How to configure Free Shipping bar?

The Free Shipping Bar is a notification bar displayed in the Cart / Cart Drawer, showing how much more customers need to spend to qualify for free shipping. The amount updates automatically based on the cart total to encourage higher order values.

1. Configure Free Shipping Rate in Shopify

Go to:
Shopify Admin → Settings → Shipping and delivery

  • Select the Shipping profile you are using.

  • Add a rate or edit an existing one.

  • Set:

    • Price: 0 (Free)

    • Condition: Based on order price

    • Minimum order price: Enter the amount required for free shipping (for example: $100)

This amount must match the metafield value used in the theme.

2. Create and Assign the metafield

Go to:
Settings → Metafields and metaobjects → Products

  • Namespace & key: theme.shipping_money

  • Type: Money

Then:

  • Select one product only.

  • Enter the same free shipping minimum amount.

This product is used only to define the free shipping threshold.

3. Connect the Product to Free Shipping Bar in Theme

Go to Theme Editor:

Cart / Cart Drawer → Scroll to Theme Settings → Click Product

  • Choose the product that has the theme.shipping_money metafield assigned

On Cart Page

You can also select any existing product whose product price already matches the free shipping minimum amount.

4. Customize Free Shipping Bar Text

Go to:
Online Store → Themes → … → Edit default theme content

Navigate to:

  • Cart → Free shipping bar
