How it sells itself

A customer adds a 280-pound safe to your store. Subtotal hits $1,499. Your "Free shipping over $999" promotion fires. The order ships free. Weeks later, FedEx Freight bills you $487 you can't trace to any order. FreightGate finds this bleed automatically — it reads your catalog and recent orders, then shows you the exact orders where you gave freight away.

Shipping Rules gives merchants full control over checkout shipping options. Create rules that hide, rename, show only, or reorder shipping methods based on cart contents, address, order value, product tags, customer tags, collections, and more. Set conditions using AND/OR logic across 30+ types. Rules apply instantly at checkout through Shopify Functions.

Key points
  • Zero-Latency Execution: Native Wasm intercepts bad addresses in 1.2ms.
  • Liftgate & PO Box Shield: Structurally prevents invalid residential LTL selectio
  • B2B VIP Bypass: Use Customer Tags to exempt authenticated wholesale accounts.
  • Hide shipping methods by PO Box, country, cart value, product, or weight
  • Rename methods with custom labels, delivery estimates, or brand voice
  • 30+ condition types across cart, address, customer, and product categories
  • Reorder shipping methods by price, name, or custom drag-and-drop order

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 14, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
