The Challenge
Clearwater Seafoods, a leading Canadian frozen seafood brand, needed full control over delivery logic in Shopify Plus — especially by customer postcode, shipping method, and delivery day availability.
Their previous setup relied on custom scripts and developer-managed workarounds, which made it hard to reflect available delivery windows by region, and resulted in frequent customer confusion and support tickets.
They also needed to account for cold-chain delivery constraints — ensuring customers only saw dates that aligned with freezer van routes and shipping cut-offs.
Why Clearwater Chose Flare
Flare allowed Clearwater to:
Set delivery date availability by postcode or shipping zone
Configure cut-off times and lead times by method (e.g. next-day air, standard frozen ground)
Eliminate the need for developer maintenance and custom logic
The switch gave the ops team full control — without relying on technical resources or risking delivery errors.
Getting Set Up
The Clearwater team installed Flare’s delivery date picker on their Shopify checkout, then applied:
Zip code-based rules
Shipping method logic for UPS and FedEx
Cut off times and black out dates by shipping location
They also enabled auto-tagging to help warehouse staff prepare and dispatch orders on the right days — streamlining every handoff from online to delivery.
Results
Flare eliminated the need for custom delivery scripts and replaced them with visual shipping logic the team could manage themselves.
✅ $14,000+ saved in developer and manual support time
✅ 90% fewer order edits, thanks to automated rules
✅ 3+ hours/week saved, freeing up the operations team
✅ Clearer delivery windows = fewer support tickets
