November 2026: the big update
A rebuilt app with a new editor, new bar types, AI and plans.
New
- New editor with a live desktop and phone preview, and 29 ready-made templates for sales, holidays, free shipping and list growth.
- New bar types: email and SMS signup, cookie notice connected to Shopify’s Customer Privacy API, sticky add to cart and recent sales.
- Countdowns with a fixed end date, a daily cut-off or a personal timer for each visitor.
- Free shipping goals with several goals in one bar and product upsells.
- Design: links in the message, icons, image backgrounds, a floating pill, a separate phone message, custom CSS, and placement inside a theme section or the cart drawer.
- Targeting: countries, customers, URLs, Markets, languages, products, collections, customer tags, traffic source, exit intent and how often a visitor sees a bar.
- Scheduling with start and end dates, and a calendar of every campaign.
- Analytics: A/B tests, orders and revenue per bar, heatmaps, CSV export and a weekly email summary.
- AI that writes and designs a bar from a short description, translates it and explains what is working.
- Email tools: signups go to Shopify customers, and to Klaviyo, Mailchimp or Omnisend lists.
Plans
- Free: unlimited bars and views, one bar shown at a time.
- Starter ($2.99/month) and Pro ($4.99/month), each with a 7-day free trial, billed through Shopify.
- Stores that installed the app before plans existed keep every feature they already had, free.
Improved
- Bars ship with your theme, so they show without an extra request and load faster.
- Visitors who decline analytics in your privacy banner are no longer counted.
