How it works

Live in minutes, earning from the first cart

  1. 1

    Set your goals

    Create a campaign and add tiers based on cart value or quantity — say free shipping at $50, a free gift at $80 and 15% off at $120.

  2. 2

    Shoppers see the bar

    Kai shows live progress in your cart drawer, cart page, product pages or a site-wide bar, with messages like “You’re $12 away from a free gift”.

  3. 3

    Rewards apply by themselves

    Gifts are added to the cart and discounts apply at checkout automatically as Shopify discounts — no codes to type.

Rewards

Every reward that makes “one more item” worth it

Mix rewards across tiers in one campaign — free shipping first, then a gift, then a bigger discount.

Free shipping

Free shipping bar

Make shipping free — or 50% off — once the cart passes your goal. On Pro, limit it to certain methods: Standard free, Express full price.

Free gift

Free gift with purchase

Auto-add one gift, let shoppers pick from several in a popup or carousel, offer a mystery gift, or give the lowest-priced item from a collection.

Discounts

Tiered discounts

Percentage or fixed-amount off at each tier — the more they add, the more they save. The highest tier reached applies to the cart.

BOGO

Buy X Get Y

Quantity-based offers like buy 2, get 1 free or 50% off, on any item or on the products and collections you choose.

Upsells

Upsells inside the bar

On Pro, a carousel or single-row slider of products under the bar — your picks, a collection, or Shopify’s AI recommendations — so the next reward is one tap away.

Design

Four layouts. Your colors, fonts and words.

Pick the look that suits your store, then change every color, font, icon and message. Use variables like {amount left} so the text always matches the cart.

Target the right carts

  • Include or exclude products and collections
  • Goals by cart value or by quantity
  • Schedule start and end times in your store’s time zone
  • Pro: show campaigns to guests, logged-in customers by tags or order history, or only via a private link
  • Show a campaign only to first-time customers
  • Show only on the pages you choose

Design it like your brand

  • 4 layouts: timeline bar, checklist, reward cards, progress ring
  • 7 bar templates, solid or gradient fills with stripes, shimmer or glow
  • A moving icon that rides the bar — truck, gift, cart, bag and more
  • Confetti when a tier unlocks: 5 styles, full screen or on the bar
  • Classic or modern gift popup and a “gift added” alert
  • Live preview with a test cart before you publish

Stores in 18 countries — from Hoka Thailand to Bare Mum in Australia — on the app and the team behind it.

“Best progress bar app out there! We tested several apps before landing on Kai Progress Bar & Free Gift, and this is by far the best one — it can handle any scenario or condition we throw at it, super flexible. On top of that, the pricing is very reasonable and cheap for what you get.”
Hoka ThailandThailand · Sep 2026
“By far the best progress bar app we've used. It's easy to set up, works beautifully, and the customer service is outstanding. Couldn't recommend it more!”
Bare MumAustralia · Aug 2026
“I tested several progress bar apps, but each one had limitations that didn't work with the discounts I wanted to offer. Kai's progress bar is clean, customizable, and gives me the option to include or exclude specific collections—exactly what I needed.”
Algebra and BeyondUnited States · Dec 2025
“Very responsive and efficient support. App works well, easy to set up and a lot of customization is possible through the interface which is usually not the cas with other apps. Definitely recommend!”

FAQ

Questions merchants ask

What does Kai do?

Kai shows a reward progress bar on your store — in the cart drawer, on the cart page, on product pages or as a bar across the site. As the cart grows, shoppers unlock rewards you set: free shipping, a free gift, a percentage or fixed discount, or Buy X Get Y. Each reward is applied automatically at checkout.

Do shoppers need a discount code?

No. Kai creates Shopify automatic discounts that run on Shopify Functions, so rewards apply at checkout on their own. Discount codes are not needed.

How many campaigns can I run?

As many as you like, on every plan. You can schedule campaigns with a start and end time in your store’s time zone, pause, duplicate or save them as drafts.

How does the free gift work?

Pick one gift and Kai adds it to the cart automatically when the goal is reached. Offer several and shoppers choose in a popup or carousel, with a limit on how many they can take. You can also offer a mystery gift (you get an order note to send it) or the lowest-priced item from a collection free.

If a shopper passes several tiers, which reward applies?

The highest tier reached. For example, with 10%, 20% and 30% tiers, a cart that reaches the third tier gets 30% off.

Does it work with Shopify Markets and other currencies?

Yes. Goals convert with Shopify’s currency rates by default, or you can set your own goal amounts per market — with an auto-convert helper — and limit a campaign to selected markets.

Can I show the bar in other languages?

Yes. Every message, label and upsell text can be translated into any language published in your Shopify store, and the bar shows in the shopper’s language. The Kai dashboard itself is available in 21 languages.

Will it work with my theme?

Kai installs as a theme app extension (app embed and app blocks), so it works with Online Store 2.0 themes without editing code. The bar can sit in your theme’s cart drawer, cart page, product page, header, or as a sticky bar, and you can fine-tune spacing per device. Our team helps with any theme that needs extra care.

How much does it cost?

Basic is $5.99/month, Pro is $7.99/month and Plus is $12.99/month, all with a 4-day free trial and unlimited campaigns. Billing runs through your Shopify invoice.
