✅ Advanced delivery rule automation
✅ Enterprise-grade accuracy & control
✅ No developer setup required
Compared to Zapiet and ShipperHQ, Flare offers native Shopify checkout support, accurate delivery rules by postcode and shipping method, and easier setup — without needing a developer or ongoing custom logic.
