Taza sends a gift message when the parcel arrives, or on a date the buyer picks

Taza Chocolate's cart drawer offers a gift message on each item. The form asks for the recipient, the sender and up to 500 characters of message, then asks when to send it: on delivery, straight away, or on a date the buyer chooses. The message goes to the recipient by email or text, not on a card in the box. We read the form on the live store on 10 November 2026 and did not submit it.

What the form asks, in order

  1. A line that says what the form is for. "Gifting has never been easier", then: perfect if you are short on time or cannot deliver the gift yourself.
  2. To and From. Two short fields, "Who is it for?" and "Who is this from?".
  3. A message of up to 500 characters. The counter reads 0/500 when the box is empty.
  4. The recipient's email and phone number. The phone field opens with a United States code, +1.
  5. When to send. Three choices sit side by side: On Delivery, Send Now and Send Later. On Delivery is selected when the form opens.
  6. The rule under the choice. On delivery, the form says the message "will be sent when your order is delivered to your shipping address".
  7. Save message. A black button saves the message. We did not press it.

Where the form sits

The form opens from the cart. After Add to cart on the Peppermint Stick Dark Bark page, the drawer shows the bag and a gift message line under the item, above the totals and the checkout buttons. The gift is set before the shopper reaches checkout, not on a separate page.

What the app charges

The app's listing on the Shopify App Store describes a service that sends branded SMS or email gift messages when a parcel is delivered or ships. It says the first 20 single gifts are free and each gift message after that costs $1. The listing reads 5.0 from 172 reviews, with a free plan and the Built for Shopify badge. The figures are the listing's own, and they may have changed since we read them.

The mock-up copies the three send choices. Pick one, type a message, and the line under it changes. It is an illustration only. Nothing is sent, and the wording for each choice is ours.

What a buyer does, step by step

  1. Adds the gift to the cart.
  2. Opens the gift message line and enters the recipient and the sender.
  3. Writes the message, up to 500 characters.
  4. Chooses On Delivery, Send Now or Send Later, and enters a date for the last one.
  5. Saves the message, then goes to checkout.

Who else does it

Two other findings on this site show a choice that sits beside the buy button or in the cart. Bruvi asks "Is this a gift?" beside Add to Cart on its bundle, and Chubbies lists its free hats in the cart drawer.

What we did not check

We did not enter a name, an email address or a phone number, did not press Save message, and did not reach checkout. We did not read the app's terms, and we did not check what happens to a timed message when a parcel is late. The app price is from its listing and may change.

Where to look

Taza is at tazachocolate.com. We read the Gifts collection and the Peppermint Stick Dark Bark page at 1440 pixels, and the homepage at 390 pixels, on 10 November 2026. We added one bag to the cart in the browser and did not check out. Taza is one of the fifty stores on The Shopify 50 page.
