How to configure an 'Add to unlock' cart block

Setup Add To Unlock for GWPs, Free Shipping and other rewards

Updated over 2 weeks ago

An Add to unlock cart block enables a progress bar to be added to the cart with rewards that a customer can unlock by spending more.

To style the progress bar use the following settings:

  • Progress bar thickness

  • Progress bar color

  • Progress bar background color

  • Reward size

  • Reward spacing

  • Reward background color

  • Completed reward background color

  • Reward tick color

Rewards can then be added to the progress bar by selecting "+ Add reward" button and then selecting the reward type from the dropdown menu. The options are:

  • Shipping - Display a free shipping threshold

  • Discount - Add a discount code to the order

  • Buy X Get Y - Add a Buy X Get Y discount to the order

  • Free Gift - Add a free product to the order

A Maximum of 5 rewards can be added to any one progress bar.

A discount reward and a Buy X Get Y reward can not be added at the same time. This is a Shopify limitation which causes conflicts between the two discount codes.

Shipping Rewards
​

Display a free shipping threshold for customers to reach. Find the shipping zones for the markets the cart has been assigned to by opening your Shopify Settings. (Settings > Shipping and delivery > Dones). Set up the market with free shipping thresholds.

Add the free shipping threshold to the "Amount threshold" input field. Customize the Progress bar label.

Discount Rewards

Auto add a discount to the customers cart when a threshold has been met. Create a discount code within the Shopify Admin.

Click 'Discounts' in the Shopify Admin navigation. then Click 'Create Discount'. From the popup select 'Amount off products'

Setup your discount within the Shopify Discount settings:

Once the discount code has been created. Head back to the Unicorn app and add the following details to the discount reward ensuring they match the discount code created.

  • Amount threshold - minimum purchase amount of the discount code

  • Discount code title - the name of the discount code created

  • Any items from - match the applies to field (Specific Collection / Specific Product)

  • Collections / Products - match the collections / products the discount code applies to

  • Progress bar label - This can be anything you wish

  • Discount type - match the type of the code - Percentage or Fixed Amount.

  • Percentage off / Amount Off - match the discount code.

Due to how Shopify handles Fixed-Amount discounts we advise against using them for any multi currency stores unless you have set manual exchange rates. Read more

Offer customers to get free gift incentive using a Buy X Get Y Shopify discount once the threshold has been met. Create a discount code within the Shopify Admin.
