# Add a Free Shipping Bar (for Shopify Plus only)

A **Free Shipping Bar** (or Reward Bar) helps increase your **conversion rate** and **average order value** by encouraging customers to spend more to unlock free shipping at checkout. You can now also control **when** the bar appears using conditions — so it shows only to the customers, carts, or markets you want.
> **Note:** The Free Shipping Bar is available on **Shopify Plus** only.
## When to use conditions
By default the bar can show to everyone, but conditions let you target it so the message lands where it matters most:
* **Threshold-based markets:** Show the bar only in countries where you actually offer free shipping.
* **Customer segments:** Display it only to new customers, or only to a specific customer group.
* **Cart-based targeting:** Show it only when the cart contains certain products or reaches a certain value.
If you want the bar to behave exactly as before — visible to all customers — simply leave it set to **Always**.
## Prerequisites
Before setting up the Free Shipping Bar, make sure you have a **Free Shipping Discount** available:
* **Set up a Free Shipping Discount in Blockify:** Go to **Shipping Rule > Shipping Discount** in the **Blockify: Checkout Rules** app and create a new discount.
* **Apply a Shopify Native Discount (if discounting the entire order):** You can create a discount directly in your Shopify Admin. Follow [this guide](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/discounts) for setup.

**Step 3:** Set a name for internal reference.
**Step 4:** Enter the **Min Order Value (Spending threshold)** customers need to reach to unlock free shipping.
**Step 5:** Choose when the bar should appear:
* **Always** — the bar is shown to every customer at checkout.
* **Specific condition** — the bar is shown only when your conditions are met.

**Step 6:** If you chose **Specific condition**, click **Add condition** and select the conditions you want (for example, country, customer, or cart value). You can add multiple conditions and combine them with **AND** / **OR** logic — the same way conditions work for other checkout components like Trust Badge and Image Banner.
**Step 7:** Click **Save Condition**, then select **Go to Checkout Editor** to customize the appearance of the progress bar.

## FAQ
**Q: Can I use the Free Shipping Bar on plans other than Plus?** A: No. The Free Shipping Bar is available on **Shopify Plus** only.
**Q: What happens to Free Shipping Bars I created before conditions were added?** A: They keep working exactly as before. Existing bars are automatically set to **Always**, so they continue to show to all customers. You can open any bar and switch it to **Specific condition** whenever you like.
**Q: What does the customer see if my conditions aren't met?** A: The bar is hidden entirely for that customer. The rest of the checkout page is not affected.
**Q: Do conditions change how the spending threshold is calculated?** A: No. Conditions only decide whether the bar is shown. The free shipping progress and threshold are calculated the same way as before.
