What you can do with Barnest
Countdown timers
Run flash sales with a timer that counts down to a fixed date, or an evergreen countdown that restarts for each visitor.
Live free-shipping bar
Show how close shoppers are to free shipping — the message updates instantly from their real cart total as they add items.
Scrolling or rotating messages
Scroll a marquee, or rotate up to 5 messages — each with its own link to a product, collection or page.
Scheduling & targeting
Schedule bars for a date range and show them only on specific pages, collections or countries.

Match your store with complete control over colours, fonts and spacing, plus position, animation and sticky display options.

Data & privacy
Barnest doesn't collect any data about your customers. It only needs basic details about the store owner (name, email, phone number and address), and stores just what it needs to run for your shop — like your shop's domain and subscription status. Uninstalling deletes that data within 48 hours.

Barnest FAQ
How much does Barnest cost?
$1 a month, billed through Shopify, with a 5-day free trial.
Do I need to edit my theme or write code?
No. Barnest works without coding or theme edits — you set everything up with simple controls.
What's an evergreen countdown?
Instead of ending on one fixed date for everyone, an evergreen countdown runs for a set duration for each visitor — useful for ongoing “limited time” offers.
How does the free-shipping bar work?
It reads the shopper's real cart total and updates instantly as they add items, showing how much more they need to spend to unlock free shipping.
Can I show different bars on different pages?
Yes — schedule bars by date range and target them by page, collection or country.
Can shoppers close the bar?
Yes. Customers can dismiss it, with an option for the bar to reappear after 24 hours.
Does Barnest access my customers' data?
No. It has no access to customer information — only basic store owner details.
