Free Shipping Bar for Shopify

Motivate shoppers to add more to their cart with a free-shipping goal — here's how it works.

🚧 Coming soon. This feature is on our roadmap and is not available in the app yet. In the meantime, explore the popups you can build today: email, discount, SMS, and lead generation popups.

A free shipping bar is a slim banner — usually pinned to the top of your store — that promotes a free-shipping threshold: "Free shipping on orders over $50." It's one of the simplest ways to raise your average order value.

Why a free shipping bar increases AOV

Shipping cost is a leading reason shoppers abandon carts. A free-shipping bar turns that objection into motivation: when customers see they are only a few dollars away from free delivery, they add another item to qualify. The result is a higher average order value with no extra ad spend.

Best practices for a free shipping bar

  • Set a threshold slightly above your average order value.
  • Show a clear progress message ("You're $8 away from free shipping!").
  • Keep it visible sitewide, including on cart and product pages.
  • Match the bar to your brand colours so it looks native.
