Letting shoppers close it

Under Behaviour, Let shoppers close the bar adds a dismiss button. Choose how many days it stays closed for; zero keeps it closed for the rest of that visit only. The choice is remembered in the shopper's own browser, so it works on a cached site and nothing about them is stored on your server. Each site of a Multisite network remembers its own: closing the bar on one shop does not close it on another, even where the shops share one address, such as example.com/shop-a/ and example.com/shop-b/.

You can also delay the bar's first appearance, have it hide itself after a number of seconds, and turn off the celebration animation. Both timers run once per page view: a cart change updates the bar without starting the wait again, and a bar that has hidden itself stays hidden until the next page. The celebration plays once when the goal is reached — not again on every page after it — and stands aside for anyone whose system asks for reduced motion.

While it waits, and once it has hidden itself, the bar keeps its place on the page, invisible. The space it takes stays empty rather than closing up, so the rest of the page never jumps under the shopper's finger, and none of it counts against your page's layout-shift score in Core Web Vitals.
