Giftnote vs Trove
Both give corporate buyers a place to order gifts for many recipients. Trove runs its own platform and checkout. Giftnote runs inside Shopify.
Trove offers white-label corporate storefronts, a built-in Concierge tool for managing enquiries and quotes, and invoicing, for Shopify and WooCommerce stores. Giftnote is built for Shopify brands that want corporate gifting connected to the rest of their store: Shopify checkout with no commission, live Shopify shipping rates, recipients added to Klaviyo or Attentive, and gift messages, eGift cards and Multi Gift in one app.

What brands get with Giftnote
Corporate gifting that uses your Shopify checkout, shipping and customer data.
Klaviyo and Attentive integrations- Recipient profiles built automatically
- Ready-made flows copied into your account
Every gift introduces you to a new customer
Every recipient is added to Klaviyo or Attentive with their gift details, and the gift message invites them to opt in to your marketing. On average, 74% of gift recipients are new to the brand.
One app for every kind of gift
Gift messages on everyday orders, eGift cards, store credit and Multi Gift for corporate orders all run from the same Shopify app, managed from one dashboard.
Built inside Shopify
Buyers pay in your Shopify checkout, live Shopify shipping rates apply, and every recipient becomes a normal Shopify order that flows to your warehouse or 3PL. Giftnote takes no share of your sales.
