Order gifts for ham, olive oil and cheese stores
A buyer of ham, olive oil or manchego gets a deal on a good knife, a cooking course or a weekend hotel. AI hides grocery delivery, meal kits and other food stores: they compete for the same basket.
What your customers will see
Gourmet buyers see food as a pleasure and a reason to get together. They're interested in cooking better, buying a good knife or traveling to where the cheese is made.

Gift categories for this niche
What a food lover does after ordering
A buyer of ham and olive oil likes to cook and to host. After paying, they think not about the cart but about eating it all: choosing a knife, slicing, setting the table. Kitchen gear and courses continue exactly that scenario.
Another habit of food lovers is to travel for taste: to a cheesemaker, a fair, a region. That's why trips and tickets to food events work, while meal kits and grocery delivery are hidden by AI: they go after the same food budget.
Example calculation for a gourmet store
Say the store gets 500 orders a month, 10% of buyers pick a gift (50 buyers), and 10% of those follow through (5 buyers), for example by booking a hotel or signing up for a course. The partner payout in this example is €20 per new customer.
5 buyers × €20 = €100, and your 60% is €60. We kept the follow-through rate modest: a trip or a course isn't a one-minute decision. In the example the payout is higher than for subscriptions. Real figures depend on the offers in your block.
How to set up gifts in a gourmet store
Gourmet stores overlap with many categories, so look at the block closely during the first week.
- Check that grocery delivery, meal kits and coffee & tea are hidden: they compete for the basket.
- Keep kitchen gear and courses: a knife and a class help people use your products.
- If you sell cookware and utensils, switch off kitchen & appliances manually.
- Before the holidays, turn on trips and tickets to food events.
- Place a test order with ham and cheese and check the block in the email.

Gourmet food: questions
I sell ham and wine. What changes?
AI will see alcohol in your catalog. The "Wine & alcohol (18+)" category is already off by default, and for your store it will also be marked as overlapping.
Many orders are Christmas gift baskets. Who sees the gifts?
Only the person who paid: on the thank-you page and in the order confirmation email. Nothing goes into the recipient's basket.
Why are meal kits hidden? They don't sell ham.
Kits with food compete for the same food budget. If you consider them safe, turn the category on manually.
Ham sells around the holidays. Do I need to change anything for Christmas?
No, the settings work all year. Before the holidays you can add trips and tickets.
A customer orders from me regularly. Do they get gifts every time?
The block shows after every order, but the partner pays for new customers. If someone is already the partner's customer, there's no payout, so repeat views don't guarantee new income.
Why are coffee & tea hidden if I don't sell them?
AI judges your profile from the catalog and the store type. If you don't have coffee or tea, turn the category on manually in the dashboard.
What does it cost?
Nothing. The plugin is free and advertisers pay. Your store gets 60% of the partner payout for every qualifying customer action: a sign-up, subscription or purchase.
Will customers go to my competitors?
No. The AI analysis hides categories that overlap with your catalog: a shoe store will never show a shoe discount. You can also blocklist any domain.
What data do partners get?
No personal data. Your customer's name, email, address and phone number are never shared with ThanklyClub or with advertisers. Matching uses order product categories, order value range, country and language.
