All themes - Theme settings - Display a free shipping bar

With Safe As Milk themes you have the ability to display a free shipping bar in your store. A free shipping bar is designed to encourage shoppers to add more items to their cart and reach an enticing free shipping threshold. It's a proven strategy to help increase the AOV (Average Order Value) of your store.

The bar can be displayed in the following areas:

• In the cart drawer and on the cart page
• On the product page

It is also possible to set up individual minimum purchase amount per market - which we will outline towards the end of this article.

Add a shipping bar to the cart drawer and cart page

1. Head to the Online store > Themes section of your store admin
2. Click the Customize button next to the theme you wish to edit
3. Once the theme editor is open click on Theme settings (cog icon) in the top left of the editor
4. Click on the Free shipping bar accordion/section in the left hand menu
5. Here you can set up your free shipping minimum spend (matching the free shipping rate you have set up in the admin)
6. You can also choose an icon, text alignment, an animation on target completion and the color of your shipping bar (solid or gradient)
7. In order to display the shipping bar in both the cart drawer and cart page click on the Cart area of the theme settings and check the Enable free shipping bar checkbox
