Using the Promotion Progress Bar in your checkout is a great way to incentivize customers to increase their cart value by offering rewards, such as free shipping or a discount.
What makes Platter+ so powerful, is that you can stack up to three promotions into the same progress bar. For example, you can incentives customers with:
Free shipping
A percentage discount off their order
A free gift if they spend over a certain amount
The promotions in the Promotion Progress Bar is are based on the following:
Subtotal: The subtotal of the items in the customer's cart (before taxes, discounts applied at checkout and shipping).
Quantity: The number of items in the customer's cart.
With Platter+, you can use the Promotion Progress Bar to promote three different discount types:
Increase order value by offering free shipping when customers hit a specific target.
Any discounts you're offering will need to be created using Discounts in your Shopify admin. This can be done by creating Automatic Discounts.
For more information on how to create discounts in Shopify, refer to Shopify's article on discount types.
Follow the instructions below to setup an Promotion Progress Bar:
In the Extensions page, scroll down and find the Promotion Progress Bar extension and click Add to Checkout.
To create additional offers/promotions, click the Add offer button.
Note: You can use up to three offers/promotions at one time.
If you are using a second or third offer, repeat steps 7-10 for each additional offer.
Before moving to the next step, make sure that you have created automatic discounts in Shopify that match the offers you have set up in the previous steps. Note: If you do not create corresponding automatic in Shopify, your
Open your Checkout Editor and install your extension.
From the dashboard, go to Extensions tab or click Browse extensions.
Select the markets you'd like to display the extension.
In the Promotional Details, select how you'd like the Promotion Progress Bar to activate.
If you'd like, add header text.
If your promotion only applies to when customers have certain items in their order (ie. "Buy jeans, get a free t-shirt"), specify what products should trigger the promotion.
Select the discount type you'd like to use for the first promotion (shipping, order, or product).
Then, select the minimum subtotal/quantity the customer must add to their order in order to be eligible for the promotion. Note: Promotions are calculated based on the cart's subtotal before discount codes are applied at checkout. If the subtotal below the minimum after the discount code is applied, the customer will still qualify for the promotion. This is a Shopify limitation.
Next, select what discount method you'd like to use, either percentage off (%) or fixed amount ($). And set the discount percentage or dollar amount. Note: When using the product discount type, the discount method applies individually to each eligible promotional product. For example, if your promotion is "Buy a pair of pants, get $5 off two shirts," each shirt will receive a $5 discount, resulting in a total discount of $10.
Edit the message shown before and after the customer becomes eligible for the promotion.
If you desire, adjust the header and border styling.
Open the Install extension in checkout editor window, and enter a custom name (optional).
