A detailed look at how Free Shipping Bar — Progress bar and per-country thresholds for PrestaShop works, why we built it the way we did, and the thinking behind the features above.
Free shipping, the #1 average-basket lever
According to Statista and Salecycle studies, the "free shipping above X" argument is the lever that most increases average basket in e-commerce — more effective than a 5% discount, more effective than a free gift. Provided it is communicated at the right moment. The progress bar precisely answers this need: the customer permanently sees how much they have left to add to reach the threshold.
Why per-country thresholds
Your real shipping costs vary enormously by country: Colissimo France, Mondial Relay Belgium, DPD Switzerland, FedEx International. A single "free shipping at €50" threshold can be profitable for France and catastrophic for Switzerland. Our module allows a specific threshold per country with a default threshold for unconfigured countries. Each country sees the bar adapted to its real costs.
Real-time update
The bar updates automatically when the customer: adds a product (with or without variation), changes a quantity, removes a product, changes shipping country. All without page reload — important on mobile where each reload costs 200ms and breaks the buying rhythm. The bar percentage animates smoothly to the new value.
Two placements for two functions
Global banner (top of page): visible everywhere, even on the product page, which reminds the customer they can reach free shipping. Cart page: visible at the key decision moment, just before checkout. You can enable both (maximum coverage), one only (discreet reminder), or neither (other promotion modules).
Customisation and integration
The render uses four configurable colors (background, bar, text, success message) to integrate with your design guidelines. The message is translatable in all active languages. On mobile, the bar automatically switches to full width. Multistore compatibility is native: each sub-store has its own configuration.
