The “Free Shipping Amount Label & Progress Bar for WooCommerce” goes beyond cart page messaging. It strategically displays free shipping information within the mini-cart and upon adding products to the cart, keeping customers informed throughout their shopping experience. This article explores the plugin’s “Mini-Cart Options” and “Add to Cart Notice Options” sections.
Mini-Cart Options
- Enable/Disable: Activate this section to display free shipping information within the mini-cart widget.
- Content: Craft a customized message using placeholders like %amount_left_for_free_shipping%, %free_shipping_min_amount%, etc., for dynamic content.
- Position: Define the exact location of the message within the mini-cart. Options include before the mini-cart contents, after contents, within the total section, or around the buttons.
- Position Order (Priority): Further refine the placement within the chosen position (especially relevant for positions with multiple options).
Example Mini-Cart Message
“Spend %amount_left_for_free_shipping% more to qualify for Free Shipping!”
Add to Cart Notice Options
- Enable/Disable: Activate this section to display a free shipping notice when a product is added to the cart.
- Content: Craft a customized message similar to the mini-cart options, using placeholders for dynamic content.
- Position: Choose where the notice appears relative to the standard “Product added to cart” message: before, after, or “glued” to it (appearing as a continuation).
Example Add to Cart Notice
“Product added to cart! You are now %amount_left_for_free_shipping% away from Free Shipping!” (Glued position)
Summary
By leveraging the “Mini-Cart Options” and “Add to Cart Notice Options,” you can create a cohesive free shipping messaging strategy across the customer journey. Subtle reminders within the mini-cart and upon adding products keep customers informed and potentially incentivize them to add more items to reach the free shipping threshold. This can lead to increased average order value and ultimately boost your sales.
