The Barly manual

You set one number — the free shipping threshold, in your store currency. From then on the bar handles the whole journey by itself:

Both texts — the “remaining” message and the “unlocked” message — can be overridden per language in the editor. Use {amount} where the remaining sum should appear; the currency formatting follows your store settings automatically.

When it reaches zero you choose what happens: the bar hides, or keeps showing the message without the digits. No fake timers that quietly reset — if you promise a deadline, the bar keeps it.

A plain message with an optional button — new collection, holiday notice, store-wide code, free returns. No logic, just your words. Write the message per language in the editor; languages you leave empty fall back to your English text.

Any bar can carry a button — “Shop now” linking to your sale, a collection, a landing page, even an external URL. The button label is part of the language dictionary, so it follows the shopper's language too, and you can override it per language like any other wording. On small screens the button hides automatically so the message always fits.

1. 1

   Order is priority

   The arrows on the Bars screen set the order. The bar nearest the top wins whenever two bars target the same page — so during a campaign, move the campaign bar up and it overrides your everyday bar; afterwards it hands back automatically.

2. 2

   Page targeting runs bars side by side

   Bars that target different pages never compete. A classic set: free shipping progress on the home page and collections, a dispatch-deadline countdown on product pages, and a “cart reserved” timer on the cart. Three bars, all live at once, each in its own place.

3. 3

   Scheduling builds a calendar that runs itself

   Give seasonal bars start and end dates — Black Friday, then Christmas, then New Year — and keep your everyday bar undated at the bottom of the list. Each campaign switches itself on and off, and between campaigns the everyday bar shows. Set the whole season up in October and never touch it again.

However many bars you create, storefront speed does not change: inactive, expired and not-yet-started bars are filtered out at publish time, so the storefront only ever receives the bars that can actually show.

Every language has its own text fields in the editor. Leave a field empty and the built-in translation below is used; type your own and it wins for that language. For shipping bars you can override both the “remaining” and the “unlocked” message; use {amount} where the sum should appear. For announcements, empty languages fall back to your English message.

Every built-in phrase is translated into each of these — 4 phrases × 60 languages.
