# The gift form (creator's side) Source: https://www.seedinfluencers.com/help/creator-gift-form Updated: 2026-09-24 Every screen a creator sees when they open your gift link: welcome, product picker, their info, review, and submit. This is what a creator sees when they open your gift link (`/gift/your-campaign`, or the per-creator link a merchant on the (Seed+) plan can send instead). It has no checkout, no cart, no coupon code. The creator picks a product and types their address, and submitting creates a real $0 draft order in your Shopify admin. See [zero-dollar draft orders](https://www.seedinfluencers.com/help/zero-dollar-draft-orders) for how that works under the hood. > **Tip:** Every screen below is written for the merchant reading this doc, "you" in this article means you, the brand. The creator only ever sees their own name, their own address, and the copy listed here. ## Language A creator doesn't pick their own language on the form, there's no switcher anywhere on screen. The language they see is decided entirely by the link they opened. **1. Which language renders** **Precedence, highest to lowest:** an explicit `?lang=es` (or `fr` ) on the URL always wins, this is what a link copied from the campaign editor's [Preview & share by language](https://www.seedinfluencers.com/help/campaign-editor-advanced#preview-share-by-language) tool carries; otherwise the campaign's own [Language override](https://www.seedinfluencers.com/help/campaign-editor-advanced#language) setting if you've set one; otherwise the visitor's own browser language on first visit, remembered for their next visit; otherwise English. Every screen of the form honors it, including the password gate and the unavailable/error cards, and it applies without a page reload. **What does and doesn't translate:** only Seed's own interface strings (step names, field labels, buttons, error text). It never touches anything you wrote yourself in the campaign editor, the campaign name and description, product and variant names (these come from Shopify), custom question labels, your terms & conditions text, or any per-key copy override you set in `form_config.copy`. If you write your campaign in French, an English-speaking creator still sees your French campaign name with English Seed labels around it, unless you also set an English copy override. Default: Store default, or the visitor's browser language ## Password gate If your campaign has a password set, nothing else on this page renders until the creator enters it correctly. No product names, no images, nothing. This is the only screen where product data never reaches the browser at all. **1. Heading** Fixed heading; not campaign-specific. Default: "This gift form is password-protected" **2. Body text** Tells the creator who to ask (you, the brand), not Seed. Default: "Ask the brand for the password to continue." **3. Password field** A single password input. **Continue** is disabled until something is typed. Default: empty **4. Continue button** Checks the password against the campaign's saved hash. On success, the creator moves straight to the welcome screen with no further prompt for the rest of their session (the unlock is remembered in their browser). On failure, an inline error reads **Incorrect password** . Default: "Continue" ("Checking…" while submitting) > **Tip:** This is a shared secret, not a per-creator login. Anyone who knows the password can open the form. It's meant to keep a link out of casual reach (e.g. posted publicly by accident), not to authenticate individual creators. ## Welcome screen The first screen a creator sees once they're past any password gate. Its look changes with your brand's theme (logo, colors, font, an optional hero image), but the structure is the same. **1. Hero image or product collage** If your campaign has a hero image set, it fills the top of the screen. Otherwise Seed shows a collage of up to 8 of your products' featured images instead, so the creator sees something before they scroll. Default: a 4-across grid of up to 8 product thumbnails **2. Brand logo** Shown above the heading unless the theme hides it (some brand themes render their own header instead). Default: your uploaded logo, or a 🎁 icon if none **3. Heading** Your campaign's `name` field, verbatim. Default: your campaign's name, or "You've been gifted!" if it has none **4. Welcome message** An optional line of custom text you can set under your brand settings. Hidden unless set. Default: hidden **5. Shipping and free-gift lines** Two reassurance lines with icons (📦 and 🆓 by default, or a custom emoji if you set custom text). If you've set "ships in X days" in your brand settings, the shipping line reads "Your gift will be shipped within {days} ." instead. Both lines are hidden entirely if your brand settings turn off reassurance text. Default: "Your gift will be shipped once you've submitted your selection." / "Completely free, no payment required." **6. Product preview** Skipped when a hero image or the fallback collage above already shows products, so they're never shown twice. Default: up to 8 thumbnails, only when there's no hero image **7. Choose My Products button** Advances to the product-picker step. Always full-width, in your brand's primary color. Default: "Choose My Products →" > **Tip:** Some brands get a bespoke welcome screen with their own layout instead of the generic one above. The steps that follow are identical regardless of which welcome screen a creator sees. ## Step 1 · Choose products A progress bar and a "Step 1 of 3" counter sit above every step from here on. The step's own heading reads **Choose Products**. **1. Item limit line** Reflects your campaign's **Items per order** setting. Reads "Choose up to 1 item" when the limit is 1, "Choose up to N items" for any other number, or "Choose up to any number of items" when there's no cap. Once the creator has picked something, a count like "(2 selected)" appends in your accent color. Default: "Choose up to any number of items." (or a specific count) **2. Gift value line** Only appears if you've set a maximum gift value on the campaign's Advanced tab. Shows a running total ("Gift value: $24.00 of $30.00 limit") that turns red and adds ", remove an item to continue" once the creator goes over. Default: hidden unless a value cap is set **3. Product card** Each card shows the product image, title, a variant dropdown (only if the product has more than one variant), and an **Add to my gift** button. A product with only one variant skips the dropdown entirely. Cards can render one per row (default) or two-up, and newest-first or in your saved order, depending on your campaign's Form tab settings. Default: one per product, in the order set on the campaign **4. Variant dropdown** Lists every variant you allowed for this campaign (or every variant if you didn't restrict any). An out-of-stock variant is greyed out in the list with "(Out of stock)" after its name and can't be selected. Default: the product's first in-stock variant **5. Sold out badge** A black "Sold out" pill appears over the product image when every variant of that product is out of stock. The whole card dims and its button reads "Sold out" instead of "Add to my gift". Default: hidden **6. Quantity stepper** Only shown once a product is selected, and only if your campaign turns on per-item quantities. − and + buttons; bounded by both your total item limit and any per-line "quantity up to" cap set on the Advanced tab. Default: hidden **7. Add / Selected (Remove button** Turns into a filled "✓ Selected. Remove" button once tapped. Disabled (and relabelled "Max N item(s) reached") once the creator hits your item limit; relabelled "Sold out" or " {variant} is out of stock" when the current selection can't be added. Default: "Add to my gift" → "✓ Selected), Remove" **8. Store link / size charts / shipping notes** An optional row above the Continue button. Shows a "Visit store →" link, a collapsible size chart image, and/or a country-specific shipping note. Each only when you've set it on the campaign's Advanced tab. Default: hidden **9. Floating cart** A small "Your cart · N items" card fixed to the bottom-right, listing what's selected with a × to remove each line without scrolling back up. Default: hidden until the creator picks something **10. Continue button** Also disabled if the creator is over your gift-value limit, or under a "minimum products per submission" you've set. Default: "Continue →", disabled with nothing selected > **Tip:** By default Seed shows an out-of-stock variant greyed out rather than hiding it. If your campaign turns on "Hide sold out" (the default when it's available) or "Hide draft products" in Settings, sold-out variants or unpublished products are left out of the grid entirely instead. ## Step 2 · Your info Heading reads **Your Info**. Every field below can be shown/hidden and required/optional per campaign from the Form fields card in the campaign editor. The defaults shown are what a campaign gets if you've never touched that card. **1. First name / Last name** Both always shown and required. Shopify can't create a draft order without a name. Default: shown, required **2. Email** Always required. Seed checks a handful of common typo domains (like `gmail.con` ) as the creator types and offers a one-tap "Did you mean {corrected} ?" fix, it never blocks submission, just suggests. Default: shown, required **3. Instagram Handle** A single "@" input. Can be relabelled (e.g. to match a different platform), hidden entirely, or made required, all from the Form fields card. Moved to the end of the form (after your custom questions) if you turn on "Social fields last". Default: shown, optional **4. TikTok Handle / YouTube Channel** Off by default. Turn either on from the Form fields card to collect it alongside Instagram. Default: hidden **5. Phone** Becomes required automatically for a creator who picks parcel-locker delivery (see below), the pickup code is sent by SMS, so a locker gift can't ship without it. Default: shown, optional **6. Country** Hidden entirely (no dropdown at all) when your campaign only ships to one country, there's nothing to choose. Add more countries from the campaign's Form tab to show the select. Default: your own shop's country; a select if you allow more than one **7. Parcel locker picker** For a handful of countries with live locker networks (e.g. the Baltics), Seed offers a searchable locker picker instead of a typed address by default, a creator can always tap "Ship to a street address instead" to switch back. If the carrier directory can't be reached, Seed falls back to the street-address form automatically. Default: a street address form **8. Street address / Apt / City / State / ZIP** Standard address fields. State/Province, ZIP, and Apt/Suite can each be individually shown/hidden and required/optional from the Form fields card. ZIP can be restricted to digits only. Default: shown; address1/city required, the rest optional **9. Custom questions** Any extra questions you've added on the campaign (e.g. "Pet name", "T-shirt size") render here as plain text inputs. Their answers are appended to the draft order's note in Shopify, not stored as separate columns. Default: none **10. Review Order button** Also disabled while a parcel-locker creator hasn't picked a locker, or while a required custom question is blank. Default: "Review Order →", disabled until every required field is filled ## Step 3 · Review Heading reads **Review**. The creator sees a read-only summary before submitting. **1. Products summary** An **Edit** link jumps back to step 1 without losing anything already filled in on step 2. Default: every selected item and variant **2. Shipping summary** Also has its own **Edit** link, back to step 2. Default: the name, address, phone, email, and Instagram handle entered on step 2 **3. Terms summary banner** A short one-line summary of what the creator is agreeing to, shown in an orange callout above the full terms, only appears if both your campaign has terms and you've set a summary line. Default: hidden **4. Terms & conditions** A collapsible block (tap "View" to expand) showing your full terms text, with a required checkbox reading "I have read and agree to the terms & conditions." Submission is blocked until it's checked. Both in the browser and again on the server, so a bypassed browser check can't skip it. Default: hidden unless the campaign has terms text **5. Second consent checkbox** An optional extra checkbox (e.g. "OK to use my content in paid ads") you can turn on per campaign. Can be required or optional. Default: hidden **6. Marketing opt-in checkbox** An optional checkbox that, when checked, sets the creator's Shopify email-marketing consent on submit. Best-effort, never blocks the order if it fails. Default: hidden **7. Submit button** Can be relabelled per campaign. Disabled while required terms/consent boxes are unchecked, while submitting, or if the gift value is over your limit. Default: "Confirm & Submit" ("Placing your order…" while submitting) ## Errors on submit If **Confirm & Submit** fails, an inline red banner appears above the button with a message translated into the creator's chosen language where Seed has a translation. See [creator says the form errored](https://www.seedinfluencers.com/help/form-errored) for what each message means and how to fix it. ## Unavailable link If the link itself can't be used at all. The campaign is paused, deleted, or has hit its order cap. The creator never reaches the welcome screen. They see a centered card instead. **1. Heading** Overridable per shop under your out-of-orders brand copy. Default: "This gift link is no longer available" **2. Body text** Also overridable per shop. Default: "It may have reached its order limit or been deactivated." ## FAQ **Does the creator need a Shopify account or a discount code?** No. They never see a checkout, a cart, or a coupon field. They pick a product and type their address; the order is created for them at $0. **What language does the gift form show a creator?** Whatever language the link they opened points to, there's no switcher on the form itself. Send them a link with ?lang=es or ?lang=fr (from the campaign editor's Advanced tab) to put them straight into that language; otherwise it follows your store default or their browser's language. Anything you typed yourself (campaign name, description, product names, custom question labels, your terms text) stays in the language you wrote it in either way.
