Free shipping bar

The Free shipping bar tells customers how far away they are from qualifying for free shipping. It’s a great way to motivate customers to purchase more items to unlock savings.

Before you enable the free shipping bar, you must set up a free shipping rate in your Shopify admin. Follow the step below to Add a free shipping rate.

Editing shipping and taxes message

Depending on your admin settings, Shopify automatically displays default text for Shipping and Taxes in the Cart (for example, "Taxes included"). These messages are not controlled by Flash Cart.

However, you can edit or remove default shipping and taxes text by using your default theme content editor.

STEPS

In your Shopify Admin:

  1. Go to Online store > Themes.
  2. Click Actions (...) > Edit default theme content for your current theme.
  3. Search for "Shipping" or "Taxes" to find the default text or click on the Cart tab.
    4. image
  4. Edit the text you want to change in the available fields.
    5. Warning: Do not change text inside curly brackets {{ }} or HTML link tags (<a href=""> and </a>). Changing them will break the functionality of the theme.
    You can change the link text (e.g. "Shipping") between the opening and closing link tags. To remove default text, use your space bar to replace the text with a single space.
  5. Click Save.
