See it in action Order goal bar promotion
On this page
An order goal bar is an Order goal with no upsell offer: shoppers see the progress bar, but no product suggestions under it. It gives money off the order when the cart reaches a total.
At a glance
| Gallery group | Promotions with storefront widgets |
| Discount | Money off the order at cart totals. Default: 5% off from 50, 10% off from 100 and 15% off from 200, in your store currency. |
| Theme block | AndOr Order goal, on the cart page or a product page |
| Upsell offer | None. For product suggestions under the bar, use Order goal. |
| 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 your cart totals and the reward at each one.
- Turn on the app embed if you want the bar in the cart drawer. See Install and turn on the app embed. For what works without it, see the app embed table.
Set it up in the app
-
Open Promotions, click Create promotion, then click Choose on the Order goal bar card.
It is under Promotions with storefront widgets.
-
Set the tiers in the Discount section.
The page starts with three tiers: 5% off from 50, 10% off from 100 and 15% off from 200, in your store currency.
-
Check the Storefront widgets section.
Show storefront widgets is on by default. Leave it on.
-
Set the dates in Schedule and status, then click Make it live.
Or click Save as draft to finish later.
Add it to your theme
Note What’s next appears 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.
-
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, where shoppers watch their total.
-
Drag the block above the cart lines or above the checkout button, then click Save.
-
For the cart drawer, turn on Also show in the cart drawer.
Add the block to a product page too, and turn on Also show in the cart drawer there. The drawer copy shows only on pages where the block is placed. It needs the app embed and a theme that sends Shopify’s storefront cart events, like Horizon 4.0+ or Dawn 15.5+. See Theme requirements.
All block settings are on the Goal bar widget page.
Check it on your store
-
Under What’s next, click View on store.
It opens your store in a new tab. Add a product to the cart and open the cart. You see how far the cart is from the next reward, for example “You’re $20.00 away from 10% off your order”.
-
Add more until you pass a total, then go to checkout.
The bar shows the reward as reached, and the discount comes off at checkout.
Not showing?
- The block is not in your theme, or you didn’t click Save in the theme editor.
- The discount is not running yet. Check its dates.
- The discount needs a code, or only some products count toward the total.
- The drawer copy is missing: turn on Also show in the cart drawer on a block on that page, and turn on the app embed.
- JavaScript is off in the shopper’s browser.
