Free shipping bar
This guide describes setting up the Free shipping bar section.
Use the section to display an indicator that tracks a customer's order amount against your store's free shipping threshold. You specify the threshold in Theme Settings > Cart > Free shipping threshold. After the customer's order amount exceeds the specified threshold, their order qualifies for free shipping.
The previous video shows a Free shipping bar section on a store's product page. At the top of the page, the section displays the text "Spend $50.00 to get free shipping". After the customer adds a product priced at $39.99 to the cart, the section's text updates to "Spend $10.01 and get free shipping".
For general guidance with modifying sections, refer to Sections overview, and Shopify help: Sections and blocks.
