Shipping Discounts

The Kite App’s Shipping Discounts Bar helps Shopify customers track shipping discount progress, boosting AOV, reducing cart abandonment, and increasing conversions by motivating higher cart values.

‍

‍Description

Introducing the Shipping Discounts Bar in the Kite App for Shopify Stores.

This feature enables shoppers to easily track their eligibility for shipping discounts based on their cart value. The Shipping Bar visually displays how close a customer is to unlocking various shipping discounts, enhancing the shopper's buying journey by:

1. Motivating additional purchases and encouraging higher cart value.

2. Reducing cart abandonment and increasing conversions.

Problem we’re solving

Customers often hesitate to finalize their purchases due to high shipping costs, leading to cart abandonment.

Many customers are unaware of how close they are to qualifying for free shipping or shipping discounts. Additionally, store owners often struggle to communicate these shipping incentives, resulting in lost sales opportunities.

The Shipping Discounts Bar directly addresses these issues by providing a clear, engaging visual cue that encourages customers to increase their cart value, complete their purchases, and gain shipping benefits/rewards.

Impact

Integrating the Shipping Discounts Bar into your Shopify store can offer numerous benefits:

Increasing Average Order Value (AOV): Customers are visually guided on how adding more items to their cart can reduce shipping costs, encouraging higher spending per transaction

Reducing Cart Abandonment Rates: By directly addressing one of the main reasons for cart abandonment—unexpected shipping costs—this feature helps keep customers on the path to purchase.

Improving Cart Conversion Rates: By motivating customers to reach specific spending thresholds for shipping discounts, this feature can lead to higher cart conversion rates.

How it works

1. Visit the Kite App and Create Promotions > Select Shipping Discounts.

2. Set Shipping Discount Goals: Define clear shipping goals that align with your business strategy, such as:

Free shipping after a certain spend threshold.
Progressive shipping discounts based on cart value.

3. Communicate Discounts Effectively‍

Use the Shipping Bar to inform customers about how much more they need to spend to unlock specific shipping discounts, such as:

"Spend $10 more to unlock free shipping."
"Increase your order by $20 to get 50% off on shipping."
Merchants can also run campaigns on specific products and collections according to customer tags, which include: counties, new/old customer, selected shipping method and more.

4. Robust Analytics‍

Monitor the effect of the Shipping Bar on customer behavior and overall sales. Utilize insights from Kite’s analytics dashboard to continuously refine shipping incentives, ensuring your strategies align with customer preferences and business goals.

Dynamic Buy X Get Y Items

The Dynamic Buy X Get Y feature offers customizable discounts, boosting sales and conversions. Set up easily with the Kite app.

‍

Description

Introducing the Dynamic Buy X Get Y feature‚ say goodbye to the traditional constraints of matching limits and combinations.

Now, shoppers can choose a free or discounted item when purchasing a product. Stores can define how many of a Y product to offer for free (or at a discount) for every X product purchased.

Problem We're Solving

Our previous Buy X Get Y feature only allowed for predefined quantities of Product X and Y.

We've addressed this issue by enabling custom discounts with dynamic sets of X and Y, where adding one product of X to the cart makes multiple Y products eligible for discounts.

Previously, products had to be added beforehand to the cart to receive discounts, but our new feature resolves this limitation.

Impact

This feature can help in potential upsells as the products offered are at discounted prices as soon as Product X is added.

With the widget suggesting items immediately, this campaign could increase Average Order Value (AOV) & conversions during holidays like Christmas, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday.

It's perfect for clearing out old stock, offering samples of new products, and promoting mini-samples of your bestsellers.

How It Works

Simply install the Kite app, click on "Create Promotions," and set up the Advanced Buy X Get Y with our new Discount Upsell Widget.
