In this article

  • How to hide it by setting the status to "Draft"
  • How to bring it back (make it Active again)
  • When the gift option is shown
  • If you want to show it on some products only

Where to go: Shopify admin → Apps → SAKU Gift Option → "Gift Option Settings" → "Status Settings"


What you need before you start

  • SAKU Gift Option is installed and the gift option is already set up
  • The status is currently "Active" before you hide it (you don't need to remove the block from your theme)


1️⃣ Set the status to "Draft" and save

"Draft" here is the status in the app's "Gift Option Settings". It's not the same as a product's "Draft" status in Shopify.

In "Status Settings" on the right side of the "Gift Option Settings" page, choose "Draft" under "Status". It's done when the "Current status:" badge turns yellow and shows "Draft".

Status set to Draft

Click "Save" in the save bar at the top of the screen. After saving, the gift option no longer appears in your store. You don't need to remove the block from your theme.


2️⃣ Bring it back (make it Active again)

To start again, set "Status" back to "Active" and click "Save". The product, display name, price and extra fields you set up are all still there.

The Gift Option Settings page, with Status Settings set to Active

The red box is "Status Settings". Choose "Active" or "Draft" under "Status".

The page also shows "Updated at:", so you can see when you switched it.


How it looks in your store

While the status is "Draft", the gift option block doesn't appear on product pages (or on the cart page for "Entire order"). Even if the block stays in your theme, nothing is shown.

The gift option appears in your store only when all of the following are true.

  • The status is "Active".
  • The block for your scope has been added to your theme and saved ("SAKU Gift (Product page)" on product pages for "Per product", or "SAKU Gift (Cart)" on the cart page for "Entire order").
  • On a live store, the app's paid plan is active (if you cancel, the block is no longer shown).

If a customer's cart still has an old gift after you change the settings, it's removed automatically and the message "Gift settings have changed. Please select your gift again, or continue without the removed gift." appears.

To show it on some products and not others, see "How to hide the option on specific products".

Troubleshooting

  • It still appears after I set it to Draft
    Check that you clicked "Save". Nothing changes until you click "Save" in the save bar. Reopen the product page in your store. If nothing changes, click your browser's reload button.
  • It doesn't appear after I set it back to Active
    Check that the block for your scope is still in your theme. For other things to check, see "What to check when the option doesn't show or can't be added".
  • Will my settings be lost?
    No. Setting the status to "Draft" doesn't delete your settings.
