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.

  1. 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:

    {% section 'design_pack_v3_-_gift_card' %}

  • Your file should look something like this:

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

  1. Save Your Changes

  • Save the file after adding the section tag.

  1. 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.
