Description
“Add $12.50 more to unlock free shipping.” Nothing nudges an order over
the line like showing shoppers how close they are — and this bar does it
with zero configuration, because it reads the free-shipping rules
your store already has.
- Your store’s rules are the single source of truth. The bar finds
the Free shipping method (with a minimum order amount) in the shipping
zone WooCommerce itself matches for the cart — it never re-implements
zone matching, so it can never disagree with your checkout. - Honest math. The cart is measured exactly the way WooCommerce’s own
free-shipping check measures it: discounts subtracted (unless your rule
ignores them), tax-display aware. - A congratulations state the moment free shipping unlocks.
- Shows on the cart page and shop pages, each toggleable on one small
settings screen (WooCommerce Free Shipping Bar). - No free-shipping rule? No nag. The bar stays hidden and the
settings screen explains where a rule is added. - Lightweight by design: no JavaScript, one small stylesheet, one option.

FAQ
The bar does not appear — why?
The bar appears once a shipping zone has an enabled Free shipping method whose requirement is A minimum order amount. The settings screen (WooCommerce Free Shipping Bar) tells you when no such rule exists and links to where one is added.
My free shipping requires a coupon
Coupon-based rules (“A valid free shipping coupon”, “either”, “both”) are supported by the full edition; this edition reads minimum-amount rules.
Does it slow my store down?
No. It renders on the server with the page, loads one small stylesheet and no JavaScript, and does nothing at all on pages it does not show on.
