Key takeaways
- Yaco is a progress bar that moves as the cart grows.
- Goalify can stack three rewards: free shipping, a discount and a free gift.
- Suggestions aim at the gap, and each country can have its own threshold.
A progress bar has one job: show the distance between this cart and a reward. Yaco is that bar, pointed at an upsell. Goalify keeps the bar and lets the reward be free shipping, money off, a gift, or all three in a sequence.
One reward is easy to explain. Three rewards, in order, are how a $48 cart becomes a $72 cart. The shopper always sees the next finish line, and only the next one.
A number is a nudge. A product closes the gap.
Yaco sits in the upsell-progress category. The bar fills as the cart grows, and the empty part of the bar is the pitch. Merchants use it because "you are $18 away" beats a generic row of related products.
The bar still needs something to add. "Add $18" with a grid of $80 jackets is a taunt. Goalify can suggest a product from your own order history that helps close the gap. The pouch that costs $22, next to a bar that needs $18, is a decision a shopper can make. The suggestion is there to finish the goal, which is a different job from filling a recommendation slot.
Rules can look at cart value, item quantity, or specific products. A gift can depend on what is already in the cart, including a buy-one-get-one style reward. The bar can live on the cart and as a block you place elsewhere on the theme.
Stack the promotion you already promised
Shipping, a discount and a gift often exist in the same month because marketing already promised all three. If the bar can only say one thing, the other two become banners. Banners do not fill. Goalify stacks them: free shipping, then an order discount, then a gift. Each threshold crossed reveals the next.
Write the sequence so it can be read in a 28-pixel bar. Shipping at $50, 10% at $75, a gift at $100 is readable. Three unrelated badges are not. You can test a threshold and read the analytics, so the second number has to earn its place.
Country thresholds keep the sequence honest. A $50 domestic goal and a $120 export goal should not share a label. Goalify stores a threshold per country.
The app is free under 10 orders a month, then $3.99, $7.99 and $11.99. It is Built for Shopify, rated 5.0 from 42 reviews.

Run a sequence, not a pile of badges
Use Goalify when the bar should survive more than one promotion. A store that only ever offers free shipping over one amount can live on a simple bar. A store that rotates a gift and a shipping threshold wants them in order, with the country rule stored on the goal.
The mechanics are in the free shipping progress bar guide and free gift with purchase. Put the bar in the Addy drawer if the cart itself is a slide-out.
