About this plugin
Shipping Threshold Bar for WooCommerce helps store owners motivate shoppers to add more items to their cart by showing a clear free shipping progress bar. The bar displays how much more a customer needs to spend to unlock free shipping, updates with the cart, and can be shown in key shopping locations across your WooCommerce store.
Use it to promote your free shipping threshold, reduce cart abandonment, and encourage higher average order value with a lightweight, customizable WooCommerce shipping bar.
