Gift Wrapping at WC checkout

Let's now look at how your customers could check for a checkout gift packing🎁 .

First, you have this Ship to address section by default in your store's checkout.

So it'll be the place to put our WooCommerce checkout gift option. I called it Send as a gift🎁 .

To add new WC checkout fields you need Flexible Checkout Fields - a free WooCommerce plugin. Watch a video that shows you the plugins' features in the free version, which is the one you'll need to add gift wrapping to your checkout:

Once you install and activate the plugin, go to WooCommerce → Checkout Fields. You'll find a Shipping tab there.

Then, add a new Checkbox. Enter your label name and click Add Field:

Next, move the new field to the top of the WooCommerce checkout shipping section. You can change a few options there too:

Also, look at the Appearance tab. You can set your own CSS styling there.

That's all! You have just implemented the WC checkout gift feature in your store.
