"A free shipping bar is enough incentive to spend more"

Each shopper gets a target set just above where they already are.

HOW IT WORKS
Here's what happens from the moment
a shopper hits your threshold.
No configuration per session. You set the rules once — BuddyBoost runs the goal automatically for every qualifying cart.
01
Cart crosses your threshold
The moment a shopper's cart hits your minimum value, BuddyBoost activates silently. No interruption — just a goal that starts counting down.
02
A live cart goal appears
The shopper sees a personal target — exactly how much they need to add to earn a reward. Not a generic bar. A goal built around their session.
03
They get paired with a live buddy
Another shopper on your store right now gets added to the goal. Both see each other's real-time progress. The competitive urgency is instant.
04
Hit the goal — earn the discount
Both hit their targets. A session-bound code auto-applies at checkout. If anyone tries to share it, the Checkout Extension strips it immediately.

WHY BUDDYBOOST
Give every shopper a live cart goal worth hitting.
Short explanation up top. Let the screenshots carry the rest.
"Discount codes motivate spending"
Earned discounts feel different
The reward unlocks only after the shopper hits the live goal.
- Codes are tied to the shopper session
- Auto-applies at checkout
"Referrals are how you make shopping social"
Live pairing adds urgency
Two active carts can race toward the same goal in real time.
- Pairs live shoppers in under 2 seconds
- Single-shopper mode if traffic is low
"AOV apps require a developer or theme edits"
Setup stays Shopify-native
Enable the app embed, configure your goal, and go live.
- No theme file edits
- Checkout Extensibility support

SETUP
No theme code. No developer. Just three steps in your Shopify admin.
Most AOV apps break the moment you update your theme. BuddyBoost uses App Embeds — Shopify's own architecture for reliable, update-safe integrations.
Install free on Shopify
Free plan · Takes 5 minutes
1
Install BuddyBoost from the App Store
One click. Your Shopify permissions are requested and the app is connected. No developer involved.
2
Enable the App Embed in your theme
Navigate to your theme editor, flip the BuddyBoost embed toggle to on. That's the entire theme integration.
3
Configure your first cart goal
Set your threshold, reward percentage, and goal window. Save. BuddyBoost is now live for every qualifying session.
Traditional referral programs are asynchronous: "Send a link to a friend, wait for them to buy." BuddyBoost is synchronous: "Shop with someone right now." It captures customers who are already on your site and uses social pressure/gamification to increase their order value immediately.
No. We use a proprietary security feature ("Session-Bound Discounts") that cryptographically ties the discount code to the specific shopper's session. If they send the code to a friend, our Checkout Extension will detect the mismatch and remove the code from the friend's cart.
Yes, BuddyBoost works with any Online Store 2.0 theme (Dawn, Sense, Prestige, etc.) via App Embeds. It does not require any code edits to your theme files.
We charge based on live cart goal sessions. A session is counted when a unique visitor joins the matching queue (i.e., adds enough items to hit your Cart Threshold). We do not charge a percentage of your revenue.
No. BuddyBoost uses a lightweight script derived from Cloudflare's edge network. The heavy lifting (matching logic) happens on our servers, not your customer's device.
