Free shipping exceptions

Free Shipping Bar offers you the ability to exclude specific products from counting toward free shipping as well as mark products that always have shipping fees.



ⓘ  Please note
Please note, the Free Shipping Bar app  does not trigger or apply free shipping but is a tool to help advertise it to customers and show them how close they are to achieving free shipping.

Any exceptions from free shipping will need to be set in your Shopify  Admin section. Once that is done, this app can help clearly and accurately advertise it.
