Let the Buyer Fill the Gift Box
Gift Box Retailers
For wedding favors, corporate gifts or holiday baskets, let the buyer pick what goes in the box instead of offering many pre-made combinations.
Let customers build their own box
Box Builder adds a product type where shoppers pick the items that fill a box, such as a gift set, sampler or mixed six-pack, at a box price you set.

Everything a Build-Your-Own Box Needs
Choose the products that can go in the box and the box size, and shoppers fill the slots and check out.
Interactive Desktop Builder
Products in a clean grid on the left, a visual "Build Your Box" sidebar on the right with slot previews. Slots fill in real time, progress reads "3/4 Items Selected," and every add gets satisfying visual feedback.
Touch-Friendly Mobile Experience
Responsive two-column product grid, a sticky floating progress bar, and touch-friendly quantity controls. No pinching, no zooming, no frustration.
Dual Inventory Management
Track stock at the box level (you have 50 boxes, you sell 50 boxes) or at the item level, so a customer who picks 3 of a product with 2 in stock knows before checkout fails.
Dual Tax Handling
Apply the box product's tax profile to the whole purchase, or calculate tax from each item's own profile. Different tax rates for different product categories? Handled.
Grid or List Display
Bootstrap 5 card grid, 3 columns on desktop and 2 on tablet and mobile, or a compact list for stores with many options. Use the default or set it per product.
Product Ordering Control
Show selectable items by article order, title, the order you added them in admin, or shuffled randomly on every load. Ascending or descending.
Mobile Sticky Bar
A fixed progress indicator follows mobile shoppers as they scroll: items selected, remaining slots, and a prominent action button that turns into "Add to Cart" when the box is full. Disable it if you prefer.
Item Details Display
Toggle it on and customers can expand each box item's full product description and main image right on the product detail page. Useful when the details matter before selecting.
Downloadable Product Support
If someone builds a box containing downloadable products, those files get properly attached to their order. Download links work. Access grants work.
Bootstrap 5 Native
The interactive UI is built on Bootstrap 5 from the ground up. Works with Cassiopeia. Works with your custom template. CSS variables let you tweak colors without touching core styles.
Gift Boxes Built by the Buyer
Set a box size and the products that can go in it, and shoppers fill each box themselves.
Product Level Display Options
Use the default display or choose grid or list, and the product order, for each box product.
- Article Order (ASC/DESC)
- Title (ASC/DESC)
- Added Order (the order you added them in admin)
- Random (shuffle it up every load)
Clean Cart Display
When a customer adds their built box to the cart, it shows up as a single line item with their selections listed:
Build Your Own 6-Pack $48.00 Contains: (2) Chocolate Chip Cookie (2) Oatmeal Raisin Cookie (1) Peanut Butter Cookie (1) Sugar Cookie
Matching items are combined into one line with a quantity.
Show Item Details in the Builder
Toggle the Item Details Display on and customers can expand to see each box item's full product description and main image right on the product detail page. Useful when your box items have important details customers might want to know before selecting.
Box Item Requirements
Before you set up a box, note these limits:
- No variant selection within box items: Products with options (like size/color) aren't supported as box items. The product needs a single variant.
- Fixed box pricing: The box price is set on the box product, not calculated from item prices. (This is usually what you want for "build your own" scenarios.)
- No category filters: All eligible products show in one list. You can't filter by category within the builder interface.
Each box item must be a product with a single variant.

Use Cases
Anywhere the buyer should pick what goes in the box.
Build Your Own 6-Pack
Food & Beverage Shops
Build your own 6-pack of craft beer. Mix and match cookie boxes. Curate your own tea sampler. Customers get exactly what they want.
Pick Any 5 Samples
Sample & Trial Sellers
Offer "pick any 5 samples" bundles. Great for cosmetics, supplements, specialty foods, anything where customers want to try before committing to full sizes.
Case Packs on the Customer's Terms
Wholesale & B2B
Let business customers build their own case packs. "Pick any 12 items for case pricing" is a lot more appealing than "buy these specific 12 items."
