[SAKU Gift Option] How to set up multiple paid options on the Pro plan

On the Basic plan, SAKU Gift Option lets customers choose from several choices within a gift option. For example, a customer selects "Gift wrapping: +$2" and then picks a "Ribbon color" and a "Wrapping paper color".
However, it wasn't possible to charge separately for each of "Ribbon color" and "Wrapping paper color".

On the Pro plan, you can add several options, each with its own price, to one product page. For example, you can show "Ribbon +$2" and "Box +$1" side by side on one product, and customers can choose either one or both. This article explains how to set it up.

What you'll learn

• How to add several gift options, each with its own price, such as "Ribbon +$2" and "Box +$1", to one product
• What to check when something doesn't work

Where to set it: Shopify admin → Apps → SAKU Gift Option → "Gift Option Settings"

To show gift options by country (market), see How to show gift options by market on the Pro plan.

To show gift options only on certain products using product templates, see How to show gift options only on some products with product templates (works on both the Basic and Pro plans).

How this differs from before

Even on the Basic plan, you could add choices such as "Ribbon color" and "Box color" as additional info to one gift option (for example, "Gift wrapping +$5"). However, these choices have no price of their own, so choosing one doesn't change the total.

On the Pro plan, you can now add the options themselves. Each option uses its own product (and so its own price), so the price of every option the customer chooses is added, such as "Ribbon +$2" and "Box +$1".

You can't set a different price for each choice (such as a color or pattern), even on the Pro plan. To price things separately, make them separate gift options.

How it works

After you set it up, your product pages work like this:

1. A customer opens a product page.
2. If you added gift options, one dropdown appears for each gift option, and the customer can choose the options they like.
3. The price of each chosen option is added (for example, choosing Ribbon +$2 and Box +$1 adds $3 in total).

To set this up, follow these steps:

1. Switch to the Pro plan
2. Add gift options (to add several options)
3. Save and check your store

Before you start

• The basic setup of SAKU Gift Option (choosing the gift option product and adding the block to your theme) is done. If not, start with How to set up the app.
• A Pro plan subscription (on development stores, Pro plan features are free)
• Products to use for the gift options you add (for example, a ribbon product or a box product)

1️⃣ Switch to the Pro plan

1. In the app's left menu, open "Pricing".
2. Click "View or change plan". Shopify's plan selection page opens.
3. Choose the Pro plan and approve it by following the steps on the screen.
4. Go back to the app. You're done when the "Plan" card on the home page shows "Current plan: Pro".

To check or change your plan, also see How to check and change your plan.

2️⃣ Add gift options (add several options)

To offer options with separate prices, such as "Ribbon" and "Box", you add gift options one at a time. Your existing gift option becomes "Gift option 1", and you add a second, third and more below it. Each gift option uses a different product, so each has its own price.

1. In the "Gift options" card of "Gift Option Settings", click "Add gift option (Pro plan)" at the lower left of the last gift option. "Gift option 2" appears.
2. In "Heading", enter the name customers see (for example, Ribbon). You can also leave it blank (see the notes below).
3. Click "Select Product" and choose the product to use for this gift option (for example, a ribbon product).
4. In the card of the selected product, check "Gift Option Display Name" and "Gift Option Price".
5. To add more, click "Add gift option (Pro plan)" again and repeat steps 2–4.
6. To change the order, click "↑" or "↓" at the top right, or drag the handle at the left. To delete a gift option you no longer need, click "Remove this gift option".

The red boxes show the added "Gift option 2" and the "Add gift option (Pro plan)" button at its lower left. "Gift option 1" is above this screen.

For example, if the first gift option is "Box" (+$1) and the one you add is "Ribbon" (+$2), the product page shows a "Box" dropdown and a "Ribbon" dropdown. If the customer chooses both, $3 is added.

• The heading is the name customers see on the product page. If it's blank, the product page shows no heading, only the dropdown.
• The heading of the second and later gift options is also used as the item name on the order. If it's blank, a number is used, such as "Gift option 2" (customers in English see "Gift option 2").
• For the second and later gift options, you can't use a heading that is the same as another heading, an additional field name or "Gift option", or one that contains "[" or "]".
• You can add additional info (such as ribbon color) to each gift option. It appears right below the gift option, only when the customer chooses that gift option. The fields you add to the second and later gift options are limited to 8 in total.
• As with the first gift option, turn off inventory tracking for the products, and publish them to the Online Store and the markets you sell in.
• You can translate headings and display names for each language, for each gift option, in "Translations".

3️⃣ Save and check your store

1. An unsaved changes bar appears at the top of the page. Click "Save".
2. If you added gift options, check that the product page shows one dropdown for each gift option, in the order you set, and that the cart adds the price of each chosen option.

To show them on the product page:

When "Gift option scope" is "Per product", the "SAKU Gift (Product page)" block on the product page shows one dropdown for each gift option, in the order you set. Customers choose the options they like from each gift option. Additional info appears right below its gift option, only when that gift option is chosen.

The red box is the gift options block on the product page. The first option, "Message card" (when chosen, "Card color" and a message box appear below it), and the second, "Wrapping" (when chosen, "Ribbon color" appears below it), appear together, and the price of each chosen option is added. Additional info has no price. This image is from a test store; the prices are in yen.

After the customer adds it to the cart:

When the customer adds the product to the cart, the chosen gift options and additional info are listed below the product in the cart.

The red box shows the gift contents in the cart. The chosen gift options and additional info are listed below the product, and the prices of the gift options are added to the product price.

To show them on the cart page:

Set "Gift option scope" to "Entire order" and add the "SAKU Gift (Cart)" block to the cart page in the theme editor. The cart page then also shows one dropdown for each gift option. For the detailed setup, see How to set a gift option for the entire order.

If you go back to the Basic plan

On the Basic plan, the gift options you added no longer apply to your store, and only the first gift option is shown. The added gift options and their order are kept, and they are used again as they were when you return to the Pro plan.

Troubleshooting

• "Add gift option" is greyed out and can't be clicked
  You aren't on the Pro plan. Switch to the Pro plan in step 1️⃣.
• An error appears for the heading
  The heading is the same as another heading or field name, or contains "[" or "]" (second and later gift options). Change the name and save.
• You can't add more additional fields
  Fields for the second and later gift options are limited to 8 in total. Delete fields you don't use.
• Additional info doesn't appear
  Additional info appears only when the customer chooses something other than "No thanks" for that gift option.
