How to Add the Everspring Gift Card Option to Your Shopify Store (bèta feature)

The Everspring Greeting Card module helps you sell more gifts — and make them more personal. With this feature, your Shopify product pages get a new checkbox that allows customers to add a handwritten greeting card to their order. When selected, the customer can write a short personal message (up to 230 characters) that will be printed and included with the gift. This small addition creates emotional value, strengthens your brand, and helps you sell more.

 

⚠️ Important: Beta Feature Disclaimer

This is a beta feature currently provided as a best-effort service. Everspring cannot guarantee full functionality or compatibility with all suppliers or Shopify themes.

Please note:

  • Use of this feature is at your own risk.
  • You must manually activate the feature by adding the Shopify tag everspring-giftcard.
  • Always verify that your supplier supports greeting cards before offering this option to customers.
  • Everspring does not accept liability for orders where the greeting card message is not processed, printed, or delivered.

We recommend testing this feature thoroughly before using it in live sales.

What the Feature Does

  • Once installed, each product page shows a checkbox: “Add a greeting card.”
  • When the customer checks this box, a text field appears where they can write their message.
    The message is saved in the order details and sent to your supplier (for example, Kolibrie) who includes the handwritten card in the shipment.
  • Only products with the Shopify tag everspring-giftcard will display this option.

Before You Start

  • This feature only works for suppliers that support greeting cards.

  • You control where it appears by adding the tag everspring-giftcard to selected products.

  • You’ll need to edit your Shopify theme once to insert the code snippet.

You don’t write the code yourself — the Everspring Greeting Card Assistant will do that for you.

Step 1. Open the Everspring Greeting Card Assistant

Start by opening the Everspring Greeting Card Assistant (Custom GPT).
It acts as a short installation wizard.

The assistant will:

  1. Ask you for your store’s main language (English, Dutch, German, or French).

  2. Show you the default texts for the checkbox and message field.

  3. Let you adjust those texts if you want.

  4. Generate your personal Shopify code snippet.

You don’t need to copy instructions or write code the assistant gives you exactly what you need.

Step 2. Create a Theme Backup

Before editing your theme:

  • Go to Shopify Admin → Themes → Actions → Duplicate

  • Name the copy Backup [today’s date]

This allows you to restore your store if needed later.

Step 3. Add the Snippet to the Right Place

The assistant will tell you where to paste the code.
Placement is the most important step.

  1. Go to Shopify Admin → Themes → Edit code

  2. Open your product form file (for example, main-product.liquid or product-form.liquid)

  3. Look for the section that starts with: 


  4. Paste the code inside that form, right before the “Add to Cart” button.

  5. Save your changes.

This ensures the checkbox and message field appear correctly on your product page.

Step 4. Activate It on Products

For every product where you want to offer a greeting card, add this tag in Shopify:

everspring-giftcard
 
Only those products will show the checkbox and message field.

Step 5. Test It

  • Visit a tagged product page.
  • Check if the checkbox “Add a greeting card” appears.
  • Write a short test message, add the product to the cart, and check the order details.
  • If the message appears correctly, the feature is working.
