See every featureA 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.
ZipGuard hides specific shipping rates based on the customer's zip or postal code, so you stop fulfilling orders you can't deliver and protect your margins. Built on Shopify Functions (WebAssembly), it works on ALL plans (Basic, Advanced, and Plus) with no checkout UI extension. It runs natively inside checkout with no slow-downs and no flicker.
