ShippingHero: Turn Shipping Into A Selling Point
ShippingHero makes your shipping offers work harder with a free shipping bar, clear shipping messages and a threshold progress bar. Instead of hiding your free-shipping deal in the footer, it puts the incentive front and centre where it can influence what shoppers add to cart.
A dedicated shipping-bar app is a small but recurring cost for many stores. ShippingHero is included in your IncomeHero subscription, so this proven order-value lever comes as part of one plan rather than a separate fee.
What ShippingHero does
ShippingHero displays a free shipping bar that announces your offer and a progress bar that shows shoppers how much more they need to spend to qualify. Turning free shipping into a visible, trackable goal is a well-established way to nudge customers toward a larger order.
It also surfaces shipping messages where they reduce hesitation — confirming delivery expectations or highlighting promotions. Clear shipping communication removes a common source of doubt and the unwelcome surprise of unexpected costs at checkout.
Who it is for
ShippingHero is for merchants who offer free shipping over a threshold and want to maximise its impact on order value. If your average order sits just below your free-shipping minimum, a visible progress bar can move many shoppers over the line.
It also helps stores where shipping uncertainty causes abandonment. Proactive shipping messages set expectations early, so customers reach checkout already comfortable with the delivery terms.
Included in your IncomeHero subscription
ShippingHero is bundled into your IncomeHero plan, not billed on its own. Sidekick covers five apps at $49 a month, Hero covers fifteen at $99 a month, and Legend unlocks the full library at $199 a month, cancellable anytime.
Shipping incentives work hand in hand with the cart. Keeping ShippingHero in the same subscription as CartHero and UpsellHero means the free-shipping nudge and the upsell prompt reinforce each other under one price.
