Shopify Ops Glossary

Gifting Operations

The ops processes around gift orders — gift wrapping, gift notes, gift receipts, and gift returns.

Definition

Gifting operations encompass the management of orders placed as gifts — including gift message handling, gift receipt generation, gift wrapping fulfillment, and the special return considerations that apply when the recipient (not the purchaser) wants to exchange.

Why It Matters for Shopify Brands

Holiday gifting represents 30–50% of annual revenue for many Shopify brands. Ops failures during gifting season — missing gift notes, incorrect gift messages, no gift receipt — create the worst possible impression on gift recipients who are first-time brand customers.

Benchmarks

Brands with dedicated gifting workflows see 15–25% higher gift recipient NPS than brands that treat gift orders the same as standard orders.
