Why am I seeing an error about "shipping.shipping_method_title"?

The Bird Pickup & Delivery app helps you easily resolve shipping method title issues with simple reinitialization steps.

This error occurs when the checkout process expects a shipping method title string but receives an empty value instead. The Bird app provides tools to quickly detect and resolve these configuration issues for you.

Quick Fix: Reset Theme Widget

1. Navigate to Bird App Settings > Widget Placement
2. Click Select a theme to install widget
3. Change to a different theme, then back to your original theme
4. Click Add widget in theme to reinstall
5. You will be navigated to Shopify theme customizer, from there, toggle the widget on and off

The Bird app's built-in validation helps detect and resolve placement-related title issues during reinitialization.

Alternative Fix: Update Checkout Language

If widget reset doesn't work, the Bird app offers two ways to fix empty shipping title labels:

Quick Auto-Fix Option:

1. Go to Bird App Settings > Text & Languages
2. Click Edit next to your language
3. Scroll to Checkout Page section
4. Look for Fix Locale button - if it's not grayed out, click it to automatically resolve missing titles

Manual Customization Option:

1. Click Edit in theme under Delivery language locale
2. Search for shipping_method_title by pressing Ctrl/Cmd + F
3. Add space between the empty quotes for that property
4. Save changes to update checkout labels

This corrects empty shipping title strings that cause the checkout error.

You're done! The error should disappear from your checkout process.
