Built for high-volume merchants.
Flare is built on Shopify's native infrastructure — not theme hacks. The numbers show it.
The numbers behind "it just runs itself."
Three metrics that define whether your delivery logic is actually working — and where Flare stands on each.
What makes Flare run itself.
Once configured, Flare handles delivery date logic automatically — no daily admin, no developer, no customer confusion.
Native checkout performance
Built on Shopify Functions and checkout extensibility — not theme hacks. Faster load times, no broken updates, full Shopify Plus compatibility out of the box.
Postcode-level precision
Show different available dates by delivery zone. London next-day. Scotland 3-day. Rural exceptions. All managed in one rules engine, no developer needed.
Automatic cutoff logic
Set your daily cutoff time once. Flare removes same-day options automatically after that time — no manual date blocking, no midnight firefighting.
Product-aware rules
Frozen goods need 2-day lead time. Fresh needs next-day. Standard ships same-day. Define rules per product or collection — customers only see dates they're eligible for.
Fulfilment stack integration
Delivery dates flow through to ShipStation, ShipBob, Recharge, and Klaviyo automatically. Your 3PL sees the date. Your email triggers on it. No manual re-entry.
