Why Shipping Method Logic Matters

• Customers expect different delivery timelines and flexibility for “Next Day” vs. “Standard”

• Shipping rates need to adjust for different shipping methods and delivery days (e.g. weekends) to cover margins

• Offering the same delivery calendar for all methods leads to confusion, operational errors or refunds

How to Set It Up

1. Go to Shipping Logic in Flare

   • Create a new rule

   • Choose the condition: Shipping method is “Standard”, “Next Day”, “Saturday Delivery”, etc.

   
   

2. Assign logic per method

   • Set cut-off times, lead times, or available weekdays

   • E.g. Standard: 2-day lead time, no weekends

   • Next Day: Order before 2pm for next-day delivery

   
   

3. Assign shipping rates

   • Set shipping rates for each shipping method

   
   

4. Preview results on your storefront

   • Test the full checkout flow with different shipping methods selected

Bonus Tip: Combine with product or postcode rules for advanced logic (e.g. Frozen + Standard → block weekends)
