Lifetime Sticky Bar – Announcement, Notification, Countdown & Coupon Bars

Description

Live demo | Documentation | Support | Get Lifetime Ultra ⭐

Lifetime Sticky Bar turns the edge of your WordPress site into your best-converting space. Announcement, countdown, coupon, email opt-in and WooCommerce free-shipping bars, all from one clean editor with a live preview. Set it up in minutes, publish, and watch the stats.

Pay once. Use it for life. 🚫 No subscriptions. No monthly fees. No phone-home. Your data stays on your own site.

🚫 We hate subscriptions

Most notification-bar plugins rent you the good parts by the month, and the day you stop paying, the features stop working. We do the opposite. The WordPress.org version is a complete, working plugin that stays free forever, and the optional Lifetime Ultra upgrade is a single one-time purchase. Pay once, own it, get updates for the life of the product. No recurring fees, ever.

🎯 Five kinds of bar, one editor

Every bar shares the same live preview, the same targeting and the same stats. Pick a type, drop in your message, publish.

  • 📢 Announcement: a heading, a message and a call-to-action button. The fastest way to say “the sale is on” or “we have moved”.
  • Countdown: an evergreen or fixed-date timer, with your choice of what happens when it hits zero (hide, swap the message, or deactivate the campaign).
  • 🎫 Coupon: show a discount code with one-click copy, or a scratch-to-reveal panel. The code lands on the visitor’s clipboard with no typos.
  • 📬 Email opt-in: collect subscribers straight into your dashboard and export them to CSV. No third-party account, and nothing leaves your site.
  • 🚚 WooCommerce free shipping: a live “you are $X away from free shipping” meter that updates as the cart changes. A proven nudge toward a bigger order.

📍 Five placements

Show your bar at the top, bottom, left rail, right rail, or as a floating box in the corner. Sticky or static, your call.

💪 What you get, free

  • All five bar types and all five placements.
  • A visual editor with a live preview, no code required.
  • Design controls: colors, gradients, self-hosted fonts, button styles and entrance animations.
  • Targeting by page rules, by device (desktop or mobile), and by display frequency (every visit, once a session, or once ever).
  • Ready-made templates across sales, seasonal, leads and shipping.
  • Email opt-ins collected in your dashboard with one-click CSV export.
  • Built-in stats: views, clicks and conversions per bar, plus a performance chart on the dashboard. You choose what counts as a conversion.
  • Quick Actions: tweak position, height and background live on the front of your site (admins only).
  • Fully translatable, with support for both LTR and RTL layouts.

🔒 Private by design

No phone-home. No visitor tracking. No license check on the free version. Fonts and every third-party library are bundled locally, so no request ever goes to Google or to us. Your subscriber list lives in your own WordPress database, exportable to CSV whenever you want. Optional Google Analytics 4 events are events-only and fire only when analytics consent is granted, so the plugin is friendly to your GDPR setup out of the box.

⭐ Lifetime Ultra, a one-time upgrade

Love the free plugin and want the full toolkit? Ultra is a single one-time purchase. Pay once, no subscription, ever:

  • Premium template library, including holiday and seasonal collections.
  • Animated backgrounds and atmosphere effects.
  • Animated “magic” borders.
  • Multi-message rotating bars.
  • A floating video bubble.
  • Email marketing integrations (Mailchimp and more).
  • An AI copywriter for headlines and offers.

Ultra is distributed from lifetimeplugins.com, not from WordPress.org.

🌍 Works with your setup

Bars render on the front end, independently of your theme, so they work with any WordPress theme and any page builder, including the block editor, Elementor, Divi and others. If you run WooCommerce, the free-shipping meter reads your live cart.

FAQ

Is the free version really free?

Yes. The WordPress.org version is a complete, working plugin, not a time-limited trial. It stays free forever. If you ever want the extras, Ultra is a one-time purchase with no recurring fees.

Do you charge a monthly subscription?

No. We hate subscriptions. The free plugin is free forever, and Ultra is a single one-time payment. Pay once, keep it for life, updates included.

Will it affect my page load?

The plugin loads only its own lightweight assets, and only on pages that actually show a bar. Fonts and libraries are bundled locally, so there are no external requests.

Does it work with my theme and page builder?

Yes. Bars render on the front end independently of your theme, so they work with any theme and any page builder, including the block editor, Elementor, Divi and others.

Do I need WooCommerce?

No. Four of the five bar types work on any site. The free-shipping meter is the one type that reads the live WooCommerce cart, so it needs WooCommerce active.

Where are my email subscribers stored?

In your own WordPress database, with one-click CSV export. Nothing is sent to us, and there is no third-party account to connect on the free version.

Can I use it in another language?

Yes. The plugin is fully translatable and supports both left-to-right and right-to-left layouts.

What is the difference between free and Ultra?

The free version covers all five bar types, all five placements, targeting, email opt-ins, templates and stats. Ultra adds premium templates, animated backgrounds and borders, rotating multi-message bars, a floating video bubble, email marketing integrations and an AI copywriter. Ultra is a one-time purchase, no subscription.
