Changelog Version 1.1.1
  • 1.0.0 Initial release
  • 1.0.1 You can use the shortcode [cart_progress_bar] to display the progress bar anywhere in your cart page, posts, pages, or widgets. Perfect for block based themes!
  • 1.0.2 Fixed Milestone Position Issue
  • Problem: When the delivery target value was set lower than the gift target value (e.g., Gift €100, Delivery €50), the icons would position incorrectly, with the gift icon appearing beyond the visible progress bar.
  • 1.0.3 Fixed Ajax Cart issue for Block Based Themes
  • 1.0.4 Icons filling when a goal is reached + VAT option
  • 1.0.5 Added Center first milestone icon functionality - If enabled, the first (lower value) milestone icon is shown at the center of the bar. The bar fill is remapped so the icon is reached exactly at that milestone.
  • 1.0.6 Compatibility with Minimog Theme
  • 1.1.1 Added Filter for Customization

Got questions?

Can I use only one milestone instead of two?

Absolutely! You can enable or disable each milestone independently. Simply check or uncheck the "Enable Gift Milestone" or "Enable Delivery Milestone" options in the settings. This gives you complete flexibility to run promotions with just free gifts, just free delivery, or both together.

Does this work with WooCommerce Blocks (Cart and Checkout blocks)?

Yes! The plugin is fully compatible with WooCommerce Blocks. It includes AJAX functionality that listens to cart changes in block-based carts and updates the progress bar in real-time without page refreshes. You can also use the [cart_progress_bar] shortcode to manually place the progress bar anywhere in your block-based cart page.

How do I add custom icons for the milestones?

Upload your custom icon images to your WordPress Media Library, then copy the image URL and paste it into the "Gift Icon URL" or "Delivery Icon URL" fields in the plugin settings. The icons should be small square images (recommended 30x30px or 50x50px) in PNG or SVG format for best results.

Is the plugin compatible with multilingual sites (WPML/Polylang)?

Yes! The plugin is fully multilingual-ready. All custom messages, labels, and text are automatically registered with WPML and Polylang for translation. Your progress bar messages will display in the appropriate language based on your customer's language selection.

Does the progress bar calculate shipping costs or just product subtotal?

The progress bar is based on the cart subtotal only (products and their quantities), excluding shipping costs. This is the standard WooCommerce approach and ensures customers know exactly how much more they need to spend in products to reach the milestones. Shipping is typically calculated later in the checkout process.

Does it work with WooCommerce Blocks cart / mini cart?

Yes. The plugin listens to WooCommerce Blocks cart store updates and refreshes progress instantly, so it stays accurate in block-based themes.

Can I calculate progress with VAT included?

Absolutely. Enable “Include VAT/Tax in subtotal calculation” and the progress will use subtotal + tax (shipping excluded). Turn it off if your targets are VAT-free.

What happens if I disable Auto Insert?

The bar won’t appear automatically in Cart/Mini Cart. You can place it manually anywhere using [cart_progress_bar] (or the aliases) without double rendering.

Are the texts translatable?

Yes. All messages and labels are registered dynamically and can be translated through WPML or Polylang.

Is a license required?

Yes. An active license unlocks settings and automatic updates. Without activation, the plugin stays inactive to protect premium features.

How do I install the plugin?

After payment you download the ZIP file from your purchase email or from your account. In WordPress go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, choose the ZIP, click Install and then Activate.

Where do I find my licence key?

Your licence key is in your purchase email and in your account. Enter it in the plugin's licence tab to unlock every feature and automatic updates.

On how many sites can I use it?

Each licence covers 1 website (domain). For more sites you need one licence per site. When you add 2 or more plugins to the cart, the volume discount applies automatically: 2 plugins -10%, 3 plugins -15%, 4 plugins -20%.

Is there a yearly subscription?

No. You pay once and the licence includes lifetime updates, with no renewals and no hidden fees.

What if the plugin is not right for me?

Most plugins come with a 14-day money-back guarantee. See the details in our Refund Policy.

What does support include?

Help with installation and activation, answers to usage questions and bug fixes. Send your request from the support page and we usually reply within 24 hours on business days.

Can I request a new feature or a customisation?

Yes. Use the "Request a feature" and "Customisation request" forms further down this page. Requests that help many stores make it into the next releases.
