How to Integrate Bird Pickup & Delivery with Subscription Apps
Integrate Bird Pickup & Delivery with your subscription apps to automate delivery scheduling for recurring orders.
This guide shows you how to configure rates and manage recurring orders when using subscription apps with Bird Pickup & Delivery.
Configure Rates for Subscription Apps
Set up shipping rates that work seamlessly with your subscription app's recurring orders.
You have two options for configuring rates:
Option 1: Configure Rates via Shopify Admin
Use Shopify's built-in rate configuration for subscription orders. This approach works with basic rules but offers limited automation for recurring orders.
Option 2: Use Bird App with CCS (Recommended)
Enable Carrier-Calculated Shipping (CCS) in the Bird app for dynamic rate calculation.
Important: CCS automatically converts weights from kilograms to grams. Adjust your weight-based rates accordingly. This ensures accurate delivery calculations for all subscription order weights.
CCS support varies by Shopify plan:
Plan | CCS Support |
|---|---|
Starter | No |
Basic | No |
Shopify | Can be enabled |
Advanced | Yes |
Plus | Yes |
Enable CCS in Bird App
- Open your Bird app dashboard
- Navigate to Rates
- Enable Carrier-Calculated Shipping under Rates Engine
- Configure your rate rules
Manage Recurring Order Tags and Metafields
Automate recurring order management using Shopify Flow integration.
Use Shopify Flow to automatically update tags and metafields for subscription orders, including delivery date tracking for recurring orders. For an example of adding delivery dates to order metafields, see Attach Delivery Date to Order Metafields Using Shopify Flow.
