Introduction to Box Builder

Overview

Giftship’s Box Builder lets customers build their own gift box through a guided, step-by-step experience — instead of choosing a pre-built option, they pick the products, options, and details that go into their box.

This makes it easy to offer curated gift boxes for occasions like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Valentine’s Day, corporate gifting, cheese and wine boxes, and more.

You can create one Box Builder for your entire store, or set up multiple Box Builders for different themes, holidays, or product categories — each one lives at its own unique URL, so you can even create a private box for a single corporate client.

Giftship Box Builder includes:

• Multiple layout themes
• Unlimited builder steps
• Product, collection, image, and form field options
• Minimum and maximum selection rules
• Multiple box sizes, renamed to whatever you’d like
• Optional box size fees
• Built-in box discount options
• Custom CSS, so the builder can match your brand’s look and feel

Box Builder Steps

Each Box Builder is made up of steps, which control what customers see as they build their box.

Steps can be used to let customers choose products, select from a collection, pick an image option, or complete form fields such as a gift message, delivery date, or recipient details.

Giftship also supports a Gift Recipients step, which can be used when customers need to send gifts to multiple people at different addresses.

Box Sizes

Box sizes control how the box changes as customers add items.

You can create multiple box sizes and base them on either the total number of products or total product weight. You can also charge an additional fee for each box size, or apply a discount to encourage customers to add more.

For example, you could create:

• Small Box
• Medium Box
• Large Box

As customers add more items to their box, Giftship automatically adjusts the box size based on your settings.
