Announcement bar - free shipping calculation

Store Design

Topic summary

A user working with the Dawn theme wants to add dynamic free shipping threshold messaging to their announcement bar. Specifically, they want to display text like “You’re $312.90 away from complimentary US shipping” that updates in real-time based on the customer’s current cart value.

The user has seen this feature implemented on other Dawn theme websites.

A respondent confirms this functionality is achievable but notes it requires development effort. The implementation would involve:

  • Retrieving the cart’s total price
  • Applying logic to calculate the remaining amount needed for free shipping
  • Updating the announcement bar dynamically as the cart changes

Hello,

I am using Dawn theme. How can I chance the text on the announcement bar to say ‘You’re $312.90 away from complimentary US shipping’ and for the number to be the relevant amount the customer needs to still spend for free shipping. I have seen this on other websites using Dawn theme.

Thanks,

Hey @AZ2024 , I can understand your point , it can be achieved but it takes efforts as we need to get cart total prices every time It gets updated and make some logic to the announcement bar prices , but it can be achieved definitely.

Thanks
