Thread: Gift wrapping

Has anyone developed a gift wrap option by product? I see lots of people wanting one and Jon at ADNS said they were looking at doing a gift wrap, and I don't see an add-in.

Gift wrapping can be done as a kit item option, or an order level option. Otherwise, it is a custom mod. The primary reason for this is that we asked 199 customers how they would like to see it implemented, and got 197 different answers back. This is one of those seemingly simple tasks that is actually nearly impossible to implement in a manner that meets everyones' requirements.

somewhere I had the specs for a general gift wrapping.
Basically it should be something like the kits without having to update the kit separately from buying the product.
The issue is having a one to many relationship with gift wrapping parameters and avoiding hard coding.
Thus people could choose the pricing level of the gift wrapping, whether they want ribbon decoration, a greeting card with their message, and special instructions.
By using the kit underpinnings I think this can be accomplished fairly easily and should have all the needs covered of all the ADNS developers.
If you really want to get another level deeper you could create "gift kits" for each price level of gift wrapping which would appear when the pricing level is choosen.
The appearance would be a config file which the developers could modify.
We've been doing gift wrapping for years. If anyone else has gift wrapping needs more than the above I'd like to hear from you on this thread.
