FAQ

How does it work for senders of semi-custom gifts?

For semi-custom gifting, Shoppes offers businesses an intuitive client portal for selecting gifts that are sent with custom-branded packaging. Gift options include our most popular pre-curated gift boxes, as well as Shoppes-exclusive gift box designs not found on our retail site. Simply log in to your client portal to send a gift, and we automatically package it with your custom-branded gift tag and notecard.


Because you pay for custom-branded packaging at the time of enrollment in our semi-custom gifting program, you then only pay for the gift box and shipping ($10.95 flat-rate within the continental US) when ordering gifts through the client portal. You can use your preprinted notecard (which is the default) or swap it for a custom notecard message. Notecards are located on the exterior of the gift box for easy access.


You also enter the shipment address, which can be for self-delivery or direct to the recipient.

What if I want recipients to select their own semi-custom gift?

Interested in allowing recipients to choose their own gifts that are sent with your branded packaging? Opting for an added private gift Shoppe (at no additional charge) allows for a custom-branded company store containing Shoppes-exclusive gift box designs at the price point you pre-select at the time the private gift Shoppe is created. Price point options are $99, $149, or $199; all pricing is hidden from recipients.


Recipients select gifts through a unique URL you distribute as you prefer. Upon gift selection, you'll receive an invoice. Payment for approved recipients triggers production and shipping. If a recipient is unfamiliar, do not pay the invoice and inform us to cancel the order. We fulfill orders only upon your payment, ensuring security against fraudulent activity.


Private gift Shoppes operate alongside the Shoppes client portal, giving you the flexibility to choose and send gifts as you prefer, while also enabling recipient-selected gifting.

What gifts are available for semi-custom gifting?

Semi-custom gift options in our Shoppes client portal include our most popular pre-curated gift boxes, as well as Shoppes-exclusive gift box designs not found on our retail site.


The selection of our most popular pre-curated gift boxes includes options tailored for various occasions such as celebrating new babies, promotions, wellness & self-care, housewarmings, office & productivity, thinking of you moments, and more. These gift boxes are available on our retail site.


Additionally, we include Shoppes-exclusive gift box designs not available on our retail site, which are tailored for realtor gifts, housewarmings, or general client outreach. These designs feature themes like charcuterie, home comfort, and game night. As these gifts are kept private, to access a catalog of our exclusive Shoppes gift box designs, please visit our Semi-Custom Gifting information page and fill out the contact form at the bottom.

Do I have to have a custom-branded company store/private gift Shoppe?

Not at all! Although recipient-facing company stores are a feature within our Shoppes platform, you have the option to opt out. In this case, you'll simply select a gift, provide recipient information (or opt to ship it to yourself for hand-delivery), and complete payment all within the Shoppes client portal. Your specific branded packaging will be automatically applied.


If you later choose to incorporate a private gift Shoppe for recipient-selected gifting, we can easily add one at no extra charge.

How does it work for senders of custom gifts?

For custom gifting using Shoppes, we collaborate with clients to select and customize gifts, adding them to a unique branded Shoppe page. This page offers various branding opportunities. 


Once created, clients receive a unique URL to share with recipients via email, company intranet, newsletters, greeting cards, QR codes, or other preferred methods.

How does it work for gift recipients?

Recipients simply visit the unique URL, select their gift, provide shipping (and personalization details, if applicable), and receive a tracking number once their gift ships. We handle all customer service inquiries.

Can an unintended recipient order? Who manages the process?

Unintended recipients and overordering by approved individuals are prevented. We maintain control by keeping the Shoppe URL private, using various security measures chosen by clients, and manually reviewing orders against these measures. 

Our team handles audits, recipient inquiries, and provides accessible contact information on the Shoppe page. 
Who’s it for?

Shoppes excel at handling large-scale gifting needs for marketing, events, holidays, and more. 


They're ideal for ongoing needs in agencies and firms like realtors, financial advisors, and attorneys, simplifying ongoing gifting and eliminating the need for recipient shipping addresses.

What are the minimums?

Shoppes serve two high-volume scenarios: one-time gifting (minimum 50 gifts at $60+/gift, all sent within 3 months) and ongoing gifting (starting at a $3500 non-refundable deposit, with a 50+ gift at $60+/gift commitment, all sent within 12 months). 


In the case of the latter, the deposit becomes store credit, never expires, and goes towards gift orders and shipping. Clients can replenish credit as needed, making it easy to test the program or use year-end budgets.

What if a product becomes discontinued?

Ongoing gifting has unique challenges like product availability and price changes. We guarantee product availability and pricing for six months after a Shoppe launches, and offer easy options if changes occur after that period.
