How do I limit the number of orders per day or time slot?

To limit orders per time slot on Shopify, set a maximum order count for each time slot (or each day) in Bird’s Configure Availability settings. When a slot fills, it disables automatically in the date picker, so customers can’t overbook it.

When you reach your set limit, that day or time slot automatically disables in the widget. This prevents customers from selecting unavailable options.

Follow these steps to configure order limits:

1. Navigate to Bird Settings
   • Choose Pickup and Delivery/Configure Locations or Shipping settings
2. Scroll down to Configure Availability
3. Enter your maximum daily order count
   • If using time slots, set limits for each specific slot

Once configured, the system automatically manages availability based on your limits.

You’re done! The order limits will immediately take effect and protect your capacity.

Order limits are available with Growth and Scale subscription plans. For detailed setup instructions, see Store Pickup: Order Limits.

Depending on your delivery method, you may also need to Store Pickup: Configure Availability or Store Pickup: Preparation Time.
