Setting up Barly in two minutes

Install, design a bar and switch on the theme embed — the third step is the one people forget.

📣 Barly3 min readUpdated 2026-08-24

Barly puts a bar at the top or bottom of your storefront: a free shipping progress bar that counts down as the cart fills, a countdown, or an announcement. Setup is three steps.

Without the third step nothing appears in your store. The app can be fully configured and still invisible, because the theme embed is what actually draws the bar.

How to check it worked

Open your storefront. The bar is part of the very first HTML the page delivers, so it appears instantly — no flicker, no jumping content. In the app, the dashboard shows when your storefront last requested the bar.

The embed is a theme app extension. Nothing is written into your theme files, so switching it off removes the bar instantly and leaves nothing behind.
