If you have embedded checkout enabled, your subscribers can purchase paid subscriptions as gifts for others directly from your subscribe page.
When someone visits your subscribe page, they'll see a checkbox labeled "This is a gift" next to the email address field. When checked, additional fields appear:

|---|---|
| Purchaser's email | The buyer enters their own email address for billing purposes and payment receipts. |
| Recipient's email | A new field appears where the purchaser can enter the email address of the person who will receive the subscription. |
| Gift message | The purchaser can optionally add a personal message that will be included when the recipient is notified about their gift subscription. |
