Step 3: Format Display (Optional)

For better formatting, navigate to Bird App Settings > Notifications > Customer notifications > Edit packaging slip.

</p>

{% for note_item in note_array %}
   <p class="notes-details">{{ note_item }}</p>
{% endfor %}

That's it! Your packaging slips will now display the delivery date and time information clearly.

Translate Date/Time Labels (Optional)

Customize the display language for your packaging slips.

Replace the formatting code from Step 3 with this translation-ready version:

{% assign note_array = order.note | split: " | " %}
{% for note_item in note_array %}
   {% assign translated_item = note_item %}
   {% if note_item contains "Delivery Method" %}
      {% assign translated_item = note_item | replace: "Delivery Method", "Bezordmethode" %}
   {% endif %}
   {% if note_item contains "Delivery Date" %}
      {% assign translated_item = note_item | replace: "Delivery Date", "Bezorgdatum" %}
   {% endif %}
   {% if note_item contains "Delivery Time" %}
      {% assign translated_item = note_item | replace: "Delivery Time", "Aflevertijd" %}
   {% endif %}
   {% if note_item contains "Delivery Location" %}
      {% assign translated_item = note_item | replace: "Delivery Location", "bezorglocatie" %}
   {% endif %}
   <p class="notes-details">{{ translated_item }}</p>
{% endfor %}

Important: Replace the Dutch translations above with your preferred language terms. For example, for Spanish: "Método de entrega," "Fecha de entrega," "Hora de entrega," "Ubicación de entrega."
