How does Jitsu delivery work?

Jitsu delivery for Shopify is Bird Pickup & Delivery's connection to Jitsu, a same-day delivery network in the United States. Your customers book a delivery date and time and see Jitsu's live price at checkout. When you mark the order Dispatched in Bird, Jitsu collects it and delivers inside the window your customer picked.
