What is Essent FreeShipping?
Essent FreeShipping Upsell, from Essential Apps (the same developer behind six other apps already covered in this project: Countdown Timer, Announcement Bar, Preorder Back in Stock, Trust Badges, Estimated Delivery Date and Loyalty), builds a free shipping progress bar combined with cart and cross-sell upsells to boost AOV. It carries the Built for Shopify badge and shows a perfect 5.0/5 rating on 859 reviews. It's developed by Essential Apps.
How does the app work on a Shopify store?
The core mechanic is a cart goal progress bar showing customers how close they are to a free shipping threshold (e.g., "You're only $20 away from Free Shipping!"), which encourages spending more rather than simply giving shipping away for free. The bar can be placed on the product page, cart page, cart drawer or as an announcement bar, paired with cross-sell and upsell products directly integrated into the same flow. Revenue generated specifically by the free shipping bar is tracked separately. It covers 15 languages, including French, German, Italian and Spanish, and connects to Shopify Checkout and PageFly.
Why choose Essent FreeShipping Upsell over another free shipping bar app?
This is now the seventh Essential Apps product covered in this project, and the consistency continues: strong review count (859) with a perfect rating, reinforcing why building an entire toolkit from this single developer is appealing for a merchant who values a unified design language and support experience. Combining the free shipping progress bar with integrated cross-selling in the same widget, rather than as a separate app, is a more efficient approach than running two tools. Revenue attribution specifically tied to the free shipping bar is a useful accountability metric most competitors don't isolate this clearly. The free tier already covers 1,000 monthly booster views with unlimited top bar and product page boosters, with cart page boosters and upsell products unlocking at the $14.99/month Essential tier.
What are the 3 main features of the app?
- Free shipping cart goal progress bar, placeable anywhere on the storefront.
- Integrated cross-sell and upsell, directly in the same widget.
- Isolated revenue tracking, specifically for the free shipping bar's impact.
