Built for Merchants, Not Just Route Planners

If you're comparing EasyRoutes to Zippd, you're likely weighing two very different approaches to delivery: outsourcing to a managed courier network versus running your own delivery operation. Zippd connects businesses with third-party drivers through its logistics platform—but if you want to own the delivery experience, manage your own team, and integrate directly with your eCommerce store, EasyRoutes is the better fit.

EasyRoutes puts you in control of your entire delivery workflow—optimized routing, driver dispatch, real-time tracking, proof of delivery, branded customer notifications, and built-in packing slips. Import orders from Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and other leading eCommerce platforms, as well as spreadsheets, or any source via API or Zapier.

Frequently asked questions

Who should use EasyRoutes for Web?

Choose EasyRoutes for Web if you don’t use Shopify or prefer a standalone planner. Import orders from spreadsheets (CSV), connect webhook events to Zapier for no-code automations, or integrate directly with our API to push/pull data programmatically. It’s ideal for delivery teams moving off manual tools and wanting automation without switching e-commerce platforms.

See: Import orders from CSV · API: Getting Started · Zapier webhooks

Can I integrate EasyRoutes with other business tools?

Yes. Use the EasyRoutes API, webhooks, and Zapier to connect ERPs/CRMs/WMS or automate tasks without code.

See: API Getting Started · Webhooks & Zapier

Does EasyRoutes support different vehicle types or capacities when optimizing?

Yes. EasyRoutes supports Vehicle Profiles you can configure and assign to routes. EasyRoutes also supports capacity planning via item or weight limits per route. Use these with other options (like time windows, or custom start/end locations) to keep plans realistic and drivers on schedule.

See: Vehicle Profiles · Max items/weight per route · Commercial/GPX Export

What types of proof of delivery can EasyRoutes capture?

EasyRoutes supports delivery photos, e‑signature, driver notes, and automatic timestamps (with GPS location when available) to provide a complete delivery record.

See: Proof of Delivery

Can I change label sizes?

Yes. Set label size (e.g., 4×6 thermal or A4/Letter) and font scale in EasyRoutes Settings → Packing Slips & Labels, then fine‑tune using your printer’s paper and scale settings.

See: Printing packing labels

Does EasyRoutes offer SMS delivery notifications?

Yes. EasyRoutes Premium and Enterprise plans support branded SMS notifications with usage‑based pricing per message segment. Configure templates and funding in Settings.

See: EasyRoutes SMS Pricing · Delivery Notifications

How is real-time driver location shown to customers?

You can show a live GPS pin on customer tracking pages when the driver is approaching. Configure this in EasyRoutes Settings → Order tracking and pair with email/SMS notifications for maximum visibility.

See: Real-Time Driver Location Tracking · Order Tracking Pages

Does the app provide turn-by-turn navigation?

Yes. Drivers can launch directions via Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Waze from each stop, and pick a default navigation app in their mobile app settings.

Can I customize driver permissions?

Yes. Control what drivers can do and see: allow/disable re‑ordering or re‑optimizing stops and choose which customer fields are visible in the app.

See: Driver Visibility · Driver‑side Re‑optimize

How do I change my plan?

You can change your plan at any time in your EasyRoutes settings by following the instructions in this EasyRoutes help article. Any active drivers and seats you have on your current plan will also be changed to the new plan's monthly price.

How are same-day changes handled?
