# Free shipping goal promotion (free shipping bar) > Give free shipping when the cart reaches a total, show a free shipping progress bar, and suggest products that get shoppers there. Source: https://backtrackhq.com/docs/promotions/free-shipping-goal/ (Screenshot: A free shipping bar in the cart showing how much more to add for free shipping) A free shipping goal gives free shipping when the cart reaches a total, for example on carts over 75. A free shipping progress bar shows how much more to spend, with products that get shoppers there. ## At a glance | | | | --- | --- | | **Gallery group** | Promotions with an upsell offer | | **Discount** | Free shipping once the cart subtotal reaches an amount. Default: 75, in your store currency. | | **Theme block** | **AndOr Order goal**, on the cart page or the product page | | **Upsell offer** | **Goal suggestions**, on the **Product page**, **Cart page** and **Cart drawer** | | **What the app embed adds** | Your brand color, the parts in the cart drawer (if any), shared look settings and your Storefront text. The block shows without it. | ## Before you start - Decide the amount. Nothing needs picking. - Turn on the app embed once. See [Turn on the app embed](https://backtrackhq.com/docs/get-started/install/#turn-on-the-app-embed). For what works without it, see [the app embed table](https://backtrackhq.com/docs/widgets/app-embed/#what-works-without-the-app-embed). ## Set it up in the app 1. **Open Promotions, click Create promotion, then click Choose on the Free shipping goal card.** It is under **Promotions with an upsell offer**. The card says "Free shipping when the cart reaches a total. Shows a progress bar." (Screenshot: The promotion gallery with the Free shipping goal card and its Choose button) 2. **Set the amount in the Discount section.** Set **Free shipping when the cart reaches**. The page starts at 75. (Screenshot: The Discount section of a free shipping goal) 3. **Check the Storefront widgets section.** **Show storefront widgets** is on. 4. **Write the upsell message and pick where it shows.** **Add an upsell offer** is on. Edit the **Message**. Under **Where it shows**, tick **Product page**, **Cart page** or **Cart drawer**. The suggested products start as **Shopify recommendations**. To change them, edit the offer on the **Upsell offers** page after you save. See [Products to suggest](https://backtrackhq.com/docs/offers/message-and-placements/#products-to-suggest). (Screenshot: The Storefront widgets and Upsell offer sections of a free shipping goal promotion) 5. **Set the dates in Schedule and status, then click Make it live.** Or click **Save as draft** to finish later. (Screenshot: The Schedule and status section with the Make it live button) ## Add it to your theme **What's next** shows on the promotion page after you click **Make it live**, not after **Save as draft**. It goes away when you dismiss it or leave the page. No What's next panel? Open **Promotions**. In the row's **Storefront widgets** column, click **Add block**. It shows when the block isn't in your theme yet. 1. **Under What's next, click Open theme editor.** **Add the widget to your theme** names the **AndOr Order goal** block. The link opens your cart page with the block added at the bottom of the section. 2. **Drag the block above the cart lines, then click Save.** (Screenshot: The theme editor cart page with the AndOr Order goal block selected and the bar saying You're $75.00 away from free shipping) 3. **For the cart drawer, add the block to a product page too.** In the theme editor, open a product template, click **Add block**, choose **Apps**, then **AndOr Order goal**. Turn on its **Also show in the cart drawer** setting and click **Save**. It needs a theme that sends Shopify's storefront cart events, like Horizon 4.0+ or Dawn 15.5+. See [Theme requirements](https://backtrackhq.com/docs/get-started/theme-requirements/). The bar in the cart drawer also needs the app embed. See [Turn on the app embed](https://backtrackhq.com/docs/get-started/install/#turn-on-the-app-embed). The block has its own free shipping messages. See [Goal bar block settings](https://backtrackhq.com/docs/widgets/goal-bar/#block-settings). > **Tip:** Already have an [order goal](https://backtrackhq.com/docs/promotions/order-goal/)? > If the two discounts combine, both show on the same bar, and one > **AndOr Order goal** block is enough. ## Check it on your store 1. **Under What's next, click View on store.** It opens your store, or a product or collection from this discount if you picked one. Open your cart, add items and watch the bar fill. 2. **Under Try it at checkout, click Open store.** Add items that qualify, then check out. If you picked specific variants, the button is **Open cart** and opens a cart with one of them. Reach the amount and check that shipping is free at checkout. **Not showing?** - The block is not on the cart or product template, or you did not click **Save**. - **Show storefront widgets** is off, or the discount is a draft or outside its dates. - Another shipping discount also applies. Only one can apply per order, so the bar hides this step. The Storefront widgets tab marks it **Hidden from the goal bar**. - No products under the bar: the upsell offer is paused, or the place is not ticked in **Where it shows**. - In the cart drawer only: the app embed or **Also show in the cart drawer** is off. See [Widgets not showing](https://backtrackhq.com/docs/help/widgets-not-showing/) and [What the goal bar needs](https://backtrackhq.com/docs/widgets/goal-bar/#what-it-needs-to-appear). ## Turn the offer on or off To stop the offer for a while, click **Pause offers** in the row's **...** menu on the **Promotions** list, or **Pause** on the **Upsell offers** page. The discount keeps working at checkout. The bar keeps showing, but without suggested products. An order goal and a free shipping goal may share one offer. See [Manage offers](https://backtrackhq.com/docs/offers/manage-offers/). **No offer yet?** In the **Promotions** list, click **Add offer** in the row's **Upsell offer** column. ## Settings and limits | Setting | What it does | Default | | --- | --- | --- | | **Name** | Shown at checkout when the discount has no message. Up to 60 characters, and different from your other discounts' names. | Free shipping goal | | **Free shipping when the cart reaches** | The cart subtotal in your store currency, before shipping and taxes. The goal bar counts toward it. | 75 | | **Combine with** | Which other discounts can apply with this one. | **Product discounts**, **Order discounts** | Limits: - If another shipping discount also applies, only one can apply per order. The goal bar then hides this step. - Free shipping with no minimum has no bar to fill. It shows as a [discount callout](https://backtrackhq.com/docs/widgets/discount-callout/) instead.
