Purpose:

This article details how merchants can offer gift wrapping to their customers.

Solution:

While this is not directly supported by NRO, there is a workaround. First you will create non-inventory items for each type of gift wrapping you would like to offer. This can be done on either the NRO side through Catalog / Manage Products , or on the CounterPoint side, through Inventory / Items . Then you will set them to display as featured items on the checkout page.

In Counterpoint

Create non-inventory item entries or non-inventory gridded items for each type of gift wrapping you would like to offer. Assign the item to an ecommerce category.
Go to Ecommerce / Publish and publish those items with an Activity setting of Add/replace.
Wait for the integration agent to pull the new file into NRO. Every 15 minutes.

In the NRO Admin Panel

Go to CMS (top most menu) > Static Block.
Select the Add New Block button .
Give your new block a Block Title, Identifier, and leave Status set to Enabled .
Design your static block however you want. Be sure and add a hyperlink to the item page in your text or behinf one of your images and save your changes.
Now move to CMS (top most menu) > Widgets and Add New Widget Instance .
Select a widget type . For this example we will use CMS Static block .
Then select a Design Package Theme . We will be selecting default/celebrity .
Seelct Continue .
In Frontend Properties give your widget a Widget Instance Title .
Click Layout Updates .
To make this widget show up on the checkout screen, choose Specified Page .
Select your Block Reference . For this example we will use Right Column .
Seelct Widget Options on the left hand side and click the Select Block... button.
Select the block that you just created and Save you changes.
Now in your Storefront, place a mock order and look at your Checkout Page .
