LionWheel + Bird Pickup & Delivery Date
Bird lets your customers book a delivery date and time slot at checkout. LionWheel reads both from the Shopify order and puts each delivery on the right day’s route. As Bird says on its own LionWheel page, there’s no connection step.

Turn on Bird’s Order Tagging and pickup orders get a “pickup” tag. LionWheel marks them as self pickup, apart from your drivers’ deliveries.
How it works
Your customer books a slot
At checkout, Bird shows your delivery days and time slots and saves the booking on the Shopify order.
LionWheel creates the delivery
When the order is placed, LionWheel turns it into a delivery with the address, recipient, items, date and time window.
It goes on the right route
Plan the day in LionWheel: each Bird order is on its booked day, inside its slot. Drivers get their route in the LionWheel driver app.
Set up Bird with LionWheel
There’s nothing to set up inside Bird. In Bird’s settings, the LionWheel tile under Integrations just opens our App Store listing.
- Install LionWheel from the Shopify App Store on the store that runs Bird.
- Auto Deliveries Creation is on by default in LionWheel’s Shopify settings, so every new order becomes a delivery as soon as it’s placed.
- Place a test order with a Bird delivery date and slot, and check its date and time window in LionWheel.
- To keep pickup orders apart, turn on Order Tagging in Bird.
- Optional: in LionWheel’s Shopify settings, set Update Fulfillment on Shopify to Delivery Completed, so the order is marked fulfilled in Shopify when the driver completes the delivery.
If a slot doesn’t come through: LionWheel reads a time slot written as start - end with a hyphen, such as 10:00 - 11:00. If your test order arrives without its time window, contact us and we’ll map Bird’s time for your store.
Questions about Bird and LionWheel
Do I need to connect Bird to LionWheel?
No. Bird saves the booking on the Shopify order and LionWheel reads the order. Install both apps on the same store.
Does LionWheel get the time slot my customer picked?
Yes. Bird’s delivery time becomes the stop’s time window in LionWheel, so the route plan keeps the driver inside it.
What if an order comes in without a delivery date?
LionWheel dates it the day it comes in. You can change the date on the delivery in LionWheel, or plan it with the next day’s routes.
Does LionWheel update the order in Shopify?
It can. Choose when LionWheel marks the Shopify order as fulfilled, for example when the driver completes the delivery. You can also have LionWheel cancel the delivery when the order is cancelled in Shopify.
