How it sells itself

Stop giving away Free Shipping! Instead, start using the 'Free Shipping bar' progress bar which boosts your sales. Because when customers see "You're only $20 away from Free Shipping!", they actually spend these extra $20 (or even more). To make more money, just give them a cart goal value (e.g., $50) and a sweet award when they reach this amount (free shipping, discount code, or anything else).

Zuper Free Shipping Bar shows a live progress bar that tells shoppers exactly how much more they need to spend for free shipping. The bar updates the moment the cart changes and plays an unlock animation when the goal is reached. Set the threshold by cart value, item count or products, pick Classic or Glow style, and match your brand colors and copy. Show it on product pages, the cart and cart drawers.

Key points
  • Placed Anywhere: product page, cart page, cart drawer, or as an announcement bar
  • Boosts Average Order Value: add product upsells, cross-sells & cart upsell.
  • Revenue-Oriented: track additional revenue generated by free shipping bar.
  • Highly Customisable: customise cart goal progress bar or use pre-made styles.
  • Automatic Free Shipping
  • Custom Free shipping conditions
  • Dynamic Progress Bar
  • Real-Time Cart Updates
