shopify gift note required blocking checkout
Required gift notes that fail validation look like a broken checkout. Make the field optional or fix validation, then re-test the gift path.
The actual problem
A required cart attribute/gift note blocks Place order for shoppers who don’t want one.
Do this
- Reproduce checkout without filling optional-looking fields.
- Make gift notes optional unless the SKU truly requires them.
- Show validation errors inline — don’t fail silently.
- Re-test mobile Place order on top SKUs.
