# Change the reward bar messages

> Edit what the bar says while shoppers progress and when they unlock every reward, with live amounts.

Open the **Reward bar** card and edit the two fields under **Content**. **In-progress message** shows while a reward is still locked. **All promotions unlocked message** shows when every tier is unlocked.

## Change the text

1. In Shopify admin, open **Apps** → **Section Store** → **Cart Drawer**.
2. Click **Edit** on your cart.
3. Under **Body**, open the **Reward bar** card.
4. Edit **In-progress message**. The default is "Add {{amount_remaining}} to unlock {{next_tier_title}}."
5. Edit **All promotions unlocked message**. The default is "All rewards unlocked!"
6. Click the code icon in a field to insert a variable.
7. Click **Save**.

## Variables

The code icon offers these four:

- **Remaining amount:** `{{remaining_amount}}`. The amount left to the next tier, or the items left when you unlock by quantity.
- **Tier threshold:** `{{tier_threshold}}`. The next tier's threshold.
- **Progress percent:** `{{progress_percent}}`. How far along the whole bar the cart is.
- **Tier title:** `{{tier_title}}`. The next tier's title. Once every tier is unlocked, it is the last one.

You can also type these:

- `{{amount_remaining}}`: the same as `{{remaining_amount}}`.
- `{{next_tier_title}}`: the next tier's title.
- `{{unlocked_tier_title}}`: the last tier unlocked.
- `{{discount}}`: the tier's discount, like 10%. On a gift tier, it prints "Free gift".
- `{{cart_total}}`: the cart total, not the amount left.
- `{{item_count}}`: the items in the cart.

Variables show in bold. To show them plain, untick **Amounts in bold**.

## Tier titles

Each tier has its own **Title**. It shows on the bar. Its code icon offers **Discount** and **Tier threshold**.

These variables work on the bar only. **Free shipping** and **Free gift** tiers show their title at checkout exactly as you typed it, so `{{discount}}` prints there as plain text. Leave variables out of those titles. **Order discount** tiers are safe, because checkout shows "-10%" for them instead of the title.

## Good to know

- A cleared message field shows nothing. Use that if you want the bar alone.
- **Text align** sets left, center or right.
- **Message** puts the text **Above the bar** or **Below the bar**. **Text size** and **Message in capitals** sit next to it.
- To translate your text, use the **Translations** page. Keep every variable as it is.

## If it doesn't work

- **The message shows the cart total instead of the amount left:** replace `{{cart_total}}` with `{{remaining_amount}}`.
- **A variable shows as plain text:** check its spelling and both pairs of braces.
- **No message shows:** the field is empty. Type your text again.
