The Challenge

GODIVA's products were already a favourite corporate gift, but Shopify checkout takes one shipping address per order, leaving bulk gifting to spreadsheets, email threads and manual coordination.

The Solution

A dedicated corporate gifting storefront on Giftnote Multi-Gift, with CSV recipient upload, a choice of group or per-recipient messaging, scheduled sending and several gift carts in one programme.

MELBOURNE — GODIVA, the Belgian chocolatier that has been shorthand for a serious chocolate gift since 1926, has opened a dedicated corporate and event gifting storefront for the Australian market.

The programme is powered by Giftnote, the gifting platform used by more than a thousand Shopify brands.

The brand

The shop is headed simply Gift with Godiva, with a promise that needs no elaboration: "Impress with world-class Belgian chocolate and gift boxes by Godiva." For a brand whose entire equity is recognition, that is the whole pitch.

What is in the corporate catalogue

The range is priced for real corporate volume rather than flagship retail. The 72% Dark Chocolate Carrés Gift Box, 16 pieces at 80g, sits at $31.90, with the Classic Carrés Collection Gift Box at $59.90 and an all-dark collection alongside it. That spread covers a whole-team send and a senior client gift from the same catalogue.

Why the domain matters

The programme runs at corporategifts.godiva.com.au, GODIVA's own subdomain, rather than on a shared marketplace. A corporate buyer never leaves the brand between choosing a gift and paying for it. For a company that has spent a century making the box itself part of the gift, that consistency is not a detail.

How the gifting actually works

GODIVA runs the programme on its own domain at corporategifts.godiva.com.au, running on Giftnote Multi-Gift.

After choosing gifts, the buyer lands on Recipients & Gift Messages. Recipients go in one at

a time or arrive by CSV upload. Then come two questions most gifting tools never ask: **what type of

message?** — one message for the whole list, a different note per recipient, or none at all — and

when to send?, which separates the moment the message lands from the moment the order was paid for.

There is also an Add another cart? step, which is the one people miss. A single programme can run

several different gift bundles at once, so the senior client list and the whole-team send do not have to

be two separate exercises.

Adding recipients and choosing the message type

What the programme does

One order to as many recipients as the list holds
Recipients added individually or uploaded by CSV
A group message, a different note per recipient, or none at all
A send date chosen by the buyer, not dictated by the order date
Several gift carts running inside one programme

What it unlocks for the brand

Corporate gifting is one of the few channels where a single order introduces a brand to hundreds of people at once, and every one of them opens it on purpose.

Each recipient receives a branded message with their own name on it rather than a shipping notification, and through Giftnote's Klaviyo integration they arrive in the brand's marketing as a distinct audience, separate from customers who bought for themselves.

Giftnote POV

A corporate gift is the only marketing you send that someone opens on purpose. The brands doing it properly treat the recipient as a customer they have just acquired, because that is exactly what they are.

Frequently asked questions

Does GODIVA do corporate gifting?

Yes. GODIVA takes corporate and bulk gift orders through its corporate gift shop, sending to as many recipients as the list holds from a single order.

Can you send GODIVA gifts to many addresses in one order?

Yes. The shop splits one order into per-recipient shipments, validates each address and attaches a separate message to each recipient.

Can you write a different gift message for each recipient?

Yes. The shop asks what type of message you want: one group message for the whole list, a personalised message per recipient, or none at all.

Can you choose when the gift message is sent?

Yes. The buyer selects when to send, so the message can land on the occasion rather than at the moment the order was paid for.

How does a Shopify brand send one order to many addresses?

Shopify checkout takes one shipping address per order. Sending to many recipients from a single order requires an app that splits the order per recipient, validates each address and attaches a message to each. GODIVA does this with Giftnote Multi-Gift.

What software powers GODIVA's corporate gifting?

Giftnote Multi-Gift, handling the multi-recipient storefront, CSV recipient upload, per-recipient messaging and scheduled sending on Shopify.
