Drop a Hint
Gift hints that sell Heels
The Shopify wishlist-gifting app for heels merchants — let shoppers share what they want, then convert the people who buy for them.
Why it fits
Built for shoes gift intent
Heels catalogs thrive when purchase intent is social. Drop a Hint lets customers send product hints by email, SMS, and more, turning quiet wishlist energy into tracked referrals. If your assortment is built around footwear shoppers want gifted without the awkward ask, this is the conversion layer between “I love this” and “someone just bought it for me.”
