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

Learn how to add recipients to a live Snackmagic Surprise Order using Upload Later, either manually or by uploading a CSV or Excel file.

Use the Upload Later option to place a Surprise Order before you have all recipient details. Once the information is ready, return to your live order and add recipient addresses manually or in bulk using a CSV or Excel file.

This option is useful for team events, employee gifting, and orders where recipient information becomes available after checkout.

✍️ 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.
