Remaining amount to free shipping

About the Extension
Just a few euros left until free shipping and the cart starts growing
Sound familiar at checkout? The cart is almost full, shipping costs still stand in the way, and one more item would make sense. That is exactly where customers decide whether to complete the order or leave. With a clear remaining amount display until free shipping, you make that moment visible and motivate targeted add-ons.
Many shops offer free shipping above a cart value. Without a visible cue, customers notice the missing amount late or not at all. The result: smaller carts, more shipping cost friction, and wasted upselling potential in the cart and on the product detail page.
Why the threshold needs to be visible
Free shipping is a strong purchase argument, but only when it becomes tangible at the right moment. A note in the terms or footer rarely helps. Customers need a clear signal: How much is still missing? What changes when I add this product? And when is the threshold reached?
That is where the display comes in. It accompanies the buying journey and turns an abstract free shipping limit into a concrete call to action. That reduces friction at checkout and increases average order value without intrusive interruptions.
How the free shipping display works in your shop
FreeDelivery calculates the amount still missing until free shipping and shows it in real time. When an item is added to the cart, the display updates immediately. Once the cart value reaches the free shipping threshold, the text switches to the reached state.
Typical placements:
- Shop header for continuous visibility
- Product detail page with selectable position around the buy button
- Cart and offcanvas when adding to cart
- Optional progress bar for extra orientation
All texts are freely customizable and localizable so you can match your brand and languages.
Flexible control in the Administration
You decide from which remaining value the display appears. It stays subtle when the gap is large and becomes noticeable once free shipping is within reach. Per sales channel you enable it only where it helps your customers.
Additional control options:
- Display rule via the Rule Builder, for example only for selected customer groups or campaigns
- Optionally ignore cart discounts when calculating the free shipping limit
- Hide the banner on the detail page for unavailable closeout products
- Free shipping reached text on the detail page when a single product reaches the limit on its own
- Hide the display once free shipping already applies
Important: Calculation is based on your shipping method with cart value and a matching price matrix. The last tier up to infinity stays free of shipping so the threshold works correctly in the shop.
Benefits and next step
Instead of static notices you get a lively purchase incentive. Customers understand why one more item pays off. That supports organic upselling and turns free shipping into an active conversion lever. Configuration stays in the Admin without code.
This fits shop operators and agencies with a clear free shipping threshold who want to grow cart value across channels, campaigns or rule-based targeting.
Install the plugin, configure shipping matrix and settings, then test header, product detail and cart with a sample order. You will see how the remaining amount ticks and when free shipping is reached.
FAQ
Compatibility
Our extension is generally compatible with all our own extensions, provided that the respective functionalities do not conflict with each other.
For third-party extensions, including Shopware’s premium extensions, we cannot guarantee unrestricted compatibility. Should any issues arise in this context, our support team will be happy to assist you.
Naturally, when new Shopware versions are released, we ensure that our extension is made compatible with them in a timely manner.
