Set up Giftlist

Three steps to get running. The setup panel in your dashboard handles the rest.

  1. Install Giftlist

    Skip this if the app is already in your Shopify admin.

    Install Giftlist from the Shopify App Store. One click, and Shopify drops you back in your admin.

  2. Pin the dashboard

    So you never have to search for it twice.

    Type Birthday reminders into the Shopify search bar and open the app.

    Click the pin icon to keep the dashboard in your sidebar.

  3. Open the dashboard and finish setup

    The setup panel handles the rest — buttons, wishlist page, banner.

    Open the dashboard and work through the setup panel. It walks you through every step and tells you what is still missing.

That’s it.

Giftlist is live on your store. Stuck on any step? Send us a message — we answer every one.

About the dashboard

Select the month time range to see statistics for 1 month. Select "see all" to view all data from when you first installed the app, to now.

Select the day time range to see statistics for a specific day.

See the lists created for that day. A list created does not mean an order placed or a product added to cart — it simply means someone saved your products to their wishlist AND sent it to somebody.

Often, "lists created" does not show as pink on the calendar due to Priority — because it is very likely somebody came to your store to check out the products, and that is much more important.

Orders from giftlists shows if a customer who came from a giftlist or a reminder placed an order in that same browsing session.

Saved products shows what products from your store were saved by people in general. It cannot be filtered by day or month — it is an overall statistic.

Priority

Calendar days get a color based on the most important event that day.

Rule: orders (green) > added to cart (purple) > repeat visitor (yellow) > new visitor (blue) > list created (pink).
