The latest features, improvements, and fixes for Bird Pickup & Delivery.
The checkout extension’s delivery customisation was not correctly filtering shipping rates provided through Shopify’s native carrier service. Rates are now properly matched and displayed, ensuring customers only see applicable delivery options at checkout.
You can now create discount codes that are locked to a specific fulfillment method or location — pickup, delivery, or shipping. Discounts auto-apply when a customer selects the matching method at checkout, and cannot be reused on other methods. This closes the loophole where customers could copy a pickup discount code and apply it to a shipping order.
The checkout widget now batches cart attribute updates and skips writes when nothing has changed, reducing unnecessary network calls. Customers experience a snappier checkout flow, and a “Try again” action now appears if a save fails, so they can retry without refreshing the page.
Customers on mobile who selected a delivery date and time at checkout were seeing unfiltered shipping rates instead of the correct rates configured in Bird. Rates are now properly filtered on mobile, matching the desktop experience.
When you open the Bird order details action in Shopify admin, the location field now automatically selects the first available location for pickup & delivery based on the location order defined in your Bird appp dashboard locations settings page — saving you a click and ensuring the most relevant location is pre-selected.
Customer phone numbers from orders are now automatically sanitized to the international E.164 format when saved. This ensures compatibility with SMS providers and third-party integrations like delivery coordination services.
When editing order details in the Shopify admin, form fields could appear out of order or the panel would resize unexpectedly as the Bird extension loaded. Fields now appear together in the correct order from the start, with no layout jitter.
If you use the wildcard “*” SKU override to apply rules to all products, it was not matching products that had no SKU set. The wildcard now correctly matches all products, including those with a blank SKU.
The thank you page confirmation widget was displaying the store’s address in the store name section instead of showing both clearly. The widget now correctly displays your store name and address in their respective sections.
A new status block is now available in the Shopify admin order view and product page extensions, giving you a quick glance at Bird’s scheduling and delivery status without leaving the page you’re working on.
The v2 delivery dropdown could get stuck in a validating state at checkout even when all fields were properly selected, preventing customers from completing their order. The validation logic has been corrected.
If you configured a custom CSS selector to control where the Bird scheduling widget appears, Widget v2 was silently ignoring it and falling back to the default position. Your custom placement settings are now respected as configured.
Failed Google Maps API responses were being cached, causing persistent delivery zone lookup failures even after the underlying issue was resolved. Errors are no longer cached, and your Google Maps API key status is now visible so you can spot issues faster.
The minimum order value setting was not being enforced correctly, allowing customers to bypass the configured threshold. Orders below your minimum now properly show the restriction at checkout.
When updating delivery profiles, third-party carrier services were not being filtered by location availability, potentially showing carriers that don’t serve certain locations. Carriers are now correctly filtered based on where they actually operate.
On Shopify themes that use DOM morphing (such as Ritual), the checkout button could disappear after the Bird widget loaded. The widget now works correctly with these themes without interfering with page elements.
Customers can now check delivery or pickup availability directly from the product page — before adding items to their cart. This helps set expectations early and reduces abandoned checkouts when a customer’s address isn’t in your delivery zone.
Rate names using {{selected_date}} and {{selected_time}} variables in carrier-calculated shipping were not substituting properly, showing raw template text to customers. Variables now resolve correctly so customers see the actual date and time at checkout.
You can now grant Bird permission to read all shop orders, extending order data retention from 60 days up to 365 days. This means your reports, analytics, and order history stay complete for a full year without any data gaps.
You can now assign custom colors to Google Calendar events based on fulfillment method — pickup, delivery, or shipping — and a separate color for fulfilled orders. Spot order types at a glance without opening individual events, making your daily schedule easier to manage.
Draft orders now support scheduling sync, similar to POS orders. Use the checkbox to unlock all available dates and assign a delivery or pickup slot before converting the draft to a live order.
You can now pause automated report emails by simply clearing the email address field — no need to delete and reconfigure the entire report. Add the email back anytime to resume delivery with all your settings intact.
When setting up rates with {{selected_date}} or {{selected_time}} variables, the preview now shows how the rate name will actually appear to customers at checkout — for example, “Pickup on May 19, 2026 at 03:45 PM” instead of raw template text. Confirm your formatting is correct without leaving the settings page.
Shipping profiles and zones in the rates preview are now collapsible. If you have many zones configured, collapse the ones you don’t need to focus on — reducing visual clutter and making it easier to review your rate setup.
The Rates setup page now highlights gaps in your delivery rate configuration — whether by price, weight, order day, or selected day conditions. Catch missing ranges before customers hit checkout and see no delivery options.
When non-scheduled orders were later scheduled through the Bird admin extension, duplicate Google Calendar events could appear. Each order now creates only one calendar event, keeping your schedule clean and accurate.
Postal codes containing spaces (common in the UK and Canada) were being incorrectly sanitized at checkout, causing delivery availability checks to fail. Spaces are now preserved correctly so customers can enter their postal code naturally.
Product SKUs containing apostrophes (e.g., Mother’s-Day-Cake) were causing the v1 scheduling widget to break with a JavaScript error. Special characters in SKUs are now handled safely.
Blockout dates were displaying one day behind for merchants in US and Canadian timezones — picking May 10th would show May 9th. The timezone offset during date rendering has been corrected so what you pick is what you see.
Stores with a large number of installed themes were unable to load the Language Settings page. This has been fixed so translation customization works regardless of how many themes your store has.
Your staff can now reach customers directly from the order notification email — no need to log into Shopify just to find a phone number or email. This means quicker communication when there’s a delivery delay, a substitution, or a scheduling question, reducing back-and-forth and keeping customers happy.
Customers who select a delivery date and postal code will now see their choices preserved when they return to the cart — no need to re-enter anything. If a postal code is entered for an area without local delivery, it will no longer persist and trigger a misleading ‘delivery not available’ error on the next load.
Merchants using Bird with Shopify POS can now rely on carrier-calculated shipping rates being applied correctly when processing scheduled orders via the Bird: Schedule Order tile. The right delivery cost is charged every time — keeping fulfillment consistent and eliminating manual rate adjustments at the counter.
SMS notifications were failing with a Liquid template error when certain order fields — such as customer name or contact info — were absent. These fields now gracefully handle missing data, so your SMS notifications send reliably even for guest checkouts or orders with incomplete customer profiles.
Merchants creating custom sale orders (which have no cart items) were previously blocked from fetching delivery, pickup, or shipping availability — receiving a validation error instead. The calendar API now accepts these requests, so your team can schedule custom sale orders without interruption.
The Bird scheduling widget now automatically inserts in the correct position on stores using the Pesto theme — right before the checkout button. No manual theme customization or code edits required.
SMS Order Notifications Now Live for US & Canada Merchants : You can now send SMS notifications to your customers for order updates — alongside email, ensuring they stay informed through the channel they check most. Currently available for merchants in the US and Canada. This helps reduce missed pickups and delivery confusion, especially for time-sensitive orders.
Calendar Dates Stay Disabled After Cart Updates on Broadcast Theme : On stores using the Broadcast theme, unavailable dates in the scheduling calendar were becoming clickable whenever a customer updated their cart (e.g., changed item quantity). This caused customers to select dates that should not be available. The issue is now fixed — blocked-out dates stay correctly disabled throughout the shopping session.
Setting up the Bird widget just got easier. The App Embed onboarding section now shows a looping GIF that walks you through enabling the widget step by step — no need to open a video or leave the page. Merchants new to Bird can get up and running faster with less guesswork.
You can now generate a full set of time slots instantly by selecting a start time, end time, and interval — no more adding slots one by one. The app creates all sequential ranges and appends them to your selected day, making it much faster to set up or update your availability windows for daily operations or special event periods.
Staff can now scan a customer’s security QR code directly from the POS Orders screen to instantly find and verify their pickup order. Once scanned, the app opens the matched order and gives the option to mark it as complete — no manual searching required. This speeds up handoffs, reduces errors, and creates a more professional pickup experience for customers.
You can now customize the error messages shown to customers when they try to check out without filling in required fields — including date, time, postal code/address, and order notes. Each message can be translated and tailored to match your store’s tone, helping customers quickly understand exactly what they need to complete their order.
When creating a delivery rate, you can now apply common presets like Same Day or Next Day with a single click to auto-fill the rate conditions. A live preview shows exactly how the rate will appear to customers at checkout — including the formatted price and ‘FREE’ label for zero-cost rates — so you can be confident in what you’re publishing.
You can now type and add a brand-new product tag directly in the tag field, even if it doesn’t exist in your store yet. If no matching tags are found, an ‘Add custom tag’ action appears inline — no need to navigate away to create the tag first. This keeps your product rule configuration flowing without interruptions.
Order source name and order number are now reliably captured and stored when orders sync from Shopify. Previously, some orders were missing these fields, making it harder to track where orders originated. This fix ensures complete order data is always available in the app.
Orders that were created in Shopify before you installed Bird are now updated correctly when those orders are modified. Previously, changes to older orders were being skipped, which could result in outdated order data in the app. All orders within your configured lookback window will now stay in sync.
Scheduling Widget No Longer Appears Twice on Horizon Theme : If you’re using Shopify’s Horizon theme, the Bird scheduling widget was appearing twice inside the cart drawer. This is now fixed — your customers will see a single, clean widget every time they open the cart.
Order Calendar Filters Now Persist While You Work : Filters you apply in the Orders calendar now stay in place as you navigate within the orders section — no more losing your filter selections mid-session. We also removed the automatic pre-selection of the first location, so the calendar now shows all locations by default until you choose one.
POS Checkout Now Respects Product Tag-Based Restrictions : Merchants using Bird with Shopify POS can now rely on product tag rules to correctly filter available pickup locations and delivery time slots at checkout. Previously, tag-based restrictions weren’t being applied in the POS flow — this is now fixed, ensuring customers only see the options that match their cart.
Background Order Cleanup No Longer Fails Due to Subscription Data Conflicts : A backend issue was causing scheduled jobs that clean up old orders to fail silently. This has been resolved — housekeeping runs smoothly now, keeping your app performant and storage lean over time.
Enterprise merchants can now configure delivery rates using weight multipliers. This gives you more granular control over pricing for heavier orders, so your delivery rates accurately reflect the real cost of fulfillment.
** New Features**
Driving Distance-Based Rates — Delivery rates can now be calculated using actual driving distance (via Google Maps) instead of straight-line radius. This gives merchants more accurate delivery pricing and eligibility checks based on real road distances.
Sync Schedule Mode in Pos — Keeps your POS and online schedules perfectly in sync, eliminating manual updates and reducing errors. This ensures staff always see the correct pickup or delivery availability at the POS, preventing double bookings, missed orders, and customer confusion—especially during busy store hours.
Draft Orders Tab — A dedicated Draft Orders tab is now available on the Orders page, making it easy to switch between finalized orders and pending quotes without losing your place. No more mixing up completed sales with works-in-progress.
Improvements
Order Calendar Filters — All filters are now available on the Order Calendar page, so you can narrow down orders by date, status, and more directly from the calendar view.
Improved Preperation Time UX — Improved Preparation Time UI now lets merchants preview exactly what customers will see before saving. The Customer Experience preview clearly shows when orders become available — including the exact day bookings can start — reducing guesswork and unexpected blocked dates.
Location List UI Refresh — The location list has been cleaned up for a smoother, more intuitive experience when managing store locations.
Bug Fixes
Email Sender Name Fix — Fixed an issue where the sender name was missing on default notification emails. Customers will now see the correct business name.
Horizon Theme Display Fix — Resolved visual glitches in the Horizon storefront theme for a cleaner look.
Automate pickup, delivery, and shipping workflows with Shopify Flow: BirdChime now sends store pickup (click and collect), local delivery, and shipping order events directly into Shopify Flow, enabling merchants to automate actions like tagging orders, notifying teams, updating inventory, and managing delivery workflows. This is especially useful for stores running subscriptions with apps such as Appstle, where recurring pickup and delivery dates are automatically incremented for each subscription order without manual intervention. Refer the detailed guide [here] .(https://help.birdchime.com/en-us/article/shopify-flow-integration-guide-ewevp4/)
Few flows that can be created using bird app triggers through shopify flow
Automatic customer updates for delivery changes Customers are notified instantly when their delivery date changes, reducing support inquiries and keeping them informed.
Same-day delivery prioritisation Orders scheduled for delivery today are automatically marked as urgent, helping teams fulfill time-sensitive orders faster.
Location-based courier assignment Delivery orders can be routed to the right courier based on customer location, reducing manual work and improving delivery efficiency.
Pickup readiness alerts for store teams Store teams are notified when a pickup time is updated, ensuring orders are prepared on time and pickups run smoothly.
Restrict rates to specific delivery profiles and their zones: BirdChime now allows rates to be applied only to selected delivery profiles and their associated zones—such as offering different delivery rates for the USA and Canada—ensuring customers only see valid pricing at checkout and reducing configuration errors.
Configurable Delay for Order Tag Updates : Provides merchants with the ability or control to delay order tag updates, and preventing conflicts from other apps updating the orders tag simultaneously.
Included order note in Thank you/Customer Status Page: Displaying order notes on the customer order status page & thank you page reduces support inquiries, prevents fulfillment mistakes, and builds trust by clearly confirming that special instructions have been received. It creates a more transparent post-checkout experience for delivery and pickup while saving merchants time by eliminating manual follow-ups.
Error Handling in Rates Section : Users will no longer see confusing fallback-rate errors when Shopify shipping rates are active. Additionally, merchants can now view their Shopify-configured shipping rates directly inside the Bird app, making debugging significantly easier and eliminating unnecessary back-and-forth.
Bulk Edit Blockout Dates for Multiple Locations : Saves time, reduces manual work, and ensures consistent scheduling across locations—especially useful during holidays, special events, or operational downtime. Merchants can manage availability in one go with far fewer clicks.
Automated reports: With our new Automated Production Reports, you’ll always have a clear overview of your upcoming workload—without manually exporting or checking orders. Merchants can now choose to receive these reports weekly or monthly, ensuring you get insights at the rhythm that best fits your operations.
Exclude cancelled orders from Reserved slots & Order Calender : Cancelling an order now automatically frees up the booked slots, keeping your availability accurate at all times and ensuring customers can instantly book newly opened slots without any manual effort — and with the latest update, cancelled orders are no longer counted on the order calendar.
Better Fallback Handling for Product Overrides : Product Overrides now load more reliably, giving merchants a consistent, interruption-free experience when viewing or updating their settings.
Improved Country Selector by Syncing Shopify’s Latest Country List: Merchants now see the correct country names when updating a location, eliminating the previous “–” confusion. This ensures smoother setup, clearer configuration, and greater confidence while managing location settings.
Delivery Note for Shipping Option: Let customers leave order notes or special requests with their shipping orders to ensure smooth fulfillment and fewer follow-ups. You can also make this note mandatory if it’s essential for processing orders.
Location selection issue in inventory: For single-location stores, the dropdown now accurately reflects inventory mapping and correctly shows available location options to select, preventing any incorrect fulfillment location usage.
Collector name and email field as order note variables: You can now include the Collector’s Name and Email as variables in your order notes. This makes it easier to identify and contact the person collecting the order directly from your packaging slip , helping your fulfillment team avoid confusion and ensure smooth, personalized pickups.
Two powerful integrations have been added to enhance order management for Shopify merchants using Bird Pickup & Delivery. Both connections can be activated directly from the Bird dashboard, enabling more automation and operational control without additional setup complexity.
Recharge Integration — Smarter Subscription Scheduling
Merchants can now seamlessly connect Recharge with Bird right from the Bird dashboard.
Key Capabilities
Stuart Integration — Reliable Last-Mile Deliveries
We’ve also partnered with Stuart, a leading last-mile logistics provider trusted across major European markets.
Highlights:
Getting Started
Improved UI while configuring widget : Merchants can now update widget settings and instantly preview the changes side-by-side on desktop. This removes the need to toggle between edit and preview modes, making customization easier and faster.
Implement Search & pagination in Bird locations: Merchants can quickly find and manage their store locations with ease, making it simpler to update or review delivery settings even when they have many locations. The enhanced performance ensures faster load times and smoother navigation, providing a more efficient experience when managing a large number of locations.
Improved Order Attributes Discrepancy : Any orders that were missing details will now be automatically updated with the correct information. This means your Bird Orders dashboard will stay accurate and your notification emails will always go out as intended.
Radius Based Delivery in Checkout Extension: You can now use distance-based delivery scheduling and shipping rate calculation directly in the checkout widget for shopify plus merchants. This is especially helpful in regions without postal codes (such as United Arab Emirates, São Tomé and Príncipe, Belize, Bahamas, Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba)—ensuring customers see the right delivery slots and charges before placing their order. The result: fewer errors, greater flexibility in managing delivery zones, and a smoother delivery experience.
Reliable subscription order processing : We’ve improved order handling to make sure subscription orders are never skipped. Even if certain settings might block incomplete orders, subscription orders will always go through—ensuring consistent order flow.
Control Pickup and Delivery Email Notification : Gives you full control over automatic email updates for order pickups and deliveries. Whether you’re a baker handing over fresh cakes or a farmer delivering produce, you can choose to keep customers informed in real time or turn off notifications if you prefer to share updates yourself. This flexibility helps you manage customer communication, reduce unnecessary emails, and create the exact experience you want for your buyers.
Product-Level Time Slots (Beta) : You can now configure custom delivery, pickup, or shipping time slots for individual products. This means you can set unique available dates, block out specific days (such as Sundays), or create dedicated slots for special occasions. For example, if you run a bakery that delivers most cakes daily but want to offer a limited-edition Valentine’s cake only on February 13–14 with specific pickup or delivery times, you can now assign those slots just to that product without changing your standard delivery schedule. This added flexibility makes it easier to manage special products while providing customers with a seamless and tailored experience.
Widget Icon Customization : Customize our app widget look by replacing default delivery icons with your own branded visuals. This creates a more cohesive shopping experience.
Import Locations in Bulk : You can now import locations through csv file and save a lot of time adding new locations for delivery and pickup
Now the widget preview you see while setting things up looks and works the same as it will for your customers — no surprises. Your delivery area check (like “we only deliver within 10 km”) will show correctly while you’re testing.Your product settings will be applied exactly as you choose, without mixing in things you didn’t want.
We’ve improved how active locations are counted. The system now only includes your actual Shopify store locations (with a valid Shopify ID) and avoids duplicates or virtual locations. This ensures more accurate counts, so your feature limits and access work correctly without being affected by virtual or test locations.
We’ve made onboarding smarter! The app now auto-detects whether your store should use single or multi-location mode. If multiple locations exist without postal codes, it defaults to your first location, ensuring at least one valid setup is always active and preventing delivery errors.
Targeted Scheduling for Customer Segments: You can now tailor the scheduling experience for different customer groups! Show or hide your pickup and delivery widgets based on customer tags. This makes it easy to offer a more personalized and engaging experience for every shopper.
Order Date and Time Editing: Made a mistake or need to reschedule? No problem. You can now edit the order date and time after checkout—giving you more flexibility and reducing the need to contact support. Available in Premium plan and above.
Improved Widget Compatibility for New Shopify Themes: Shopify recently released new themes where our widget needed layout and styling refinements. We’ve now fully optimized the widget for the following themes: Horizon, Savor, Vessel, Atelier, and Heritage. Your widget will look polished and professional on these themes right out of the box.
More Reliable Order Limits & Pickup Handling: We fixed bugs that caused pickup orders to be fetched with LocationId as nil — pickup orders now always have a location assigned as expected.
Sanitize SKUs When Creating or Updating Rates SKUs are now automatically cleaned up when you create or update rates. Unwanted spaces and brackets ( ) are removed before saving, so your rates always match the right products at checkout — giving your customers a smoother, error-free experience.
Scrollbar Display on Firefox Fixed: We resolved a scrollbar display issue that was appearing in the app dashboard for some users on the Firefox browser on certain devices. Your dashboard will now look cleaner and work more smoothly across browsers.

We’re excited to introduce Per-Order Billing in the Bird Pickup and Delivery App—ensuring Shopify merchants can continue to offer pickup, local delivery, and shipping schedules even after reaching their monthly order limit.
Previously, exceeding your monthly order limit (e.g., 1,000 orders in the Advance Plan) could disrupt service. With Per-Order Billing, you can choose to continue processing extra orders by setting a custom limit and enabling per-order charges at $0.05 per order. This ensures uninterrupted service while giving you full control over additional billing—nothing happens automatically, and you decide how much you want to extend your limit.
✅ No Disruptions: Keep the Bird App active even after reaching your monthly order limit.
✅ Seamless Scheduling: Continue offering pickup and delivery date selection during peak sales.
✅ Cost-Effective: Pay only for extra orders rather than upgrading to a higher plan.
✅ Full Control: Set and update your own monthly limit to manage spending and prevent unexpected charges.
✅ Transparent Billing: Nothing is charged automatically—you must opt-in and set your own limits.
A merchant on the Advance Plan (1,000 orders/month) processes 1,100 orders in December. The additional 100 orders incur a total charge of $5—seamless, predictable, and affordable.
Open the Bird Pickup and Delivery App.
Navigate to the Subscriptions page. If you have already reached 85% of your order limit, you will see the update limit feature.
Enable the feature and set your preferred monthly limit to stay in control of your budget.
You can increase or decrease the app spending limit at any given time.
Activate Per-Order Billing now and keep your Shopify store running smoothly, even during peak sales.

Dear valued customer,
We are thrilled to introduce a new feature that allows you to set rates for all delivery methods. With this feature, you can customize your s hipping/delivery rates on the basis of multiple conditions.
You can configure the shipping rates based on order value, delivery day, and product weight. Simply select the delivery method, select the condition type, specify the minimum and maximum values, and configure the rate.
You have the flexibility to create rates of multiple conditions. We feel that this feature will provide you with more flexibility and customization options when configuring the Rates.
If you have any questions or need assistance, our customer support team is here to help.
Thank you for choosing our app.
This means that our app loads within Shopify’s dashboard and it is optimized to load much faster even on mobile devices after the first load.
Now you can easily restrict the products that can be delivered or picked up from your store using product tags as shown in the screenshot above.
If you have multiple physical locations of your store, now you can configure different schedule for different locations.
Now you can view upcoming deliveries by sorting the orders by the delivery date. And search orders by order number in the app’s orders page.
Using our Create draft order feature, you can have a draft order with having date and time selected by you. Goto the orders tab and click on Create draft order to try it now.
Our google calendar integration is live. Now you can sync your orders in the form of Google events.
