Display messages with progressive free shipping goals when customers add more items to the cart, motivate customers to buy more and increase average order value
Free Shipping Bar displays progressive messages when customers put more items in their shopping carts, and lets them know how much more to buy in order to get your free shipping. This increases average order value and boosts sales. The bar is fully customizable with advanced targeting options including geo location, Shopify markets, customer, page, product, etc. You can have multiple free shipping offers for different countries, customers, and optimize the sales.

There is a free plan, but it comes with real limitations. It allows only one active bar and includes basic customization, device targeting, page targeting, and emoji support. However, third-party sources note the free plan caps display at 25 'active views,' meaning the bar can stop showing to visitors quickly on any store with meaningful traffic — effectively making the Premium plan ($9.99/month or $99/year) necessary for most live stores. The Premium plan adds unlimited active bars, geo-targeting, auto currency conversion, scheduling, background images, and performance tracking.
Merchants consistently report that the app does not noticeably impact loading times. It holds the 'Built for Shopify' badge, meaning it meets Shopify's highest standards for performance, design, and integration. Multiple reviews specifically call out that the app is 'low maintenance' and runs without causing disruptions to the storefront.
Setup is designed to be no-code and takes just a few minutes — merchants of all technical levels report getting the bar live quickly by enabling an app embed in Shopify. The bar supports all pages of a Shopify store. Rare reports of minor visual mismatches with certain themes exist, but the support team can assist with adjustments without requiring a developer.
Yes, this is one of the app's standout features. On the Premium plan, the app auto-detects visitors' local currencies and converts the free shipping amount using real-time exchange rates. You can also set different free shipping thresholds by country using geo-targeting and Shopify Markets — for example, 'Free shipping over $50' for US shoppers and 'Free shipping over C$70' for Canadian shoppers.
The app offers advanced targeting options even on the free plan (device and page targeting). The Premium plan expands this to geo-location, Shopify Markets, customer segments, specific products, and scheduling. You can also exclude the bar from specific pages. Checkout page display is available only to Shopify Plus merchants, as that access is controlled by Shopify.
Support is consistently highlighted as a strong point, with merchants describing the team as responsive, patient, and technically capable. Hextom advertises 24/7 support staffed by support engineers rather than a call center. One commonly cited example involves a support agent named Ingrid who reviewed a merchant's setup, explained the issue, and rebuilt the bar correctly — going beyond just answering questions.
Yes — scheduling is a Premium plan feature that lets you plan free shipping promotions in advance for specific events like Black Friday or seasonal sales. The app also includes A/B testing and performance tracking capabilities on the Premium plan, so you can monitor which free shipping goals drive the most sales and optimize accordingly.
