Description
Sidocode Shipping Goal Tracker for WooCommerce is a lightweight, high-performance plugin designed to boost your store’s sales by surfacing free shipping incentives exactly where they matter.
Surveys show that free shipping is the number one driver for online purchases. This plugin doesn’t just tell customers how much they need to spend; it visualises their progress in real-time, encouraging them to add “just one more item” to unlock their reward.
Key Features
- Dynamic Progress Bar: A sleek, animated bar that updates instantly via AJAX as customers add or remove items from their cart.
- Proximity-Based Smart Messages: Automatically switches messages based on how close the customer is (e.g., “Add £20 more”, “You’re only £5 away!”, “🎉 Free shipping unlocked!”).
- Integrated Upsells: Show global hand-picked products or WooCommerce native upsells directly below the progress bar to help customers reach the threshold faster.
- Flexible Placement: Position the bar automatically on product pages, cart pages, or use the shortcode for custom locations.
- Full Customisation: Control colours, font sizes, border radius, bar height, and icons directly from the settings page.
- High Performance: Built with vanilla JavaScript and native WooCommerce hooks. No heavy libraries or bloated code.
- HPOS Compatible: Fully supports WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).
- Developer Friendly: Overridable templates and clean hooks for deep customisation.
