Flexibar is an AI-powered announcement bar app for Shopify. It lets you create scrolling marquees, sticky banners, countdown timers, rotating slider bars, and gradient promo bars in a few clicks - no code, no theme edits. Inside one app you also get AI-generated copy, 60+ language auto-translation, geo & device targeting, and date/time scheduling. Most merchants publish their first bar in under 60 seconds.

Yes. Open any bar from the dashboard, make your changes on the Contents, Design, or Placing tabs, and click Save & Publish to replace the live version. Use Save (without publish) to keep working on a draft without changing what shoppers currently see. If you only want to pause a bar, unpublish it - you don't need to delete it.

Yes - Flexibar has a generous free plan that covers the features most merchants need to launch: multiple simultaneous bars, AI message generation, auto-translation into 60+ languages, countdown timers & scheduling, device/page/country targeting, and custom CSS. You can install and run a published announcement bar at zero cost. See current limits below or in the in-app billing page.

The free plan covers everyday announcement bars end to end. Pro unlocks the higher-tier bar types and larger usage limits - for example the Multiple Message (Slider) bar type, higher monthly AI message and translation quotas, and priority support. Compare the exact limits on the Plans page inside the app, and upgrade or downgrade at any time.

Yes - Flexibar ships with 10+ designed templates tuned for common e-commerce use cases: Flash Sale, Christmas Special, Black Friday Deal, Free Shipping, Hurry Up Sale, Winter Sale, New Collection, Coupon Code, Unlock Discount, Summer Sale, and more. Open Template Bars in the sidebar, click Duplicate on any template, and Flexibar drops a fully-styled copy into your dashboard - you only need to change the message and publish.

Enable the Countdown section in the Contents tab and set a Target Date and Target Time. The countdown runs down to that moment in your store's timezone, which is shown in the app so there's no guesswork. Combine it with Scheduling in the Placing tab to also auto-publish and auto-unpublish the bar around your sale window, so the bar disappears on its own when the promo ends.

A Selling Bar does more than announce - it sells a bundle. The bar shows your offer (plus an optional countdown and button); when a shopper taps it, a bundle popup opens where they choose a quantity or build a set, see the savings, and add it to the cart. It's built for "buy more, save more" and mix-and-match offers, without needing a separate bundle app.

In a Quantity Bundle, pick the product, then fill in the Tiers table. For each tier you set the quantity and the discount percentage, and Flexibar auto-calculates what the shopper pays - you never do the math. Mark one tier as Best value with the star; that tier is highlighted and pre-selected in the popup to steer shoppers toward it. Example: Buy 1 = full price, Buy 2 = 10% off, Buy 3 = 20% off.

Tapping the bar opens a clean popup - for example "Stock up and save" - with each tier shown as a card displaying the total price, the per-unit price, and the amount saved (for example "Save $139.99"), with your Best value tier badged and pre-selected. The shopper picks a tier and adds the bundle to the cart in one step.

Yes - that's the Build Your Own offer. You set the number of slots, choose the product pool shoppers can pick from, and set the reward that unlocks when all slots are filled. Shoppers assemble their own set from your curated pool and get the discount or gift automatically.

Yes. On a Build Your Own bundle, the reward can be a percentage discount or a gift once the shopper fills all the slots. Choose whichever fits the campaign.

No - the discount is cart-aware. When a shopper's cart meets the bundle's conditions (for example three of the eligible product), the bundle price applies automatically at the cart, whether they built it through the popup or added the items themselves. This keeps the offer fair and avoids the "I have three in my cart, where's my discount?" problem.

The cart always shows the price that matches the current bundle configuration, and Flexibar never silently raises the price on something already in a shopper's cart. If you lower a price, shoppers see the better deal. If a change would raise the price or swap products, the shopper is shown the change in the cart before checkout - so the new price never appears as a surprise at the payment step.

Like every Flexibar bar, Selling Bars use the Placing tab - so you control the pages (home, product pages, collections, and more), devices, and countries where the bar and its bundle popup show up. Product and home pages are the most common placements for bundles.

Bundle pricing is designed to apply at the cart. How it combines with other Shopify discounts and coupon codes follows Shopify's discount-combination rules, so you stay in control of stacking.

Yes. Turn on the Coupon Code option in the Contents tab and enter your code. Shoppers can copy it straight from the bar, and you can pair it with a button that links to the cart with the code pre-applied (using a /discount/CODE URL) so it's one tap to redeem.

Yes - Flexibar is fully mobile-responsive and works with any Online Store 2.0 theme (Dawn, Sense, Refresh, Studio, Crave, and all popular custom and premium themes). The live preview at the top of the editor includes a Desktop / Tablet / Mobile toggle so you can sanity-check responsive behavior before publishing. You can also force a bar to show on certain devices only from the Placing tab.

In the Placing tab, toggle on Scheduling. You'll get start & end date/time fields plus a Store Timezone indicator (so you always know which zone the bar will fire in). Set your window, save, and Flexibar will auto-publish at start time and auto-unpublish at end time - no manual cleanup. This is what powers reliable Black Friday, flash sale, and product-drop campaigns.

Yes. Open the Analytics section in the app to see how your bars are doing - impressions and clicks - so you can tell which messages and offers convert and double down on the winners.

No. Flexibar ships as a Shopify App Embed (loads via the theme, not as an injected script tag), the runtime is <15 KB gzipped, and it loads asynchronously after the page is interactive. It has no impact on Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) and only a negligible CLS shift that we offset with reserved height. If you ever measure a regression in Lighthouse or Core Web Vitals, message support and we'll investigate within 24 hours.

Flexibar only requests the minimum Shopify scopes needed to render bars: read shop info, read products (so you can link bars to collection/product pages), and write the theme app embed. We do not store customer PII, do not sell data, do not run third-party trackers, and follow Shopify's Protected Customer Data rules. Bar settings are stored encrypted at rest. You can read the full Privacy Policy for specifics.

Make sure you clicked Save & Publish (not just Save), then hard-refresh the storefront or view it in a private window - themes and browsers cache aggressively. Changes normally appear within a minute of publishing.

This is almost always a theme layering (z-index) or position conflict. Try switching the bar Position (Top or Bottom) or toggling Sticky in the Design tab. If it persists on your theme, send us the store URL via in-app chat - a small Custom CSS tweak usually fixes it, and we're happy to provide it.

Uninstall is a one-click action from Shopify admin (Apps → Flexibar → Uninstall). When you remove the app, all bars stop showing immediately and the theme app embed cleans itself up - no leftover code, no Liquid snippets, no JavaScript residue. If you later reinstall within 30 days, your bar configurations are restored automatically.
