Show a free shipping progress bar ​

This guide describes how to display a free shipping progress bar.

The free shipping progress bar displays an indicator that tracks a customer's order amount against your store's "qualify for free shipping threshold". You specify the threshold in Theme Settings > Cart > Free shipping threshold. After the customer's order amount exceeds the specified threshold, the customer's order qualifies for free shipping.

Set up the free shipping bar to display in your store's Cart. Refer to Enable the free shipping bar in your store's cart.

Alternatively, display a free shipping bar section in the Header area of any page, except Checkout, Gift card, and Password pages. Refer to Add a free shipping bar section to a page's header area.

Free shipping threshold across markets ​

You can set a single free shipping threshold for your entire store. However, if you use Shopify markets, you might need to set a different threshold for each market. The easiest way to set a specific threshold for each market is to use Metafields. Refer to Shopify help: Metafields.

After you set up a suitable Metafield, you can easily adjust your shipping thresholds per market. To set up a Metafield for free shipping thresholds, refer to Create a Metafield.

Create a metafield ​

1. In your store's Shopify admin, navigate to Settings > Custom Data.

2. On the Metafields pane, select Markets.

3. On the Market metafield definitions page, select Add definition.

4. In the Name field, enter Free shipping threshold.

5. In the Namespace and key field, enter switch.free_shipping_threshold.

6. Choose Select type, set the metafield type to Single line text, and then choose List of values.

7. Optional: On the Validations pane, in the Regular expression field, enter ^[A-Z]*\:?[0-9.]+$.

8. Confirm that your metafield definition is similar to the definition in following image.

   

9. Select Save.

Set a threshold value for each market ​

To set a threshold value for each market, complete the following steps.

1. In your store's Shopify admin, navigate to Settings > Markets.

2. On the Market page, select a market to customize.

3. On the Market settings pane, select Metafields.

4. In the Free shipping threshold field, enter a threshold value, and then select Save.

   The following image shows an example metafield definition with a free shipping threshold value of 50 (dollars) for the United States market.

   

   To specify a threshold for a particular country within a market, add a new item. Enter the country's 2-letter ISO code, followed by a colon, and then enter a number to represent the threshold value. For example, FR:40 sets the threshold value at 40 for France.

   The following image shows an example metafield definition for the Eurozone market with multiple countries. The definition includes a specific threshold value for each country.
