How to Add Recipients to a Live Surprise Order Using the "Upload Later" Option on Snackmagic

Need more time to collect your recipients' shipping details? No worries!

With Snackmagic's Upload Later option, you can place your Surprise Order without having all your recipient information ready. Once you have the details, you can return to your live order and add recipients either manually or by uploading a CSV or Excel file.

This is especially useful for team events, employee gifting, and other orders where recipient information may become available after the order has been placed.

📍 Enter Addresses Manually or Upload via CSV

You can add recipient information in two ways:

  • Option 1: Enter recipients directly

  • Option 2: Upload a CSV or Excel file

✍️ Option 1: Add Recipients Manually

If you're adding only a few recipients, entering their information directly may be the quickest option.

  1. In the Add Address pop-up window, enter the recipient's details.

  2. To add another recipient, click + Add New Row.

  3. Enter the following information for each recipient:

    • Email address

    • Recipient name

    • Shipping address

    • Contact number

    • Dietary restrictions

  4. When you're finished, click SAVE.

🎉 Sending a Surprise?

If you don't want to use the recipient's actual email address, you can enter a dummy email address instead.

📞 Important: A phone number is required so the courier can contact the recipient if there are any issues with the delivery or if the package needs to be picked up from a designated pickup location.

📄 Option 2: Upload a CSV or Excel File

If you're adding multiple recipients, uploading a file can be faster and easier.
​

Important: Uploading a CSV or Excel file will replace any recipient addresses you have already entered in the Add Addresses section.

1. 🌎 Select the Recipient Type

  • Choose whether you want to upload the US & Canada Recipients or the International Recipients.

  • Click the ADD ADDRESSES button.
    ​

2. 📥 Download the Template

  • Click Download Template to download the CSV template.
    ​

3. ✍️ Add Your Recipients’ Information

  • Enter each recipient’s information in the appropriate columns of the template.

Important: Complete all columns for each recipient to help prevent errors when uploading your file.

4. ⬆️ Upload Your Completed File

  • Return to the Add Addresses screen and click Upload CSV or Excel File to upload your completed file.

5. ✅ Continue to the Next Step

Once your recipients have been added successfully, click Save & Continue to proceed.
​

✅ Confirm Your Recipient Upload

  • After your recipients have been successfully added, check the status in your Treats Dashboard.

  • The status should change to PROCESSED once the addresses have been successfully uploaded.

  • If you need to add more recipients later, you can return to the Add Addresses section and repeat the process.


✨ Quick Tip:

  • You don't need to wait until you have every recipient's information.

    You can add recipients in batches as their shipping details become available.

  • Simply return to your live Surprise Order and use the Add Addresses section to add the next group of recipients.

  • This makes it easier to keep your order moving without waiting for the entire recipient list to be finalized.
