Block Shipping / Local Delivery / Pickup using Product availability

What is the Product Availability Feature?

The Product Availability feature in the Bird App allows you to control which products are available or unavailable for specific delivery methods— Shipping, Local Delivery, or Store Pickup—by using product tags. This feature is helpful when restricting certain delivery methods to particular products, improving control over fulfillment options.

When to Use Product Availability?

Use this feature when:

You only want to offer a delivery method (Local Delivery, Store Pickup, Shipping) for specific products.
You need to block certain delivery methods for other products.
You want to exclude certain products from a delivery method while keeping others available.

Note: Tags are case-sensitive. For example, "Delivery" and "delivery" are treated as two different tags. Ensure tags are applied correctly.
