Awtomic
Subscriptions and build-a-box for Shopify. Give a subscription as a gift, and let every box that lands on the doorstep say who it came from.
Key Features
Gift subscriptions with a message attached
Awtomic sells the subscription as a gift. Giftnote captures who it is from and delivers that message when the first box lands.
Build-a-box as a gift
A box assembled for a specific person is the most deliberate gifting there is, and it should not arrive anonymously.
The message fires on the first delivery
Giftnote attaches to the first Shopify order in a subscription, not every renewal, which is the right behaviour for a gift.
Find out who is actually consuming it
Gift subscriptions hide the end customer behind a billing address. 74% of Giftnote gift recipients are new to the brand.
Prepaid terms for the occasion
A three or six month prepaid gift subscription is a stronger present than a single box, and a bigger order.

About Awtomic Integration
Awtomic is a subscription and repeat purchase platform for Shopify. It handles subscriptions with dynamic and prepaid discounts, build-a-box and shuffle subscriptions, gift subscriptions, add-ons and bundling, and a mobile-first customer portal with passwordless login. Awtomic is used by brands including Josh Cellars, One Hope Wine and BlendJet, and is built for wine clubs, food and beverage and apparel.
Why is a gifted subscription different to a gifted product?
Because it arrives more than once. A subscription bought for somebody else is one of the highest-value gifts in DTC, and it creates a doorstep moment every month rather than a single one. Most brands capture none of them. The recipient gets a box, has no idea who set it up after the first delivery, and the brand never learns who is actually eating, drinking or wearing the product.
How do Giftnote and Awtomic work together?
Awtomic handles the commerce of the subscription. The billing, the prepaid term, the box contents, the portal the recipient manages it in. Giftnote handles the human half. It captures who the gift is from and what they wanted to say, then delivers a branded message timed to carrier delivery confirmation across more than 1,500 carriers.
Build-a-box is where the pairing is sharpest. Somebody assembling a box specifically for another person is doing the most deliberate kind of gifting there is, and right now that box usually arrives with nothing in it to say who sent it.
Giftnote attaches to the first Shopify order in a subscription rather than every renewal, which is the correct behaviour for gifting. The gift is the first delivery, not the recurring shipments after it.
Do I need to connect the two apps?
No. Giftnote and Awtomic run alongside each other with no integration and no developer work. No merchant, customer, or gift recipient data moves between them.
How to Get Started
Connect Awtomic to Giftnote in just a few steps
Install both apps
Install Giftnote and Awtomic from the Shopify App Store. There is no connection step between them.
Set up a gift subscription product
Use Awtomic's gift subscription and prepaid options so the buyer is not signing themselves up by accident.
Add Giftnote at checkout
For subscription products, checkout is usually the right placement, since the gift decision is made once and the product page is doing other work.
Turn on delivery-triggered messaging
Giftnote holds the gift message until the carrier confirms the first box has arrived, so it lands with the parcel.
Offer build-a-box as a gift path
Someone building a box for another person is your highest-intent gifter. Give them somewhere to say who it is from.
Capture the recipient into Klaviyo
The person receiving the boxes is usually not the person paying. Giftnote pushes recipient profiles into Klaviyo so you can talk to them directly.
