Goal Based Progress Bar

The Kite App's Goal-Based Progress Bar helps Shopify shoppers track rewards like free shipping, boosting conversions and reducing cart abandonment. Store owners can customize it and access analytics to improve the shopping experience.

‍

Description

Introducing the Goal-Based Progress Bar in the Kite App for Shopify Store Owners

This feature helps shoppers visually track their progress toward achieving specific purchasing goals, such as:

  1. Free shipping
  2. Unlocking Gifts & Discounts
  3. Encouraging more purchases
  4. Enhancing the overall shopping experience

Whether it's filling a cart to unlock free shipping, qualifying for a cart discount, or earning a shipping discount, our progress bar keeps customers informed and motivated throughout their shopping journey.

Problem We're Solving

Online shoppers often abandon their carts due to a lack of engagement or awareness of the benefits and discounts that additional purchases could bring.

E-commerce stores frequently face challenges in effectively communicating offers such as free shipping, discounts, or gifts available upon reaching specific purchase thresholds.

Our Goal-Based Progress Bar addresses these challenges directly by providing a clear and engaging visual cue that encourages customers to increase their cart value and complete their purchases.

Impact

The implementation of the Goal-Based Progress Bar in your Shopify store can significantly enhance the user experience by:

Increasing Average Order Value (AOV): By visually showing how close customers are to achieving benefits such as free shipping or discounts, they are more likely to add additional items to their carts, resulting in a higher AOV.

Reducing Cart Abandonment Rates: Engaging customers with a clear visual representation of their progress toward rewards decreases the likelihood of cart abandonment.

Improving Conversion Rates: By motivating customers to reach specific spending thresholds, this feature can directly contribute to higher conversion rates.

How It Works

1. Set Targets

‍ Define the goals and rewards you want your customers to achieve, such as:

  • A minimum spend for multiple rewards like free or discounted shipping, free gifts and discounts
  •  Customize the progress bar to reflect these goals. Decide on the type of discount you want to offer—either a percentage-based or fixed-amount discount.

2. Integrate on Cart or Product Pages

‍The progress bar is dynamically integrated with the customer's shopping cart. As items are added or removed, the progress bar updates in real-time to show how close they are to reaching their goal. You can also choose to display the progress bar on:

  1. Side Cart
  2. Cart Page
  3. Selected Product Pages
  4. All Product Pages

3. Communicate Benefits‍

Use the progress bar to clearly display the benefits of reaching specific milestones, such as :

  1. "Spend $20 more for free shipping,"
  2. Spend $80 more for a Free Gift
  3. Add items worth $50 to get 10% OFF

4. Customize Design‍

Tailor the appearance of the progress bar to match your store’s branding. Customize the CSS, fonts, and colors to align seamlessly with your design.

5. Analyze and Optimize‍

Monitor how the progress bar influences shopping behavior and sales. Leverage insights from Kite’s analytics dashboard to refine goals and rewards, ensuring an exceptional shopping experience for your customers.

Dynamic Buy X Get Y Items

The Dynamic Buy X Get Y feature offers customizable discounts, boosting sales and conversions. Set up easily with the Kite app.

‍

Description

Introducing the Dynamic Buy X Get Y feature‚ say goodbye to the traditional constraints of matching limits and combinations.

Now, shoppers can choose a free or discounted item when purchasing a product. Stores can define how many of a Y product to offer for free (or at a discount) for every X product purchased.

Problem We're Solving

Our previous Buy X Get Y feature only allowed for predefined quantities of Product X and Y.

We've addressed this issue by enabling custom discounts with dynamic sets of X and Y, where adding one product of X to the cart makes multiple Y products eligible for discounts.

Previously, products had to be added beforehand to the cart to receive discounts, but our new feature resolves this limitation.

Impact

This feature can help in potential upsells as the products offered are at discounted prices as soon as Product X is added.

With the widget suggesting items immediately, this campaign could increase Average Order Value (AOV) & conversions during holidays like Christmas, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday.

It's perfect for clearing out old stock, offering samples of new products, and promoting mini-samples of your bestsellers.

How It Works

Simply install the Kite app, click on "Create Promotions," and set up the Advanced Buy X Get Y with our new Discount Upsell Widget.
