Changelog

Follow new updates and improvements to Giftnote.

Archive gift orders, free gifts for every recipient, and Multi Gift approvals

New

  • Archive gift orders. Archive or unarchive any gift order from its page in the Shopify app.
  • Free gifts on every recipient's order. A gift with purchase now lands on each recipient's order in a Multi Gift, not only the main one.

Improved

  • Approve held Multi Gifts. When a Multi Gift needs approval, you can approve or deny it in the Shopify app. Claim emails wait until you approve.
  • Nav text replaces Wordmark. In Settings > Multi Gifts > Branding, Nav text shows in your storefront nav when you have no logo.
  • Multi Gift emails. Four Multi Gift emails start switched on, and you control each one with its own switch.
  • Team emails. New contacts start with Important updates, Product updates and Performance emails on. Multi Gift admin emails are opt-in. The store owner gets all four.
  • Faster app. The Giftnote app reopens without the sign-in wait. Pages your plan doesn't include show an upgrade card.
  • Development stores. Partners and agencies can subscribe a development store to a paid plan using Shopify test charges.

Addressless Multi Gifts, a smarter setup guide and faster order processing

New

  • Addressless Multi Gifts. Your customer pays for the gifts up front. Once recipients claim and add their address, the real shipping and tax are charged in one Shopify checkout. Gifts nobody claims by the deadline are refunded on the original order. Set how many days recipients have to claim in your Multi Gift settings.

Improved

  • Setup guide. Required steps tick themselves when done, the Shopify Plus step can be skipped, and a Guide button reopens it any time.
  • Checkout widget on Shopify Plus. The Checkout widget card now shows only on Shopify Plus stores (and Plus development stores), since only Plus can use it.
  • Faster, more reliable orders. Giftnote answers Shopify instantly and processes orders straight after, so busy stores see fewer delays.
  • Storefront settings load faster.
  • Cleaner checkout. The "Delivered by Giftnote" line no longer appears under the button in checkout and order status.
  • Consistent wording. Every screen now says Giftnote the same way and uses US English.

Analytics and the admin experience, revamped

Analytics and the admin experience, revamped

  1. An overview plus seven dedicated reports, one date picker

  • Every KPI is on one date picker, down to the day rather than the month.

  • Dashboards are pre-computed, so they load quickly.

  • Why this matters: faster answers to "how are we doing", at whatever time window you need.

  1. See who converts, and why

  • Recipients are tracked from the gift they received to the purchase they made.

  • See whether gifting wins you new customers or brings existing ones back.

  • Open a converted recipient and see exactly which gift won them over.

  • Why this matters: gifting's return on investment is finally visible, not a guess.

  1. Uplift and AOV, compared

  • See what a gift order is worth compared to a regular order — fair across stores and currencies.

  • Average order value for gift orders is benchmarked against your regular orders, refreshed nightly.

  • Why this matters: a clear read on whether gifting is worth more per order, not just in volume.

  1. A gift-card liability report

  • A dedicated report for accounting, covering outstanding gift-card liability.

  • Why this matters: one less spreadsheet to maintain by hand.

  1. Numbers that self-correct

  • Edits, cancellations, and refunds automatically fix the totals — and the whole analytics layer can be rebuilt from scratch at any time if you ever need to double-check it.

  • Why this matters: your totals stay accurate as orders change.
