Ora
Here is the plan:
Bar in the cart and mini cart with a $75 goal
Message showing the amount still needed
Bar turns green when the goal is reached
A settings page in its own menu in your WordPress admin
Small build · $9 once
In this build: Real shipping rules are set in WooCommerce. This plugin only shows the message and bar.
Want more? Add it to your request:
Free gift goal. Add a second goal that gives a free gift at a higher total.
Product page message. Show the amount needed on every product page.
Ora builds it together with the plugin and the quote goes up to match. You see the new price before you pay. One plugin never costs more than $39. If it needs more than one plugin, Ora quotes each one. Or add it later as a separate build.
