  2. Turn on Card message suggestions if you want customers to see preset options.
  3. Set the character limit allowed for card messages.

Tips

  • Keep your character limit generous enough for a heartfelt message, but short enough to fit neatly on a card.
  • Refresh your suggested messages seasonally to match occasions like Mother`s Day or Christmas.
  • Test the checkout yourself after making changes to see how the card message field looks to customers.
  • Add card message suggestion - view Add card messages
