Filter to see only Gift Orders

To make it even easier to see all of your gift orders, you can use a filter on the ORDERS page.

Even if your customer only selected a gift option without actually typing in a specific message, selecting the Gift filter will still result in the order being included.
  1. From the left hand filter menu, expand the Notes filter.
  2. Select Gift.
