Drop a Hint
Turn E Readers browsers into gifters
The Shopify wishlist-gifting app for e readers merchants — let shoppers share what they want, then convert the people who buy for them.
Why it fits
Built for electronics gift intent
Drop a Hint is built for Shopify brands where gifting already drives revenue. In e readers, that often means tech gifts people research hard — then quietly hint. Give shoppers a frictionless hint flow, keep your branding intact, and measure which products get shared — then stock and promote what actually converts.

- Offer a 7-day risk-free trial while you validate gift conversion

Do gifters need an account?
Gifters follow the product link from the hint and check out like any Shopify customer. The goal is fewer steps between “they asked for this” and a completed order.
