Options of each shortcode are described in the Features above and in the plugin settings page.

add_filter( 'shipbar_threshold', function ( $value ) {
	// Change $value here.
	return $value;
}, 10, 1 );

Updates

Updates are free. When a new version is out, it appears in Dashboard › Updates of your WordPress site and you can install it in one click, or turn on automatic updates in Plugins. This works for the zip downloaded from your Woo-Plugins account; older copies can be replaced by downloading the latest version from My plugins. See the changelog.
