Free Shipping Bar

The Free Shipping Bar shows customers how close they are to qualifying for free shipping. It’s a simple but effective way to increase average order value as customers often add another item just to unlock free delivery.

1. Go to Free Shipping Bar in the app.
2. Configure display settings (see below).
3. Add Display Rules if needed.
4. Click Save.
5. In the Shopify checkout editor, add the Free shipping bar block to the checkout page.

Display settings

Setting	Description
Status	Enable or disable the bar
Threshold type	Order total, Order weight, or Total cart items
Threshold amount	The minimum value to unlock free shipping. For Order total: currency amount (e.g. 50). For Order weight: weight in your store’s default unit (e.g. 2). For Total cart items: number of items (e.g. 3).
Message (before unlocked)	Text shown before the threshold is reached
Message (after unlocked)	Text shown once the threshold is met
Show progress bar	Display the visual progress bar
Recommended products	Toggle to show product suggestions below the bar
Recommended products list	Products to offer (only shown if price ≤ remaining threshold)
Conditions	Only show bar when cart matches conditions

Use {amount} in the “before” message. The extension replaces it with the exact amount remaining — currency for Order total (e.g. $12.50), weight for Order weight (e.g. 1.2 kg), or item count for Total cart items (e.g. 2 items).

Notes

• When Recommended products is on but no products are selected, the recommendation section will not appear in the extension.
• Threshold type Order total uses the store’s default currency.
• Threshold type Order weight uses the store’s default weight unit.
• Threshold type Total cart items counts the total number of items (quantity) in the cart.
• Works on checkout page only.

Use cases

Scenario	Conditions to set
Show bar to all customers (most common)	No conditions
Show only when customer has not yet qualified	Cart total is less than threshold (built-in, the bar handles this automatically)
Show only for domestic customers (free shipping not available internationally)	Country is your domestic country

Best practices

• Match the threshold exactly to your free shipping offer in Shopify’s shipping settings. A mismatch confuses customers.
• Use {amount} in the before-unlock message: “Add {amount} more to get free shipping!” is more compelling than a static message.
• Add 2–3 low-cost recommended products below the bar. Items priced just under the remaining amount work best.
• Update the threshold if you change your free shipping policy in Shopify as they are not linked automatically.
• A/B test threshold levels (e.g. $50 vs $75) using conditions to show different configurations to different cart segments.
