Your options

Three ways to handle delivery dates.
One clear choice.

Most merchants start with nothing, then consider custom code — but purpose-built wins every time.

Option 1
No solution
Customers guess — support queue fills up
Manual order coordination every day
No delivery date visibility at fulfilment
Missed deliveries → refunds and complaints
Scales badly — chaos at peak periods
~ £0 upfront, high hidden operational cost
Option 3
Custom code
~ Works initially — breaks after theme updates
Every rule change needs a developer
No native Shopify Plus checkout support
Months to build, weeks to maintain
No support when Shopify updates break it
~ £5K–£20K+ build cost + ongoing retainer

Built different

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.

💬

Support that responds

5.0 stars across 94 reviews isn't luck — it's a team that replies within hours, joins video calls when needed, and customises the app for edge cases.
