I poked around in the forum and all I can find made it appear as if this is only possible if I purchase HikaSerial. Is that the case - do I really have to purchase Hikashop Serial to get this one feature or is there a way using Essential?

It allow to include an image in your email with some data including the serial generated by the system. In your case, you want to display a custom message in the email, does this message would be always the same for all gift certificates ? If so, an override of your email would be easier.

That message would be part of the printout the seller includes when mailing the gift certificate, right?

I poked around in the forum and all I can find made it appear as...")* Hi, At this moment, you require an "item custom field" or an "order custom field". It is a field (an input for most of cases) that the customer can fill in order to specify more information for his order. You can user "order custom field" for a delivery date, you can use "item custom field" for "this product in the order is a gift". The order/items custom fields are features from HikaShop business.
