7. FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

How can I use this extension for Product Engraving?

The extension can be configured to support Product Engraving. Admin can create Engraving options as standard Magento products and assign them to the configured personalization product category. Then adjust the extension settings as required, such as the section title, button text, and gift message character limit.

How can I control the stock of Personalization options?

The extension uses Magento’s native product management for personalization services. Each personalization option is managed as a separate Magento product, allowing you to control its price, inventory, availability, image, and description using the standard Magento product management.

How do I add a new Gift Wrapping or Personalization option?

Create a new product from Admin → Catalog → Products → Add Product, configure the product price and other required details, and assign it to the category selected in the extension’s Personalization Product Category configuration. The product will then be available as a personalization option in the shopping cart.

Can I use the extension for services other than Gift Wrapping?

Yes. The extension is designed to support different types of value-added services using standard Magento products. Examples include Product Engraving, Premium Gift Box, Greeting Cards, Special Packaging, and other personalization services. You can configure the section title and button text to match the service being offered.

Where do customers select the Gift Wrapping or Personalization option?

Personalization services are presented in the shopping cart after customers add products to their cart. Customers can review the available services and their prices and update their selection without leaving the shopping cart.

Can customers add a personalized message?

Yes. Customers can enter a personalized gift message from the shopping cart. The administrator can configure the maximum number of characters allowed, and a live character counter is displayed while the customer is typing.

Can I change the Gift Wrapper heading and button text?

Yes. The extension provides configuration options for the Section Title and Button Text displayed in the shopping cart. This allows you to adapt the wording to your service—for example, changing the title to “Product Engraving” and the button to “Add Engraving.”

How can I disable the Gift Wrapper & Product Personalization section?

Go to the extension configuration in Magento Admin and set Enable Extension to No. When the extension is disabled, the personalization section is hidden from the shopping cart.

Where can I see the personalization details after an order is placed?

The selected personalization service, customer gift message, personalization product pricing, and order summary are stored with the order. Store administrators can review these details from the Magento Admin Order View when processing the order.

Why are my personalization products not appearing in the shopping cart?

Check the following:

• The extension is enabled.
• A valid personalization product category is selected in the configuration.
• The personalization products are assigned to that category.
• Magento cache has been refreshed.
• Static content has been deployed after installation.
• Magento indexes have been rebuilt if required.

Can I change the price of a Gift Wrapping or Personalization service?

Yes. Personalization options are standard Magento products, so their prices can be managed through the normal Magento product management. The selected service price is reflected in the shopping cart and stored with the order.

Can I add or remove personalization options after configuring the extension?

Yes. You can create additional personalization products, update existing products, enable or disable services, manage inventory, change images and descriptions, and organize services through Magento’s standard catalog management.
