What happens when a scanned barcode doesn't match?

If a scanned code doesn’t match the stop, the app shows it in yellow rather than the green used for a confirmed match, so the driver can tell right away. Non-matching scans can still be saved, and drivers can flag a scan issue from the alert icon on the Add Barcode screen, which sends a report to the route planner instead of a matched scan. Works the same in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Scanning on the mobile app

Can I use EasyRoutes at multiple locations?

Yes. EasyRoutes supports multi‑location operations. You can set unique start/end locations on routes (store, warehouse, driver home base), segment orders by delivery zone or location tags, and dispatch drivers from different hubs on the same day. Route Groups make it easy to manage several routes per location and monitor all drivers together.

This applies across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Delivering from multiple locations or warehouses

How do I manage my active drivers?

Invite drivers from the Drivers & Vehicles tab, then assign a driver seat to activate them. Deactivate drivers anytime to free a seat without deleting their profile or history. You can switch which people occupy seats as staffing changes — ideal for seasonal or on-call drivers. These controls are available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Add a driver · Activate/deactivate drivers

How is real-time driver location displayed to customers?

Customer tracking pages can display an anonymized, live driver pin so recipients can see the driver’s progress as delivery approaches. Enable the option in EasyRoutes Settings → Order tracking, and use delivery notifications (email/SMS) to send tracking links automatically. When live location is unavailable (e.g., permissions off), the page still shows status updates and ETAs based on route progress.

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

Can I share proof of delivery via tracking links?

Yes. Both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web can display proof of delivery (PoD) on the customer’s tracking page right after a stop is marked Delivered or Attempted. PoD can include delivery photos, e‑signature confirmation, and optional driver notes. Turn this on from EasyRoutes Settings → Order tracking, and use notifications (email/SMS) to send tracking links automatically. For internal auditing, PoD is also visible on the route and stop records for your team.

See: Proof of Delivery · Customizable Order Tracking Pages

Does EasyRoutes offer training?

Yes. Most teams ramp using our self‑serve resources: the Getting Started guide, topic‑specific articles, and short videos embedded throughout the Help Center. If questions arise, contact us via email from inside the app or the Support Portal; we aim to respond the same business day. Customers on the Enterprise plan receive priority responses and can coordinate onboarding help prior to go‑live.

See: Getting Started with EasyRoutes · Help Center

Do I need a special scanner or hardware to use barcode scanning?

No. Barcode scanning uses the camera on your driver’s existing iOS or Android device, so there’s no need to buy dedicated scanners or hardware. Drivers scan directly from the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app, with a built-in flash option for low light and a manual-entry fallback if a code won’t read. It supports common linear formats (UPC, EAN, Code 128, and more) and 2D codes like QR and Data Matrix. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Barcode scanning

Can proof be shown for attempted deliveries?

Yes. Drivers can add photos and notes for attempts (e.g., no answer, inaccessible). You can make PoD mandatory for Attempted stops, so drivers document the situation before moving on. Attempt proof appears with the stop’s history for admins and, if enabled, on customer tracking pages/notifications to explain what happened.

See: Proof of Delivery

What data is included in in Delivery Analytics?

Delivery Analytics provides a consolidated view of your operations across both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. Key metrics include total stops and routes, completion rate, attempted/missed deliveries, average delivery time, and per‑driver performance summaries. Use it to compare activity over time, spot bottlenecks, and validate operational changes.

You can filter by time period and specific drivers to focus on a team or individual, then export results to CSV for reporting. For event‑level detail (e.g., when a stop changed status), open the route’s Activity Feed. Analytics refreshes as new delivery events are recorded, so the dashboard stays current throughout the day.

See: Delivery Analytics · Activity Feed

Does EasyRoutes for Web offer any third-party app or API integrations?

Yes! You can use EasyRoutes' API to customize your integration and build powerful workflows to suit your specific delivery needs. You can also connect EasyRoutes webhooks to Zapier to unlock seamless, no-code workflows with your favourite apps and services, triggered by route updates in EasyRoutes.

Can I export my routes for reporting or analysis?

Yes. From the Routes page or an individual route view, export to CSV for all relevant route data points. Exports include stop details, timestamps, driver assignments, and URLs to related proof of delivery (photos/signature/notes). Use these files for accounting, customer service follow‑up, or analysis in spreadsheets or external tools. Exports are supported in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: How do I export routes/stops?

Can I print packing slips for each stop on a route?

Yes. You can generate packing slips for each stop from the route’s Print menu. Choose Packing slips to produce slips in route order, then print or save as PDF for digital handoff. Customize content (logo, variables, formatting) from EasyRoutes Settings → Packing Slips & Labels.

EasyRoutes for Shopify: Use the built-in Print Preview, or send orders to Shopify’s Order Printer/Order Printer Pro for custom templates (Order Printer Pro supports route order).
EasyRoutes for Web: Use the same Print Preview and Settings controls directly in the web app.

See: Printing Packing Slips

What permissions do drivers need to enable tracking?

For reliable live tracking, drivers should: (1) sign in to EasyRoutes Delivery Driver; (2) allow Always/Allow all the time location access; (3) enable Precise location; and (4) keep battery optimization from restricting the app (disable aggressive battery saver if needed). These settings apply on both iOS and Android and can be checked from device Settings.

See: Real-Time Driver Location Tracking · Troubleshooting mobile issues

Can I print packing slips in bulk?

Yes. EasyRoutes prints all slips for the selected route in one batch. From the route page, choose Print → enable Packing slips → print or save as PDF. Slips are ordered to match the route so packing and loading follow the driver’s sequence.

This bulk flow is available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. If you maintain custom slip templates in Shopify, you can also push orders to Order Printer Pro and print them in route order from there.

See: Printing delivery routes · Packing Slips

Can I attach extra information to stops?

EasyRoutes focuses on structured stop data rather than storing arbitrary files at a stop. To share extra information (e.g., gate codes, loading dock instructions, external document links), use the stop notes fields. Notes appear on the route, in the driver app, and on printed manifests if enabled, keeping critical context with the stop.

See: Driver/Stop Notes

Where can drivers download the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app?

Drivers can install the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) using the official links provided in our Help Center. The app works with both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web accounts; once added as a driver, sign in using the phone number on file and the SMS code sent to that device. After dispatch, routes appear automatically in the app and can also be opened from the push notification's shared route link.

See: Where can I download the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app?

Can I track driver performance?

Yes. Use Delivery Analytics to review outcomes by driver — completed vs. missed stops, average delivery time, and overall success rate — over a selected period. Filter to focus on a single driver or compare across the team. For detailed investigations, open routes to see timestamps and proof of delivery, or export results for use in external tools.

See: Delivery Analytics

Does EasyRoutes support webhooks?

Yes. Both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web support webhooks that notify your apps when key delivery events occur—such as routes created/dispatched/updated and stops started/completed/attempted. Use them to sync delivery status into ERPs/CRMs, trigger customer communications, or update internal dashboards in real time. You can consume webhooks directly at your API endpoint or use Zapier to route events into thousands of tools (Sheets, Slack, email, etc.). Webhooks require a Premium (or higher) plan.

Do I need coding skills to connect WooCommerce with EasyRoutes?

You don’t need to be a developer to connect WooCommerce with EasyRoutes. Zapier provides no-code automation tools that let you push WooCommerce orders directly into EasyRoutes with just a few clicks. For businesses that want more control, the EasyRoutes API is available to build deeper integrations, such as syncing fulfillment statuses or creating custom routing rules. This gives you both no-code and pro-code options.

See: API Getting Started •  Integrate EasyRoutes with Zapier

How do my route planners and other staff access EasyRoutes?

EasyRoutes for Shopify is seamlessly integrated into merchants’ Shopify Admin, and can be accessed directly from the navigation menu or search bar after logging into Shopify.  Permissions to create, edit, and dispatch delivery routes are limited to the same individuals who have a Shopify user account with full login access to a store’s Shopify Admin.

EasyRoutes for Web uses a standalone web browser-based login, with no Shopify account required to sign up, import your orders, and access route planning tools.  With EasyRoutes for Web, route planning administrators can invite additional users to their organization’s account who can then access select EasyRoutes functionality.

See: Getting started · Add collaborators

Can EasyRoutes sync WooCommerce orders automatically?

While CSV imports are manual, you can automate order import with Zapier or the EasyRoutes API. For example, you can use a Zap to trigger whenever a new WooCommerce order is placed, automatically sending it to EasyRoutes for routing. With the API, developers can build custom real-time integrations for order imports and updates. This ensures your delivery operations stay in sync without requiring manual exports.

See: Zapier Integration Guide

Do I need coding skills to connect Wix with EasyRoutes?

No coding is required if you use Zapier, which allows you to set up automations like sending new Wix orders into EasyRoutes with just a few clicks. For businesses needing deeper control, the EasyRoutes API allows developers to build integrations for syncing fulfillments, handling custom workflows, or connecting to other back-office systems. See: EasyRoutes API Guide

Are there API rate limits?

Yes. The EasyRoutes API enforces rate limits to ensure consistent performance for all users. Most workflows run comfortably within default limits when you batch requests, avoid unnecessary polling, and rely on webhooks to trigger updates rather than frequent reads. If you expect sustained high throughput (e.g., large imports or rapid status updates), our team can help you design an efficient approach and advise on limits for your use case.

See: API Getting Started Guide

What can I do with the API?

The EasyRoutes API lets you automate your delivery workflow end‑to‑end: import orders/stops from external systems, create routes with your preferred options, assign drivers or vehicles, dispatch routes, and update stop or route status as deliveries progress. You can also read back route/stops for reporting and pair the API with webhooks to keep other systems synchronized in real time. Capabilities are consistent across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: EasyRoutes Routes API · Webhooks & Zapier

Will EasyRoutes add tracking links to my Shopify orders?

Yes. Creating a fulfillment from EasyRoutes writes the EasyRoutes tracking number and URL to the Shopify order, so customers and support teams can track delivery progress. The link also appears in Shopify’s order status page and, when enabled, in Shopify or EasyRoutes notification emails/SMS. Tracking remains accessible even after routes are archived.

See: Customizable order tracking pages and links

Can Workflows trigger when new Shopify orders come in?

Yes. Workflows function on a custom scheduling basis that can be adjusted at any time. Any new Shopify orders received prior to the scheduling cut-off will be included in auto-generated routes. A common Workflow is set up to automatically generate routes with new Shopify orders matching certain filters criteria. This ensures your team can start deliveries without manual intervention.

This also eliminates the need for dispatchers to constantly refresh EasyRoutes or manually select new orders. By ensuring routes are always up-to-date with the latest order data, Workflows help reduce delays, prevent missed deliveries, and keep your delivery operation moving smoothly.
