About Giftnote: Gift Message Engine
How Giftnote: Gift Message Engine works
Most Shopify stores ship gifts with packing slip gift messages, prices left in the box, gift cards going to the buyer not the recipient, and manual bulk gift orders.
Giftnote automates it: branded gift notes timed to delivery via carrier tracking, digital gift receipts for returns without prices, cards sent to the recipient, self-serve corporate gifting, and cashback in store credit for every giftee.
Every giftee syncs to Klaviyo, so recipients that vanish become contacts you can market to.
