Kit Builder for Wix: create build-your-own gift boxes and hampers

A gift feels more personal when the shopper chooses what goes inside. Kit Builder turns products from your Wix Stores catalogue into a guided gift-box, hamper or kit selection.

I'm Mark Evans at Insomnia I.T. Systems, the developer of Kit Builder. You choose the available products and quantity rules; shoppers choose a box, its contents and an optional gift message.

Fourteen-day free app trial where eligible. Wix shows the current monthly or annual price, local currency, taxes and renewal terms before you confirm.

Their gift. Their choice. Your shop.

  • Use your existing store products and supported variants, with a running subtotal as shoppers choose.

  • Organise products into groups and set minimum and maximum quantities for each box.

  • Customise colours, rounded corners and image display, and let shoppers add a personal message.

How the gift builder works

1. Prepare the packaging and products

Choose the packaging product and the items customers can put inside. Each packaging product needs an existing native text field with no surcharge, which you select in the builder settings.

2. Set your choices and quantity rules

Choose products from your catalogue, organise groups and set the allowed quantities. These rules count items; they do not calculate physical packing, weight or shipping suitability.

3. Let shoppers make it personal

Shoppers choose their contents, select supported variants and add an optional gift message. A gift reference, contents summary and message travel together in the selected packaging field.

4. Continue to your shop's cart

Current prices and stock are checked before adding. The packaging and components enter the native Wix cart as individually editable items. Stock is not reserved; checkout confirms shipping, taxes and the final payable amount.

Check these setup requirements

  • Wix Stores and Wix CMS, plus a Wix plan supporting the commerce features you use.

  • Physical products with no options or individually managed variants.

  • An existing zero-surcharge native text field on each packaging product, selected in the builder.

  • Enough field capacity for the complete gift reference, contents and message together, up to 500 characters.

  • An eligible trial or active app plan for new kit additions.

Other required customisations, preorders and recurring subscriptions are unsupported. Test your configured builder, cart, orders and fulfilment display before offering it to shoppers.

Common questions

Is a kit a single locked bundle?

No. Components remain individually editable in the native cart. If a shopper changes them there, the packaging field's original contents summary may no longer match the remaining items.

Can customers choose variants and add a message?

Supported individually managed variants are available. The optional message shares the packaging field with a gift reference and contents summary. If the complete details will not fit, the shopper must shorten the message or change the selection before adding.

Does the app discount the bundle or reserve stock?

No. It uses native product prices, does not apply a bundle discount and does not reserve stock. Keep your normal pricing and stock processes in place.

Will my fulfilment service understand the gift details?

Gift details are passed to the native packaging cart line. Check how your orders and fulfilment tools display that field; automatic interpretation by every external service is not guaranteed.
