lets not use ChatGPT for replies here?
Topic summary
Goal: add a website link to sell gift cards where customers can enter any amount and send to a recipient.
What was proposed:
- Set up a gift card in Shopify admin (Products > Gift Cards), then add a “Buy a Gift Card” link/button in the theme to point to the gift card page. It was claimed customers could enter a desired amount and recipient email there, with Shopify emailing the gift card.
Key challenge/clarification:
- Another participant states Shopify does not natively allow customer-defined amounts online; only preset denominations (variants) are supported unless a third‑party app is used. Thus, the requirement for a custom amount remains unmet by the proposed steps.
Notes:
- The suggested HTML code snippet for the link/button was not included in the thread.
- A comment discouraged ChatGPT-style responses.
Outcome/status:
- No resolution. To enable arbitrary amounts, the discussion points toward using a third‑party app or custom development; otherwise, stick to preset values.
