What it is
Checkout order notes and gift message, explained
The Notes widget shows a checkbox with a title you write, for example a gift wrap request. You can show a text box when the box is ticked, with your own placeholder, so shoppers can type a message.
Whatever the shopper ticks or types is saved to the order note as a readable line, one line per Notes widget, so your team sees it on the order. Use it for gift messages, delivery instructions, or consent checkboxes. Checkout customization needs Shopify Plus.
