cart total variable without currency

[SpecTech]

Hi,

I am building a plugin in the checkout that tells them how much more they need to spend until they qualify for free delivery.

however I cannot find the variable for the cart total that does not have the currency sign I need plain numbers like "19.00" any ideas what the variable is?

If you still want the cart total displayed with the currency symbol but use the actual value in calculation then I think you will have to strip the first character yourself in js or php.

any ideas on how I can remove the £ sign in the variable in php before it is calculated?

Not sure if it is exactly what you are after but the AUG explains adding a countdown to free shipping.
