Gift Messages

​

Enable Gift Messages

​

How It Works

1. Customer sees a text field in the box builder (below the box summary)
2. They type their personal message
3. When the box is added to cart, the message is stored with the cart item
4. At checkout, the message is saved as order item meta
5. The message appears in:
   • Order confirmation page
   • Order confirmation email
   • Admin order screen (WooCommerce → Orders → Edit Order)
   • Customer’s My Account → Orders history

Developer: Accessing the Gift Message

// Get gift message from an order item
$message = $item->get_meta( '_boxbuilder_message' );

// Filter the gift message before saving
add_filter( 'boxbuilder/gift_message', function( $message, $box_id ) {
    // Modify or validate the message
    return $message;
}, 10, 2 );
