What It Does

The Gift Wrapper treats your gift wrapping service as a WooCommerce product, allowing it to be inventoried, priced, discounted, and taxed separately. Create and offer as many gift wraps as you like, where you like. Not just for gift wrap - use Gift Wrapper for any cart add-ons! Examples include adding condiments to a food order or accessories to an electronics order.

Features include creating a simple gift wrap option form on the cart and/or checkout page, setting individual prices, descriptions, and images for wrapping types, and showing or hiding gift wrap images in the cart and checkout. The plugin also accepts additional gift wrap notes and sends notifications to customers about their gift wrap messages.

The PRO version offers more features such as per-product gift wrapping options, allowing different gift wrap products for each item in the cart, and more customization options for product pages. This plugin is fully compatible with Elementor Pro and various WooCommerce functionalities.

FAQ

Things to check:

Is WooCommerce activated and configured, and are all the theme files current (check WooCommerce->System Status if unsure)
Is the Gift Wrapper plugin activated?
Are you using WooCommerce version 7.2 or newer? Time to upgrade!
Are you using WooCommerce block-style (Gutenberg) cart/checkout? Sorry, Gift Wrapper is not compatible with blocks (yet) The plugin is intended to work with the old-school WC cart/checkout shortcodes.
Have you created at least one WooCommerce gift wrap product, given it a price (even if $0), saved it to a WooCommerce product category, and entered that product category in your Gift Wrapper settings?
Does the your-theme-or-child-theme/woocommerce/cart/cart.php file include at least one of the following hooks?

do_action(‘woocommerce_before_cart’); or
do_action(‘woocommerce_before_cart_collaterals’); or
do_action(‘woocommerce_after_cart’); or

6a. Does the your-theme-or-child-theme/woocommerce/checkout/form-checkout.php file include at least one of the following hooks?

do_action('woocommerce_before_checkout_form'); or do_action('woocommerce_after_checkout_form');

Due to third-party theme and plugin overrides, these hooks might be moved or removed. If you can’t find any of these hooks in your WooCommerce installation, you are missing a crucial hook(s) to the functioning of this plugin. Try using a different location for the “Where to Show Gift Wrapping” in the plugin settings, and if that doesn’t work, try the Storefront or TwentyTwentyTwo theme and disable all plugins except WooCommerce & Gift Wrapper to rule out theme/plugin interference.

Gift Wrapper Plus (paid upgrade) allows for easy additional hook placements – just type in the name of the hook you want used.

Yes, use the ‘wcgiftwrap_change_thumbnail’ hook in your (child) theme functions.php file as follows:

function my_custom_thumbnail_size( $thumbnail ) {     $thumbnail = 'medium'; // default WP sizes are 'thumb', 'medium', 'medium_large', and 'large'     return $thumbnail; } add_filter( 'wcgiftwrap_change_thumbnail', 'my_custom_thumbnail_size', 10, 1 );

This is just an example. Change ‘medium’ to the size desired, using an existing WordPress image size slug. You can also use an image size slug created by an active plugin or theme. If thumbnails do not show in your size afterward, it’s possible you need to clear caches or run thumbnail regeneration.

Gift Wrapper Plus (paid upgrade) allows users to set thumbnail size in the settings.

This plugin is heavily CSS-tagged. If you don’t want to show a part of what the Gift Wrapper displays, add custom CSS to your WordPress theme settings, WordPress theme css (usually style.css), or – better yet – WordPress child theme CSS file (style.css). WordPress also allows CSS to be added in the Customizer.

An example might be:

Let’s hide the gift note textarea/textbox. Add this CSS to your theme:

.wcgwp-note-container textarea {display: none;}

.wcgwp-note {display: none;}

Both lines of CSS should work (version > 6.0). I cannot support all the requests for free custom theme help any longer! Please study up CSS or hire a developer to help you make custom theme and plugin modifications. WooCommerce has provided some recommendations for where to seek help. Thank you for understanding.

To hide the text “We offer the following gift wrap options:,” use CSS or the ‘wcgwp_hide_details’ filter hook to hide it. To use the hook, add the following code to your functions.php file:

add_filter( 'wcgwp_hide_details', '__return_true' );

The CSS would be:

.wcgwp-details {display: none;}

You can also adjust the HTML output using the template system built into Gift Wrapper.

Easy, add the following line of code to your (child) theme functions.php file:

add_filter( 'giftwrap_exclude_virtual_products', '__return_true' );

If you’re unfamiliar with how to edit the functions.php file, add this code using the Code Snippets plugin.

Easy, add the following line of code to your (child) theme functions.php file:

add_filter( 'wcgwp_remove_cod_gateway', '__return_true');

There are SO many ways to customize this plugin – all the ways! Your developer will have an easy time customizing this exactly how you want it, using filter hooks, templates and/or string translations.

The PLUS version of this plugin allows for easy string translation by using a settings panel — just type what you want it to say.

Filter hooks
The easiest option is probably to use WordPress filter hooks included with most strings in this plugin. Here’s an example for changing the “Add Gift Wrap?” text:

function my_change_wrap_prompt( $prompt ) {     $prompt = "Would you like to wrap this?";     return $prompt; } add_filter( 'wcgwp_add_wrap_prompt', 'my_change_wrap_prompt', 11, 1 );

Another less specific hook can be used to catch any string. Use the exact original string to match, then replace it:

function my_custom_wrap_strings( $string ) {     if ( 'Cancel gift wrap' === $string ) { // Check for default string         $string = 'Cancelar envolver regalo'; // Replace default string     } else if ( 'Cancel' === $string ) { // Check for default string         $string = 'Cancelar'; // Replace default string     } else if ( 'Note' === $string ) { // Check for default string         $string = 'Nota'; // Replace default string     } else if ( 'Note fee' === $string ) { // Check for default string         $string = 'Tarifa de nota'; // Replace default string     } // etc     return $string; } add_filter( 'wcgwp_filter_string', 'wcgwp_filter_strings', 11, 1 );

Now the text will say “Would you like to wrap this?” This PHP code could be added using the Code Snippets plugin if you do not have a child theme and are not comfortable editing your child theme functions.php file.

Templating
If you want to do more about styling gift wrap presentation, this plugin includes a templating system.
