What's New

This Bird Pickup & Delivery update brings new order filters and 19 more fixes and improvements.

Orders and settings

• Filter orders by several locations at once, instead of one at a time.
• A new Tomorrow filter sits between Today and Last 30 days on the Orders page.
• Browse couriers by country on the Integrations page, to find the ones that serve your area.
• Copy and generate time slots on product overrides: copy a day’s slots to another day, or create several slots at once.
• Store locations get their map position from Shopify automatically, and you can still adjust it by hand.
• Syncing your Shopify locations keeps your own zone names and addresses.
• Postal codes save every time. New postal codes no longer disappear without a message.
• The up and down arrows work again on Max available days and Minimum order value.
• Pages in Bird stay working while we release an update, even if you have Bird open at the time.

Checkout and storefront

• Dates fit every product’s prep time. If a cart mixes items with different prep times, the calendar only shows dates when everything can be ready.
• Product page dates update when a customer picks a different variant.
• Calendar dates sit under the right weekday on every theme.
• The calendar stays visible when Auto-fill first slot is on and a customer switches between pickup and delivery.
• Switching from pickup to delivery no longer sends your store’s address to checkout.
• Sold-out time slots stay hidden in every time zone.
• Change more checkout labels, including Method description and Saved addresses heading, in any language.
• Widget preview works for stores that show the widget on only some products.

Orders from other apps and subscriptions

• Subscription dates update when you reschedule, along with their tags.
• Other apps can’t remove Bird’s tags on draft orders. Bird adds its tags and leaves everyone else’s in place.

SMS

• Your store name appears in SMS texts, so customers know who’s messaging them.
• SMS consent is saved exactly as the customer chose it at checkout.

This Bird Pickup & Delivery update brings custom discount names at checkout and 11 more fixes and improvements.

Checkout and storefront

• Name your discounts. Give any automatic discount your own name, in your language, and that’s what customers see in their cart and at checkout. Leave it blank to keep “Delivery Discount”.
• Customers can change their date and time again from the thank-you page and their account’s order page.
• Customers see why an address is or isn’t in your delivery area, with a clear message instead of just a coloured border.
• Time slot order limits work in every time zone.
• The calendar shows in the right place on every theme, including themes that reload the cart drawer, like Eurus.

Settings

• Past blockout dates clear themselves the next time you save a setting, so old dates no longer pile up.
• The Rates page only lists a location under Delivery or Pickup if that method is turned on there.
• Widget Preview opens on the location you came from, not the first one in the list.
• The fallback rate setting shows clearly when nothing is chosen.
• Google Calendar connects first time again.

Orders

• Draft orders get their delivery tags on the first save, and the booking shows straight away.
• Orders your staff create in Bird show real stock levels, not everything as in stock.

This Bird Pickup & Delivery update shows delivery times in your own time format, plus 8 more fixes.

Orders

• Delivery times follow your time format. The Orders page and the order details editor use your 12-hour or 24-hour setting everywhere, instead of a mix of both.
• Draft order details load in one go, with a single loading spinner instead of fields appearing one by one.

Checkout and storefront

• The chosen date and time stay put when the checkout page reloads.
• Draft orders keep their chosen time slot through checkout.
• Customers see why an address is or isn’t in your delivery area on stores that deliver by distance, instead of just a coloured border.
• Postal codes with a space, like UK postcodes, no longer flicker or gain a stray full stop while customers type on a Mac.
• Each pickup location shows the right kind of choice, a date only or a date and time, when your locations are set up differently.

Settings

• Widget Preview keeps your choices when you change the preview date, and the occasional “Save failed” message is gone.
• Removing a postal code keeps your place in the list, instead of jumping back to the top.

This Bird Pickup & Delivery update restores address checks at checkout for stores that deliver by distance, plus 4 more fixes.

Checkout

• Address checks at checkout work again for stores that deliver by distance. If a customer changes their address at checkout, Bird checks it again, so they see the right delivery rate.
• The date and time picker at checkout shows correctly in every shop language, and stores using the 24-hour clock see the time field again.

Orders and integrations

• Switching your connected Google account updates your calendar, instead of leaving old events behind. See Google Calendar.
• Orders from Recharge subscriptions now show in your Bird order history. See Recharge.
• Orders with a partial refund show the refund next to the original amounts.

Fixed an issue where some Shopify Plus stores that let customers pick their date at checkout could receive orders without a pickup or delivery date. The date a customer picks now stays on the order through checkout, even when delivery rates update.

This Bird Pickup & Delivery update accepts UK and Canadian postcodes with spaces, fixes the Orders filters, and brings 6 more fixes.

Checkout and storefront

• UK and Canadian postcodes with a space now pass the delivery check, like RG26 5DB or V5K 0A1.
• Pickup locations no longer show a delivery fee on the current widget.
• The labels on the order confirmation page show straight away, instead of flashing generic text first.
• The date picker at checkout keeps saving the customer’s choice, instead of sometimes getting stuck after loading over and over.

Orders

• The date filter on the Orders page no longer resets to an old fixed date each time the page loads.
• Select all works across every page of your orders list.
• Refunded orders show their items, instead of appearing empty.

Settings

• Widget Preview loads for the current widget, instead of showing an error.

This Bird Pickup & Delivery update keeps checkout open even when Bird’s settings can’t load, fixes Recharge date sync, and brings 5 more fixes.

Checkout

• Customers can still check out if Bird’s settings can’t load, instead of the checkout button being blocked.
• Shopify discount codes added through the widget no longer cause a blank page or a failed checkout on some themes.
• Switching from pickup to shipping clears the old pickup details from the order.

Storefront

• Your highlight colour for the selected pickup location shows as you set it.
• The product page date picker works on its own, even when the cart app embed is turned off.
• Your custom widget styles (Custom CSS) apply on every theme setup.

Subscriptions

• Recharge subscription dates move forward correctly for every kind of Recharge checkout, and failed syncs stop retrying when they can’t succeed.

This Bird Pickup & Delivery update shows shipping zone changes at checkout straight away, fixes POS dates, and brings 3 more fixes.

Checkout

• Changes to your shipping zones show at checkout straight away, with the right rates.
• Checkout no longer shows needless errors for stores without delivery postal codes.

Point of sale

• Delivery dates on POS devices are always right, using your location’s time zone, not the device’s own clock.

Notifications and settings

• Pickup emails no longer carry an empty QR code attachment when security codes are off, and every email uses the right language.
• Your discounts stay in sync when you switch between the legacy and current widget.

Bird: Order Details in your Shopify admin now opens with every field in the right order straight away. Before, fields could load one at a time or the panel could jump in size while Bird finished loading.

A product override that uses just * in its SKU patterns now covers every product, including products that have no SKU. Before, products without a SKU were skipped, so the override’s prep times and availability didn’t apply to them.

Customers now see only the delivery options that apply to them at checkout. Rates from Shopify’s own carrier services are matched correctly again, so options that shouldn’t show are filtered out.

Customers checking out on their phone now see the delivery rates you set up in Bird for their chosen date and time, the same as on a computer. Before, mobile shoppers could see the full, unfiltered list of rates.

The pickup details on your customers’ thank-you page now show your store name and your store address in their own places. Before, the address could appear where the store name should be.

The delivery dropdown in the current Bird Pickup & Delivery widget no longer gets stuck checking a customer’s choices at checkout. Customers who have picked everything they need can now complete their order straight away.

If you choose your own spot on the page for the Bird Pickup & Delivery widget, the current widget now appears exactly there. Before, it ignored your chosen spot and showed in the default position.

Bird Pickup & Delivery now shows whether your Google Maps key is working, so you can spot a problem with distance-based delivery straight away. Your delivery settings show a green banner when the key is valid, and a red one if it’s invalid or expired.

A one-off error from Google also no longer keeps blocking delivery address checks after the problem is fixed.

Your minimum order value now works at checkout exactly as you set it. Orders below your minimum show the minimum order message, so customers know how much more to add.

When Bird updates your Shopify delivery profiles, rates from other carrier apps now only show for the locations those carriers actually serve, instead of every location.

On themes that rebuild the page as customers browse, such as Ritual, the checkout button no longer disappears after the Bird Pickup & Delivery widget loads.

Rate names that use {{selected_date}} or {{selected_time}} with Shopify’s carrier-calculated shipping now show the customer’s actual date and time at checkout, instead of the placeholder text.

Choose how the date and time are written in Bird Settings > Rates > Manage visibility.

Orders that are scheduled later from Bird: Order Details in your Shopify admin now create just one Google Calendar event. Before, these orders could show up twice on your calendar.

Customers in the UK and Canada can now type their postal code at checkout with the usual space, like “SW1A 1AA” or “M5V 2T6”, and Bird checks it correctly for delivery. Before, the space could make the delivery check fail.

The legacy Bird widget now loads properly when a product’s SKU contains an apostrophe, like Mother’s-Day-Cake. Before, a SKU like this could stop the widget from showing.

Blockout dates now show on the day you picked for stores in US and Canadian time zones. Before, picking May 10 could show May 9.

The Text and languages page now loads for stores with a large number of themes installed, so you can edit your widget’s wording however many themes you have.

When customers come back to their cart, the delivery date and postal code they chose in the Bird Pickup & Delivery widget are still there, so they don’t have to enter them again.

A postal code outside your delivery area is no longer remembered, so customers don’t see an out-of-date “delivery not available” message the next time they open the cart.

Delivery prices from Shopify’s carrier-calculated shipping now apply correctly when your team schedules an order in Shopify POS with the Bird Schedule Order tile. Customers at the counter are charged the right delivery price, with no manual adjustment.

Bird Pickup & Delivery text messages now send even when an order is missing some customer details, like a guest checkout without a name. Before, these texts could fail to send.

Your team can now choose a pickup, delivery or shipping date in Bird Pickup & Delivery for custom sale orders that have no products in the cart. Before, Bird showed an error instead of the calendar.

On stores using the Broadcast theme, dates you’ve blocked in the Bird Pickup & Delivery calendar now stay unavailable when a customer changes their cart, for example the quantity of an item. Before, those dates could become clickable.

Every order synced from Shopify now arrives in Bird Pickup & Delivery with its order number and where it came from, such as your online store or POS. Before, some orders were missing these details, which made it harder to see where an order started.

On Shopify’s Horizon theme, the Bird Pickup & Delivery widget now appears once in the cart drawer. Before, it could show twice.

Your product tag rules in Bird Pickup & Delivery now apply in Shopify POS too. Staff only see the pickup locations and time slots that fit the products in the cart, just like customers do online.
