Gift wrapping questions on WhatsApp: what to confirm before checkout
Help gift buyers check wrapping, card messages and visible prices without promising a service your store cannot fulfil.

“Will it fit?” Answering product measurement questions on WhatsApp
Give the right model’s dimensions with units and orientation, distinguish product size from packaging, and check missing measurements instead of promising fit from a photo.
“Is it covered by warranty?” Answering warranty questions on WhatsApp before a sale
Separate warranty duration, coverage and service responsibility so a Salla shopper gets a useful answer without an invented replacement promise.
Can I order 40 pieces? Handling bulk requests on WhatsApp without overpromising
Turn a Salla shopper's bulk or gift request into a clear brief for your team, without inventing stock, a discount, customization or a delivery promise.
“Can you send it as a gift?” needs more than yes
Confirm three things before asking the shopper to pay: whether this item can be gift-wrapped, how to add a card message, and what price information the recipient will see. Explain any fee and where the buyer must choose the service. A WhatsApp conversation is not confirmation that the packing team received the request.
For a perfume set, wrapping may already be part of the product. For a coffee maker, a ribbon around the shipping carton may be the only available option. Describe the actual service, not the presentation the shopper hopes for.
Check the service, not just the packaging
| Buyer asks | Confirm with your store |
|---|---|
| Can you wrap these separately? | Whether wrapping is per item or per order, eligible sizes, and the total fee. |
| Can you write my message? | The supported length and language, and the exact place to enter the final wording. |
| Will they see the price? | Which packing slips, product labels or recipient notifications may show it. Do not promise that every price is hidden. |
| Can it arrive as a surprise? | Whether delivery requires a call or message to the recipient. Do not guarantee a surprise. |
Use a current photo of your real wrapping if you have permission to share it. If options vary, label the photo as an example and explain what can differ. A beautiful gift image is not evidence that a particular box is available.
Keep the card wording exact
Names, punctuation and the sender’s signature matter on a gift card. Ask the buyer to approve the final text in the store’s supported order flow. Do not let an automated reply improve or translate a personal message without being asked.
Read an example that keeps the next step clear
Hypothetical example for a store that offers wrapping and has a gift-message field. It is not a customer conversation or a TajirTalk-generated result.
“This perfume set supports gift wrapping. Select the wrapping option on its product page to see the current fee. Enter your card text in the gift-message field before paying, including the name you want on the card. I can explain the steps here, but this chat does not add wrapping or a card to your order.”
Use this only if those checkout options really exist. If your team handles requests manually, explain its actual confirmation process instead.
If an order has already been placed, treat a new card message as an order-change request. A person must check whether packing has started and confirm what can still be changed. Avoid “done” until the change is actually recorded.
Give TajirTalk a small, accurate gift FAQ
TajirTalk supports merchant-written questions and answers that can be enabled for AI replies. Add separate answers for eligible products, wrapping fees, card entry and visible price information. Keep the checkout instructions specific to your store; do not describe an order field you do not have.
Record customer-specific card text in your approved order process, not in a shared FAQ. The FAQ should explain the service for future shoppers, not contain one person’s message, address or recipient details.
Test the promise the buyer will hear
Ask internally about one eligible item, one oversized item and an already-paid order. Check that the answer explains the fee and next step, does not invent wrapping eligibility, and does not say a change is complete. No real customer message or order change is needed for this review.
When the shopper also needs an arrival date, use your delivery-before-an-occasion checklist. Packaging and delivery are separate promises.
