Customization tips:
- Goal amount: This will dynamically change the bar's goal amount.
- Text before reaching goal amount: This text will notify customers that they haven't reached the target yet. You can use "{AMOUNT}" in your sentence to dynamically display the remaining amount. For example: "You need to spend {AMOUNT} more to get our prize!"
- Text after reaching goal amount: This text will inform customers that they've reached their goal.
- Bar color: This is the color of the filled portion of the bar. You can select the appropriate HEX color using this link.
- Bar background color: This is the color of the unfilled portion of the bar, representing the progress towards the goal.
Key Tips
- Use a Slightly Higher Threshold: Set the free shipping minimum slightly above your average order value to encourage bigger purchases.
- A/B Test Messaging: Try different wording to see what converts best.
