# Gift Card

### How to Add the Gift Card Section to `gift_card.liquid`

The Gift Card section (`design_pack_v3_-_gift_card`) is a static section and must be manually included in your Shopify theme’s `gift_card.liquid` template. This process is slightly different from adding dynamic sections, as it requires editing the template file directly.

#### Step-by-Step Instructions

1. **Locate the `gift_card.liquid` Template**
   * In your Shopify theme, navigate to the `templates` folder.
   * Find the file named `gift_card.liquid`.
2. **Open the File for Editing**
   * Open `gift_card.liquid` in your code editor.

3. **Insert the Section Tag**

* Find the opening `<body>` tag in the file. This is usually near the top of the file.
* Directly below the `<body>` tag, add the following line:

  ```liquid
  {% section 'design_pack_v3_-_gift_card' %}
  ```
* Your file should look something like this:

  ```liquid
  <body>
    {% section 'design_pack_v3_-_gift_card' %}
    <!-- other content -->
  </body>
  ```

{% embed url="<https://share.zight.com/L1uwYZOl>" %}

4. **Save Your Changes**

* Save the file after adding the section tag.

5. **Preview Your Gift Card Page**

* Go to your store’s gift card page to ensure the new section appears and functions as expected.

#### Why This Step Is Needed

Because the Gift Card section is a static section, it cannot be added through the theme editor’s “Add section” interface. Instead, it must be included manually in the template file using the {% section 'design\_pack\_v3\_-\_gift\_card' %} tag. Placing it directly below the \<body> tag ensures it loads at the top of the page, as intended.

**Tip:** If you ever update or replace the `gift_card.liquid` template, you’ll need to repeat this process to re-add the section, but all of your content will still be saved.
