What Counts Toward a Spend Tier Goal

This article explains exactly which cart lines and amounts count toward a spend tier goal, so the progress bar matches what you expect.

Cart amount goals

The app adds up the price of each cart line after product-level discounts (sale prices, upsell discounts, product discount codes). Then:

Line or amount	Counts?
Regular products	Yes
Products added from an upsell offer	Yes, at their discounted price
Order upsells (shipping protection, gift wrapping, warranty)	Yes. Exclude the order upsell's product if you don't want it to count
Free gifts added by spend tiers	No, never
Products outside Count products from, or excluded	No
Shipping cost	No
Order-level discount codes	Depends on the reward, see below

Reward type	Goal measured
Order discount and Shipping discount	After order-level codes and other order discounts. If a code takes the total under the goal, the reward goes away
Free gift	Before order-level codes. The gift stays even if a code lowers the total

Checkout checks the goal again, so a reward can't stay on an order that no longer qualifies.

The app adds up the quantity of every line, except free gifts and excluded products. Order upsells count as items.

Each tier takes one product. Only that product counts. You can limit it to some variants and require a quantity, for example 2 units.

Exclusions apply to every tier on the bar. See Choose Which Products Count Toward Spend Tiers.

Question	Answer
Shipping insurance pushed the cart over free shipping	Exclude the insurance product
Can the goal use the price before discounts?	No. Cart amount goals use discounted line prices
Can a subscription product's own free shipping count?	No. Subscription perks from other apps aren't read
Can tiers hide when an excluded product is in the cart?	No. The bar stays visible and simply doesn't count that product
