Unfortunately this is a known issue with the Yahoo Store API.  SuperWare has discussed this shortcoming with them and they have it on their list of things to address, but have not fixed it as of yet.  There is, however, a workaround using custom fields:


  • Go to your Yahoo Store manager and click on the "Checkout & Registration Manager" link
  • On the checkout & registration manager, click the "Global Settings" link
  • Select the "Checkout Settings" tab
  • Under "Gift Options", choose "Disable"
  • Click "Save"
  • Go back to the "Checkout & Registration Manager" and click the "Page Configuration" link
  • Click on the "Secure Checkout" part of the "Order" Configuration
  • Go down to the "Page Sections" section and click the radio button next to "Other Information" and click the "Add" button
  • For "Field Display Name" enter "Gift-wrap"
  • For "Field Name Visibility" choose "Display Field Name in Checkout"
  • For "Display This Field" choose "At the Bottom of this Section"
  • For "Field Type" choose "Check Box"
  • Click "Next"
  • After Adding that field, repeat the process for adding the gift message the same, except enter "Gift-message" for the name and "Input Field" for the field type.

After setting up these custom fields, future orders should import into SuperManager with the Gift Message populated.
