Premium Drop a Hint

Overview

Premium Drop a Hint adds a "drop a hint" button to your Shopify product pages. A shopper who isn't ready to buy for themselves can send a beautifully styled email to a friend or partner — and when that recipient comes back and converts, the sale is attributed to the original hint. It's a low-friction word-of-mouth channel for gift-heavy stores that want to capture intent that would otherwise walk away.

Features

• Native product-page widget — installed as a theme app block, so merchants drop it into their product template with one click. No theme code edits.
• Fully customizable email template — drag-and-drop block editor (header, product, CTA, custom HTML, divider, etc.) with per-block fonts, colors, and copy. Live preview while you edit.
• End-to-end attribution — every hint mints a unique token that's carried through the recipient's click, into the cart line item, and matched against orders/create to flip the hint to "converted" with order value.
• Click + conversion analytics — IndexTable of every hint sent, plus stat cards for sent / clicked / converted / revenue across custom date ranges.
• Klaviyo sync (optional) — push hint senders and recipients into a Klaviyo list to fold them into your existing flows.
• One-click unsubscribe + opt-out list — recipients who unsubscribe are honored across every shop using the app.

Who it's for

Mid-market Shopify merchants in gift-driven categories — jewelry, fragrance, fashion, home goods, anything where a meaningful share of buyers are shopping for someone else. The widget adds the most value for stores doing $50k–$5M/yr in DTC revenue, where capturing even a small slice of "I'd love this but won't buy it for myself" intent measurably moves the needle. Smaller shops on Basic Shopify benefit from the lowest-tier plan; large brands get the bulk overage rate and Klaviyo integration.

How it works

1. Install from the Shopify App Store and pick a plan (14-day free trial on every tier).
2. Add the app block to your product template from the theme editor — the install banner deep-links you straight there.
3. Customize the email in the admin: rearrange blocks, set fonts and brand colors, tweak the copy, and preview it live.
4. Go live. Shoppers see a "Drop a Hint" button on every product page; the rest happens automatically — sending, click tracking, and conversion attribution.

Setup typically takes under five minutes and requires no code or developer.

What makes it different

Most "share this product" or "wishlist" apps stop at delivery — they send the email and call it done. Premium Drop a Hint closes the loop: every hint carries a token through the click, into the cart line item as a property, and out to the order webhook, so you can see which hints actually drove revenue. That's the difference between a feel-good feature and a measurable channel.

The email itself is also a step above the category. Instead of a single hardcoded layout, merchants get a real block editor with font and color controls, custom HTML support, and a true WYSIWYG preview that uses the same renderer as the production send path — so what you see in the editor is what your recipient gets in their inbox. Combined with usage-based pricing that scales with your volume rather than punishing growth, it's built for stores that take this channel seriously.
