Shopify can give shipping away on its own. A free shipping discount, automatic or code-based, fires on a minimum purchase amount, a minimum number of items, the customer's country or who the customer is, and a conditional shipping rate can key off exactly two things: the order total or its weight. What none of that can do is tell the shopper about it. The cart object a theme reads carries no shipping rate and no shipping cost, only the item total and whether the order needs shipping at all, so the storefront has nothing to count down from.

That splits this category in two. Most of these apps are the countdown: a bar in the cart, the drawer or across the top of the page showing what is still missing, usually with product recommendations attached so the gap can be closed. A smaller group replaces the rule itself, adding the conditions the native discount has never had, such as by product, collection, weight band, customer segment or a named shipping rate.

What to look for in a Progress Bar app

What the bar is counting down from: Because the storefront cannot see your real shipping rules, the threshold the bar displays is normally a number you type into the app, separate from the discount that actually grants the free shipping. Nothing keeps the two in step. Raise the discount to a higher amount and the bar will happily keep promising the old one, so prefer an app that reads the live rule over one that just stores a figure.
Where it is allowed to appear: The cart page, the cart drawer, the product page and a site-wide bar are four different pieces of theme surface, and an app that only covers some of them will miss the moment that matters for your layout. If your cart is a drawer rather than a page, confirm that specifically.
More than one currency or country: A threshold is a sum of money, so a store selling into several markets needs it per market rather than converted at whatever rate the app happens to pick. The native discount can already vary by country; check the bar can follow it, and that the message itself translates.
What you already give away: Shipping discounts are the least combinable kind Shopify has: two of them cannot stack, and a shopper can hold several product or order codes at once but only one for shipping. If you already run a shipping promotion, an app that creates its own discount is competing with it rather than adding to it.

What does the Built for Shopify badge mean?

Built for Shopify
Built for Shopify is the highest level of recognition Shopify awards an app. To earn the badge, an app must meet Shopify's standards for safety, performance, ease of use, and proven usefulness: it cannot slow down the admin, storefront, or checkout, must integrate seamlessly into the Shopify admin, and must demonstrate quality through installs, reviews, and ratings over time. When comparing similar apps, preferring ones with the badge is a safe default. Learn more about the Built for Shopify badge →
