Apps for BigCommerce stores

BigCommerce apps that turn browsers into buyers

A free shipping progress bar that nudges shoppers to add one more item, festival sale countdowns that give every offer a deadline, and your Google and store reviews where shoppers can see them.

Free Shipping Bar

Show shoppers how close they are to free shipping.

Set your free shipping amount and an animated progress bar appears in your hello bar, below the Add to Cart button and in the slide cart. As shoppers add products, the bar fills up and the amount left counts down, with no page reload. When they reach it, the bar turns into a congratulations message with a confetti burst.

Countdown Timer

Give every festival and sale a deadline shoppers can see.

Add a live countdown to your hello bar and an optional popup, with a promo code shoppers copy in one click. Start from a ready-made theme for Halloween, Black Friday, Christmas, New Year, Diwali or Valentine’s Day, or build your own. Schedule campaigns weeks ahead and they start and end on their own.

Shoppers see your combined star rating and filter by source, stars, product and the words customers use, like “battery” or “fast shipping”.

Questions

Which BigCommerce themes do the apps work with?

Cornerstone and the many Stencil themes built on it work out of the box. The hello bar works on any Stencil theme. If a theme builds its slide cart differently, you can point the app at the right spot in its advanced settings, without editing the theme. Headless storefronts are not supported.

Do the apps change my prices, shipping or checkout?

No. They only add messages, reviews and a reviews page to your storefront. You set up the real free shipping rule and coupon codes in BigCommerce, using the same amount and code you enter in the app.

Does Reviews Showcase show all my Google reviews?

It shows your full Google star rating and review count, and the 5 reviews Google picks as most relevant: Google shares no more than that with any app. The reviews page links shoppers to the rest on Google and asks them to write one. All of your approved store reviews are shown.

What data do the apps store?

Your store ID, the access token BigCommerce gives the app, and the settings you save. Reviews Showcase also keeps a copy of your approved product reviews to show them quickly. Everything is deleted when you uninstall. Free Shipping Bar asks BigCommerce for two permissions: to manage storefront scripts and to read store settings. None of the apps can read your orders or customers. Read the details.

When can I install them?

The apps are being prepared for the BigCommerce App Marketplace. Pricing will be shown on the Marketplace listing. Get in touch if you’d like early access.
