Sending Gift Receipts

If a customer selected to have a gift receipt sent by the store, their selections and preferences will be displayed in the ‘Gift Receipt’ pane on the order page. 
When you are ready to send the gift receipt, navigate to the order and click the Invoice tab, then click Gift Invoice. The system will generate a gift invoice based on the customer’s selection, including any gift messages and hiding the customer’s billing address (if this option was selected). 
 
NOTE: If this order is being sent to Ingram the gift message will not be included.
The store can then either print this invoice to include a physical copy in the package or email the invoice.
 
If you have the Bulk Order Processor, you can also send Gift Receipts in bulk. Navigate to Store > Orders > Bulk Order Operations and select "Gift Receipt" to send multiple gift invoices at once.
