shopify free shipping bar not updating cart
Free-shipping thresholds that miss after discounts train customers to game the cart. Align rules, then re-test the promo path operators use.
The actual problem
Free-shipping progress bar lies (or doesn’t update) — shoppers bounce thinking they missed the threshold.
Do this
- Add/remove items; confirm bar and checkout shipping agree.
- Exclude non-eligible SKUs from the threshold math in the theme.
- Fix currency/Markets so threshold matches local prices.
- Re-test after shipping profile or theme app updates.
