How Exalt Boosted Conversions and Streamlined Operations with Flare’s Delivery Date Picker on Shopify Plus
In the fast-paced world of premium juices and wellness drinks, delivering a flawless customer experience isn't just a nice-to-have — it’s a revenue driver. For Exalt, a growing DTC brand offering high-performance nutrition drinks, the delivery experience was critical to customer satisfaction. But behind the scenes, their existing custom-built delivery date picker on the cart page was creating more problems than it solved.
The Challenge: A Broken, Costly Custom Solution on the Cart Page
Like many fast-scaling brands in the Food & Beverage sector, Exalt had initially opted for a custom delivery scheduling tool on the cart page. This allowed customers to select preferred delivery dates to suit their lifestyle — essential for a product category where freshness and timing matter.
However, this custom setup became a maintenance nightmare:
It was expensive and time-consuming to update or fix.
It frequently broke, causing friction at a critical point in the funnel.
It was located on the cart page, not the checkout — making it prone to being bypassed or missed entirely.
These issues translated to lost sales, frustrated customers, and support tickets for delivery date mix-ups.
The Solution: Moving to Shopify Plus Checkout with Flare’s Delivery Date Picker
To resolve these growing pains, Exalt partnered with Flare, the top-rated Shopify Plus app for delivery scheduling. With Flare’s Delivery Date Picker, Exalt moved the entire date selection experience to the Shopify checkout page — a high-converting, familiar touchpoint for customers.
🚀 Here’s what changed:
Checkout-native delivery date picker replaced the broken cart version.
No code, no developers — Flare’s app is plug-and-play with full Shopify Plus compatibility.
Customers now select their preferred delivery date directly at checkout, reducing errors and support tickets.
The Results: Higher Conversions and Happier Customers
After switching to Flare’s checkout-based delivery scheduling, Exalt saw an immediate and measurable impact:
⏱️ Saved time on internal development and support.
💰 Reduced maintenance costs by eliminating the need for a custom-coded tool.
🛒 Increased checkout conversions — by keeping users in a single, optimized flow.

“Flare’s app has transformed the delivery experience for Exalt. It’s simple, elegant, and powerful — giving our customers exactly what they need while freeing our team to focus on growth, not maintenance.”
