Product Overview
FooBar WordPress Notifications PRO is a premium notification bar plugin built to turn passive visitors into leads and customers. Instead of cluttering your layout with popups, FooBar places slim, high-visibility bars exactly where attention naturally falls — top of page, bottom, sidebar, or inline within content. Every bar type is designed for a specific conversion goal: urgency, shipping incentives, list growth, or social amplification.
The plugin ships with four dedicated bar types, each deeply integrated with the tools you already use. The Countdown Bar injects scarcity into limited-time offers. The Free Shipping Bar connects to your WooCommerce cart and shows real-time progress toward the threshold. The Sign-Up Bar feeds subscribers directly into Mailchimp. The Click-to-Tweet Bar lets visitors share pre-written tweets with mentions and links in one click.
Key Features
- Four Purpose-Built Bar Types: Countdown, Free Shipping, Sign-Up (Mailchimp), Click-to-Tweet
- WooCommerce Free Shipping Integration: Auto-detects cart value, shows a progress slide as users add items, and displays a success message with a direct cart/checkout link when the threshold is met
- Mailchimp Sign-Up Integration: Capture email addresses straight from the bar — no separate form plugin required
- Click-to-Tweet Composition: Write the tweet, add URLs and @mentions, and visitors post it with one click
- 12 Display Positions: Top bar, bottom bar, left/right sidebars, full-screen sidebars, inline, and more
- Smart Trigger System: Time delay, exit intent, scroll depth, element visibility, and element hidden states
- Advanced Scheduling: Set start and end dates/times for every bar — perfect for flash sales and holiday campaigns
- Conditional Visibility: Show or hide bars by page, post type, category, user role, device, and referrer
- Design Control: Custom color schemes, gradients, icon swaps, font sizing, and animated button/toggle effects (pulse, swing, bounce)
Benefits

Why Choose FooBar PRO?
Most notification plugins force you to choose between power and simplicity. FooBar PRO delivers both: a focused set of bar types that each solve a real revenue problem, wrapped in a UI that doesn’t require a developer to configure. The WooCommerce and Mailchimp integrations are native — no webhooks, no Zapier, no custom code. Triggers and scheduling let you “set and forget” campaigns that would otherwise need daily manual toggling. And because every bar is lightweight CSS/JS, page speed stays intact.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does the free shipping bar work with variable products and coupons?
- Yes — it reads the live WooCommerce cart subtotal, so variable products, quantity changes, and applied coupons all update the progress slide in real time.
- Can I connect multiple Mailchimp audiences to different sign-up bars?
- The plugin supports one Mailchimp API connection per site. Each sign-up bar can map to a different audience/list within that account.
- Are bars responsive on mobile?
- Yes. All 12 positions adapt to mobile viewports; sidebars collapse, top/bottom bars remain full-width, and inline bars flow with content.
- Can I show a bar only to visitors from a specific referral source?
- Yes. Conditional visibility includes referrer-based rules so you can target traffic from email campaigns, paid ads, or partner sites.
- Is there a limit on how many bars I can create?
- No. Create unlimited bars; only active bars per your scheduling and visibility rules will display.
Conclusion
FooBar WordPress Notifications PRO replaces a stack of single-purpose plugins — countdown timers, free shipping meters, email capture forms, social share tools — with one coherent system. If your site runs on WordPress and you care about converting traffic without degrading user experience, this is the notification layer your stack is missing.
