The latest features, improvements, and fixes for Bird Pickup & Delivery.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
