Getting started with the Cart Tiered Progress Bar
The Cart Tiered Progress Bar helps you encourage larger purchases and subscription adoption by showing customers their progress toward rewards directly in the Recharge Cart. As customers add products to their cart, the progress bar updates and unlocks rewards when configured thresholds are met.
This guide explains key features, set-up instructions, and considerations related to the Tiered Progress Bar.

- You must use the Recharge Cart to access the Cart Tiered Progress Bar.
Key features
Multi-tier reward progress
Create a single progress bar with up to three reward tiers. This helps customers see how close they are to unlocking each reward as they shop.
Flexible unlock conditions
Set reward tiers based on cart spend, subscription products, or subscription spend. This lets you align rewards with your growth goals, such as increasing average order value or encouraging subscriptions.
Shipping rewards
Unlock Shopify shipping rates when customers meet a tier threshold. Use this to offer incentives such as discounted shipping or free shipping.
Free gift rewards
Automatically add a gift product to the cart when a customer qualifies. This gives customers a clear reason to keep shopping until they reach the reward threshold.
Custom messaging and styling
Customize tier messaging, icons, images, and progress bar styles. This helps the progress bar match your cart experience and clearly communicate each reward.
How it works
The Cart Tiered Progress Bar displays a customer’s progress toward rewards while they shop. You configure reward tiers in a Cart Flow and define what customers must do to unlock each reward.
Each tier uses one of the following reward types:
- Shipping: Unlocks a shipping rate configured in Shopify.
- Free gift: Automatically adds a product to the cart when the threshold is met.
Each tier can be unlocked when the customer meets one of the following conditions:
- Spends a specific cart amount.
- Has a subscription product in the cart.
- Spends a specific cart amount or has a subscription product in the cart.
- Spends a specific amount on subscription purchases.
When a customer reaches a tier threshold, the configured reward is automatically available.
