Built into your store
Looks like you.
Looks like you.
Works like Shopify.
Gift Union picks up your theme’s colours, fonts and logo. Contributions use your Shopify checkout, and the finished gift is a Shopify gift card. Add the product-page prompt through the theme editor.
Matches your theme
Your colours, fonts and logo carry through to the gift pages. Pro gives you more control over the wording and design.
Your checkout and payments
Friends contribute through your Shopify checkout using the payment methods you already offer.
Real Shopify gift cards
Contributions become one Shopify gift card, ready to redeem through your store’s normal checkout.
Start from a product page
Add the Group Gifting Prompt block to a product template so shoppers can start a gift for something they’ve found.
Extra checks for organisers
Completing a gift, issuing refunds, cancelling and viewing the gift card code require verification through the organiser’s email.
Help keeping gifts on track
Organisers receive reminders, and open collections with paid contributions are completed automatically a week after the deadline.

How does the recipient receive their gift?
When the organiser completes the collection, Gift Union creates one Shopify gift card for the paid total. The organiser receives a private reveal link to share with the recipient, who opens their envelope and reads the messages. An open collection with paid contributions is completed automatically a week after its deadline.
Does Gift Union take a fee from contributions?
No. Gift Union charges no transaction or per-gift fees, on any plan. Contributions go through your Shopify checkout. Your payment provider’s usual processing fees and any paid Gift Union subscription still apply.
Do contributors need an account?
Contributors don’t need a Gift Union account or an app. They follow the link, choose an amount, add a message and pay through your store’s checkout.
What happens if the target is not reached?
The target is a goal for the group, rather than a minimum they must reach. The organiser can still complete the collection and create a gift card for the amount paid in. A gift card is only created when there are paid contributions.
Will the gift pages look like my store?
Gift Union picks up your theme’s colours, fonts and logo. Pro adds more control over the copy and design, including the reveal. Premium removes Gift Union branding from customer pages.
Who can manage refunds and see the gift card code?
The organiser receives a private manage link. Sensitive actions, including refunds, cancellation, completion and viewing the gift card code, also require verification through the organiser’s email. Your store team can manage collections in the app’s Shopify admin area.
How do I get started?
Install Gift Union from the Shopify App Store, then add the Group Gifting Prompt block to a product template in your theme editor. Check how it looks and run through a test collection before promoting group gifting to customers.
