The latest features, improvements, and fixes for Bird Pickup & Delivery.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Bird pickup & delivery has a new settings page, consisting of easy-to-understand and navigate cards format.
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.
