Softminal

<p><strong>Softminal Cart Reward Progress Bar</strong> displays a dynamic, live-updating progress bar in your store that motivates customers to add more items to their cart in order to unlock rewards like free shipping, discounts, or free gifts.</p>
<p>It works seamlessly with <strong>WooCommerce</strong>, <strong>SureCart</strong>, and <strong>FluentCart</strong> — giving you the flexibility to use it across different eCommerce platforms on the same WordPress site.</p>
<p>When a shopper adds products to their cart, the bar updates in real time — no page reload required — showing how close they are to earning a reward. This creates a sense of urgency and encourages higher spending, directly increasing your average order value.</p>
<h3>Reward Types</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Free Shipping</strong> — Show progress toward a free shipping threshold. Shipping cost is automatically zeroed when the goal is reached.</li>
<li><strong>Percentage Discount</strong> — Automatically apply a percentage discount to the cart when the spending goal is met.</li>
<li><strong>Free Gift</strong> — Automatically add a free product to the cart when the customer reaches the goal amount.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Bar Styles</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Rounded</strong> — Pill-shaped bar with smooth edges.</li>
<li><strong>Flat</strong> — Clean, squared bar with no border radius.</li>
<li><strong>Striped</strong> — Animated diagonal stripes for a more dynamic look.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Celebration Animations</h3>
<p>When a customer reaches the goal, the bar can celebrate with one of four animations:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pulse</strong> — A quick scale-up effect.</li>
<li><strong>Glow</strong> — A pulsing glow around the bar.</li>
<li><strong>Bounce</strong> — A playful bounce animation.</li>
<li><strong>Confetti</strong> — Colorful confetti sparkles appear around the bar.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Multi-Platform Support</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>WooCommerce</strong> — Classic cart, block cart, block checkout, mini-cart, and HPOS compatible.</li>
<li><strong>SureCart</strong> — Native integration via Alpine.js event bridge.</li>
<li><strong>FluentCart</strong> — Native integration via wp.hooks event bridge.</li>
</ul>
<p>The plugin auto-detects which eCommerce platform is active, or you can manually select one from the settings page.</p>
<h3>Full Customization</h3>
<ul>
<li>Bar and track colors, text colors, reached-state colors, empty-state colors.</li>
<li>Gradient fills with configurable direction (horizontal, diagonal, vertical).</li>
<li>Bar height, border radius, width, shadow, and border — all configurable.</li>
<li>Font size, font family, font weight, and text alignment.</li>
<li>Container padding, bar gap, and container background color.</li>
<li>Per-state display modes: show bar + text, bar only, text only, or hidden.</li>
<li>Per-state icons via emoji input or WordPress Media Library upload.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Messages & Placeholders</h3>
<p>Customize the message shown at each stage using dynamic placeholders:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>{remaining}</code> — Amount still needed to reach the goal.</li>
<li><code>{percent}</code> — Percentage of goal reached (0–100).</li>
<li><code>{reward}</code> — The configured reward label.</li>
<li><code>{goal}</code> — The goal amount with currency symbol.</li>
<li><code>{total}</code> — Current cart subtotal with currency symbol.</li>
</ul>
<p>Three separate message templates: <strong>empty cart</strong>, <strong>in-progress</strong>, and <strong>goal reached</strong>.</p>
<h3>Dark Mode</h3>
<p>Softminal Cart Reward Progress Bar respects <code>prefers-color-scheme: dark</code> automatically. You can also configure custom dark mode colors for the bar, track, and text.</p>
<h3>RTL Support</h3>
<p>Full right-to-left language support with auto-detection or manual override (LTR / RTL).</p>
<h3>Currency Formatting</h3>
<p>Configure the currency symbol position (before/after), decimal places (0–2), and thousand separator (comma, dot, space, or none) independently from your eCommerce platform.</p>
<h3>Scheduling</h3>
<p>Optionally restrict the progress bar to a specific date range — useful for seasonal promotions, flash sales, or holiday campaigns.</p>
<h3>Accessibility</h3>
<p>The progress bar is built with proper ARIA attributes (<code>role="progressbar"</code>, <code>aria-valuenow</code>, <code>aria-valuemin</code>, <code>aria-valuemax</code>, <code>aria-label</code>) so it is fully usable by screen readers and assistive technologies. Animations respect <code>prefers-reduced-motion</code>.</p>
<h3>Shortcode</h3>
<p>Place the bar anywhere using the <code>[cbpb_bar]</code> shortcode. Works with the Block Editor (Gutenberg), Elementor, Divi, Bricks, and any other page builder that supports shortcodes.</p>
<h3>Developer Friendly</h3>
<ul>
<li>No custom database tables — all settings stored in <code>wp_options</code>.</li>
<li>Clean uninstall — all <code>cbpb_*</code> options are removed on plugin deletion.</li>
<li>CSS custom properties drive all styling — zero theme conflicts, no <code>!important</code>.</li>
<li>Fully namespaced PHP (<code>CartBoostPB\</code>) with PSR-4 autoloading.</li>
<li>REST API at <code>softminal-cart-reward-progress-bar/v1</code> with capability-based permission checks.</li>
<li>Source files and build tooling are included in the plugin package (<code>resources/</code>, <code>package.json</code>, <code>vite.config.js</code>, <code>build.sh</code>).</li>
</ul>
<h3>100% Free</h3>
<p>Every feature is included at no cost. There is no premium tier, no feature gating, and no upsells.</p>


Softminal Cart Reward Progress Bar

A live cart progress bar for WooCommerce, SureCart & FluentCart. Boost order value with free shipping, discount, and gift rewards.

Brainstorm Force

<p>Modern Cart is the ultimate WooCommerce side cart plugin that replaces your clunky default cart page with a smooth slide-out cart drawer or popup cart – all powered by AJAX so customers never leave the page they’re on.</p>
<p>Stop losing sales to the default WooCommerce cart page. Every time a shopper gets redirected to a separate cart page, you lose momentum. A WooCommerce side cart fixes this instantly so the cart slides open right on the page, no redirect, no reload, no lost sale.</p>
<p>Add a free shipping progress bar, in-cart upsells, and a built-in coupon form on top, and every cart visit becomes an opportunity to grow your average order value.</p>

<h3>Why Your Store Needs a WooCommerce Side Cart</h3>
<p>The default WooCommerce cart page kills conversions. Shoppers click “Add to Cart,” get bounced to a separate page, and lose interest. That friction costs you real money every single day.</p>
<p>A WooCommerce side cart (also called a cart drawer, sliding cart, or floating cart) solves this immediately. The cart opens right there on the page – no redirect, no reload.</p>
<p>A floating cart icon stays pinned in the corner at all times so shoppers always know what’s in their cart and can open it from anywhere on your store.</p>
<p>🏆 Trusted by 4,000,000+ WordPress users worldwide • Built by Brainstorm Force, the team behind CartFlows and Astra Theme.</p>

<h3>Powerful Features 🚀</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>WooCommerce Side Cart / Slide-Out Cart Drawer</strong> – A smooth slide-in panel opens from the side of the screen when a product is added or the floating cart icon is clicked. Customers view, update, and manage their entire cart without leaving the current page.</li>
<li><strong>Popup Cart</strong> – Prefer a popup over a slide-out? Switch to popup cart mode for a centered overlay experience. Choose the style that fits your store – both are included.</li>
<li><strong>Floating Cart Icon</strong> – A sticky floating cart icon stays pinned in the corner of every page, showing a live item count badge. One click opens the full WooCommerce side cart from anywhere on your site.</li>
<li><strong>Free Shipping Progress Bar</strong> – Show customers exactly how close they are to free shipping with a dynamic progress bar inside the cart drawer. The single most effective way to increase average order value – customers consistently add one more item just to unlock it.</li>
<li><strong>Cart Rewards Progress Bar</strong> – Go beyond free shipping. Set custom reward milestones – free gifts, discounts, or any incentive – with a real-time progress bar that updates as items are added or removed.</li>
<li><strong>Built-In Coupon Form</strong> – Let customers apply discount codes right inside the WooCommerce side cart. No page reloads, no confusion. Works seamlessly with Power Coupons for WooCommerce for auto-apply and rule-based discounts.</li>
<li><strong>In-Cart Upsells and Cross-Sells</strong> (Pro) – Recommend relevant products directly inside the sliding cart at the exact moment customers are closest to checking out. The perfect trigger for increasing order value.</li>
<li><strong>AJAX Cart – No Page Reloads</strong> – Adding, removing, and updating quantities all happen instantly via AJAX. No page refresh ever. The floating cart icon and side cart always show live, up-to-date totals.</li>
<li><strong>Customization and Design Flexibility</strong> – Choose from multiple cart styles and customize colors, button labels, coupon placeholder text, icon styles, and shipping bar messages to match your store’s branding perfectly.</li>
<li><strong>Mobile-First Design</strong> – The WooCommerce side cart and floating cart icon are built mobile-first. The sliding cart and cart drawer work beautifully on all screen sizes – especially phones and tablets where cart abandonment is highest.</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight and Fast</strong> – Built for performance. Modern Cart won’t slow your WooCommerce store down.</li>
