Gatemi Free Shipping Bar shows shoppers a live progress bar toward your store's free-shipping minimum: *"Add $12.50 more to unlock free shipping."* Nothing converts a hesitant cart like an almost-unlocked reward.
It is right with no configuration. The bar reads the Free shipping methods you already configured in WooCommerce's shipping zones — the minimum amount, the "ignore discounts" toggle, and the coupon requirements — and measures the cart with the exact same math WooCommerce itself uses to grant free shipping. Set up a free-shipping rule, activate the plugin, done. If your store offers no free shipping, the bar simply never appears; it will not nag your shoppers about a reward that doesn't exist.
Features
- Live progress bar on shop pages, the cart, the mini-cart and checkout — each placement can be switched off
- Updates instantly when products are added to the cart (AJAX cart fragments), and renders fine without JavaScript
- Zone-aware: shows the minimum that actually applies to the shopper's shipping destination
- Correct with coupons: understands the "minimum order OR coupon", "AND coupon", and "coupon only" free-shipping modes, and respects "ignore discounts"
- A congratulations state the moment free shipping is unlocked
- Your wording, your colors — with a live preview on the settings screen
- A Free Shipping Bar block for manual placement in the editor, plus the
[gatemi_free_shipping_bar]shortcode; a page holding either is skipped by the automatic display - Accessible (polite live region), right-to-left ready, respects reduced-motion preferences
- Lightweight by design: a few KB of hand-written CSS and JavaScript, no frameworks, no webfonts, no ads
- HPOS and Cart/Checkout Blocks compatible
For developers
Every behavior beyond the settings is a default with a filter beside it — the filters are listed right on the settings screen. The bar's colors are CSS custom properties, so a theme can restyle everything in its own stylesheet.
Every license includes
- One year of updates and priority support, delivered straight to your WordPress dashboard.
- Use on 1, 5 or 25 sites depending on your license — local, staging and development sites are always free.
- 30-day money-back guarantee — full refund, no questions asked.
- Keeps working after expiry — if you choose not to renew, the plugin keeps running exactly as installed; it simply stops receiving updates and support until you do.
Requires WordPress 6.4+ · PHP 7.4+ · tested up to WordPress 7.0. Works with the classic and block checkout alike.

Cheap for what it does. Free Shipping Bar still does exactly what it did on day one. Sound purchase.

Slightly more setup than I expected, but it holds. Free Shipping Bar sits fine alongside my other plugins. Would recommend with the small caveat above.

Live on the shop within the hour. Does everything I wanted.

I’d a very specific problem and this was the answer to it. Free Shipping Bar plays nicely with the rest of my plugins. Nothing to fault.

It behaved properly the first time I did something silly with it. I’ve had Free Shipping Bar on a busy shop for a full season. Nothing I’d change.
