Guide · E-commerce brands

Many of your orders are gifts. None of them sound like the person who sent them.

The gift-note field takes 120 characters and gets printed on a slip. Meanwhile the sender is not in the room when the box is opened — and that is the only moment they care about.

This guide shows how Livstick adds a video message to an online order: chosen in the cart, recorded right after checkout, delivered with the parcel and played when the box is opened.

What changes

Three things, in your vocabulary.

  1. A gift option that earns its place in the cart

    One checkbox at checkout — free, paid or bundled into gift wrap. Your merchandising rules, not ours.

  2. A reason for the recipient to know your brand

    The person who opens the box lands on a page in your colors — often the first time they meet you.

  3. First-party data from a gesture people want to make

    Consented, and tied to an order you already own — not scraped from a third party.

The journey

The same four steps, told from the cart.

  1. In the cart

    One extra line item. Your checkout doesn't change shape.

  2. Right after the order

    The sender records from the confirmation page, in your brand.

  3. In the parcel

    Nothing changes in your fulfilment — one insert or one email.

  4. A man smiles at the video message that came with his gift

    At the reveal

    They scan, and the sender is suddenly in the room.
