Set a default weight unit for shipping rates

Bird Pickup & Delivery merchants can now choose the weight unit their weight-based rates use: pounds, ounces, kilograms or grams. Your rates now work out correctly even when your products are weighed in different units.

Weight unit dropdown in Bird's Rates settings with pound, ounce, kilogram and gram

Where to set it

Bird Settings > Rates > Weight format

Example

A grocer in Sydney sets the weight unit to kilograms, then charges a higher delivery rate on orders over 10 kg, even though some products are listed in grams.

Things to know

  • Your existing setup was carried over automatically, so nothing changes until you pick a different unit.
