Bird Pickup and Delivery App - March Improvments & Fixes

** 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.
