How to set the maximum available days?

You'll limit how far ahead customers can book deliveries and pickups.


Maximum Available Days restricts your booking window for each delivery method. Set the total days (including today) customers see when selecting delivery dates. This setting counts all calendar days, including weekends and holidays.


Configure Maximum Available Days


Set booking limits for each delivery method independently.


  1. Open Bird App Settings
  2. Choose Your Delivery Method
  • Click Pickup & Delivery if you have same schedule across your store locations
  • Click Configure Locations for multi-location stores (only appears if you selected "different schedules for different locations")
  • Click Shipping for shipping method settings
  1. Select the delivery method you want to configure
  2. Set Your Day Limit
  • Scroll to the Blockout Dates section
  • Find Maximum Available Days
  • Enter your limit (5 = today + 4 more days, 7 = today + 6 more days, 14 = today + 13 more days)
  • Note: Blocked dates count toward this total
  • Click Save


Shows the Maximum Available Days field within the Blockout Dates settings where merchants enter the number of days customers can book in advance


  1. Verify Your Settings
  • Click Widget Preview
  • Confirm only your specified days appear
  • Test different dates to ensure limits work correctly


You're done. Customers now see only your approved booking window.


Customer Experience


Your booking limits create a focused shopping experience.


Without Day Limits

  • Calendar displays unlimited future dates
  • Customers see months of options
  • Creates booking overwhelm


With Day Limits

  • Calendar shows only your approved days
  • Future dates beyond your limit disappear
  • Creates focused decision-making


Example: 7-day limit on Tuesday

  • Customer sees Tuesday through next Monday
  • Next Tuesday and beyond are hidden
  • Calendar updates automatically each day
