The General tab of the Free Shipping Bar: Amount Left for Free Shipping for WooCommerce controls the plugin switch, the messages shown, how the cart total is calculated, and the rules for hiding the message or other shipping methods. This is where you set up the behavior that every display section then inherits.
Go to WPFactory > Left for Free Shipping (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > Amount Left for Free Shipping) and open the General section.

Calculation options #
These decide which number the plugin treats as the customer’s cart total when it works out how much is left.
| Label | Option ID | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Cart total method | alg_wc_left_to_free_shipping_cart_total_method |
Displayed subtotal |
| Exclude discounts from cart total | alg_wc_left_to_free_shipping_include_discounts |
Yes (excluded) |
| Exclude shipping from cart total | alg_wc_left_to_free_shipping_exclude_shipping |
No |
| Also exclude shipping taxes | alg_wc_left_to_free_shipping_exclude_shipping_taxes |
Yes |
The cart total method offers three values: Displayed subtotal, Cart contents total, and Cart total. Enable Exclude discounts when you use the Displayed subtotal method, and enable Exclude shipping when you use the Cart total method.
Hide shipping methods #
This group hides all shipping methods on the frontend except the ones you want to keep visible once free shipping becomes available. It is a free feature.
| Label | Option ID | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Hide other shipping methods when free shipping is available | alg_wc_left_to_free_shipping_hide_shipping_methods |
No |
| Visible shipping methods (kept when free shipping is reached) | alg_wc_left_to_free_shipping_visible_shipping_methods_on_hide |
Free shipping |
There is no single “free shipping method” selector on this screen. Instead, Visible shipping methods is a multiselect that lists the shipping methods registered in your store, and you choose which stay visible after free shipping is reached.
Hide the amount left text #
These options suppress the message in specific circumstances.
| Label | Option ID | Free/Pro |
|---|---|---|
