Where do your customers see your latest offer before they start browsing?
Message Bar is a Smartarget app that puts a slim announcement bar at the top of your store, so every visitor sees your news without a popup interrupting them. Use it for a free-shipping threshold, a seasonal discount, a delivery delay, or anything else customers should know before they add to cart. It stays visible, and it stays out of the way. In this guide, you'll learn how to install Message Bar, connect it to your Smartarget account, and manage it from your store.
To connect Message Bar, open (My installed apps) from your dashboard's side menu, browse the Salla App Store, and install the app. Choose a plan, grant the requested permissions, click (Activate app), then paste your Smartarget user ID into the field provided and click (Save).
