Purchasing Items Shipped to Others

If the multiple shipping feature is enabled on your site, you can split your purchase between multiple addresses and select each address for the items.

If the Gift Note feature is enabled, you can enter information to have a note sent with the gift.

Some products (such as a brick for a building or lunch for school kids) may be offered where you can designate the purchase on behalf of a friend or family member. You can notify the honoree by sending a paper card that the organization will mail via postal mail or an eCard that is sent to the email address you supply for the honoree. These products cause the Select Card Type page to display after you place them in the cart instead of leaving the product catalog pages visible, as explained in Step 2 below.
