Can EasyRoutes sync BigCommerce orders automatically?

Manual CSV imports work well for smaller batches, but to achieve automatic syncing, you can use Zapier or the EasyRoutes API. For example, create a Zap that triggers whenever a new BigCommerce order is placed and sends it directly to EasyRoutes. Or, for more advanced use cases, use the API to integrate real-time order creation and updates.

See: Zapier Integration

How accurate are ETAs?

EasyRoutes calculates ETAs from drive times and your configured service time per stop, adjusting for start/end locations, stop priorities, and time windows. As drivers complete stops, ETAs refresh automatically based on actual timing. The best results come from accurate addresses, realistic service times, and consistent driver start times.

Customers see ETAs on tracking pages and (optionally) receive updates via email/SMS.

See: Route Scheduling & ETAs

Can I make proof of delivery mandatory?

Yes. From Proof of Delivery settings, you can force one or more PoD elements to be collected before drivers can complete a stop. Choose the combinations that fit your workflow — e.g., require a photo for attempted stops, or require e‑signatures for only completed stops. These rules apply in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web, and can include Attempted stops.

See: Make PoD Required

Can I require a successful scan before a stop can be completed?

Yes. When you configure a Scanner-input Driver Task, tick the Delivered and/or Attempted checkboxes to make a successful scan mandatory before that status can be applied. You can also require a Barcode Scan as proof of delivery from Settings > Driver Settings. Either way, drivers can’t mark the stop complete until the scan is captured. Available on Premium and Enterprise plans, in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Driver tasks · Driver settings

How does EasyRoutes optimize my delivery routes?

EasyRoutes builds efficient routes by combining your inputs (orders/stops and addresses) with constraints and preferences. It accounts for start and end locations, optional time windows, per‑stop service times, speed factors, and limits such as maximum duration, stops, items, or weight. You can create multiple routes at once, balance stops evenly, or optimize for the fewest routes that still meet your limits. After reviewing the map and stop list, drag‑and‑drop stops to make manual adjustments, then re‑optimize to apply changes.

What are the main benefits of using EasyRoutes with Wix?

Connecting Wix to EasyRoutes unlocks the complete last-mile toolkit: multi-stop route optimization, live driver tracking, proof of delivery (photos, signatures, notes), branded notifications, and delivery analytics. Together, these tools help Wix merchants scale delivery operations, save dispatcher time, and provide customers with a professional, reliable delivery experience.

See: EasyRoutes for Wix

Can I import delivery zones via KML file?

Yes. In Settings > Delivery Zones, click the dropdown arrow on the Create zone button and choose Import KML, then drag in your .KML file. Zone names from the file apply automatically, and you can rename them or set a route colour before saving. Boundaries drawn in tools like Google Earth work well; KMZ or GeoJSON files should be converted to .KML first. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Delivery Zones

Can I export activity feed data?

The Activity Feed itself isn’t exported as a single file, but you can export route and stop data that reflect the same underlying events. From the Routes page, export a date range (or open a specific route) to download CSVs containing stop details, completion timestamps, driver info, and links to proof of delivery. Use the feed to identify the timeframe or routes you need, then export those records directly.

See: How do I export routes/stops? · Activity Feed

Can I connect EasyRoutes to Zapier?

Yes. Use EasyRoutes webhooks as Zap triggers to connect delivery events to apps like Google Sheets, Slack, Gmail, Twilio, HubSpot, and more. Common automations include updating a shared delivery log, notifying customer service when an attempt fails, or sending a custom message when proof of delivery posts. Zapier is supported for both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Integrate EasyRoutes Webhooks with Zapier

Can I move orders from one route to another?

Yes. From any route, use the checkboxes to select one or more stops, then click the bulk actions bar and choose Send to another route. You can also open a Route Group and drag stops from one route to another within the group. After moving, click Save and (optionally) Re‑optimize to update the stop order and ETAs. This workflow works the same in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

Use this to balance workloads mid‑day, handle late additions, or consolidate leftovers onto a cleanup route.

See: How do I move orders to another route?

Do I need coding skills to connect BigCommerce with EasyRoutes?

You don’t need to code to connect BigCommerce with EasyRoutes. Zapier provides an easy no-code path to automate order syncing. For teams that need more complex, real-time integrations, the EasyRoutes API allows developers to customize imports, fulfillments, and route triggers. This gives you flexibility to choose between no-code and developer-driven solutions.

See: API Getting Started

Can I import orders into EasyRoutes from spreadsheets?

Yes. Upload a CSV to create stops with customer, address, and item details — even if the orders weren’t placed in Shopify. The importer supports line‑item fields such as quantity and weight so you can use vehicle capacity limits accurately. Once imported, these stops can be filtered, optimized into routes, and dispatched to drivers like any other order source.

See: How to import orders from CSV

Who should use EasyRoutes for Shopify?

EasyRoutes for Shopify is best suited for merchants who already sell goods or services within the Shopify ecosystem.  Users can plan optimized delivery routes with all orders received through their Shopify storefront, created via draft orders, or imported manually as custom stops.

EasyRoutes for Shopify integrates seamlessly with the Shopify Admin and dozens of leading third-party apps, making it the ideal choice for Shopify merchants seeking a streamlined local delivery solution.

Does EasyRoutes support real-time updates for BigCommerce orders?

By default, CSV imports are static snapshots. For real-time updates, use Zapier to push new BigCommerce orders into EasyRoutes automatically, or build a direct integration with the API. This ensures address changes, order edits, or cancellations in BigCommerce are reflected in your delivery routes without manual intervention.

See: Zapier Integration

Can I combine WooCommerce orders with orders from other platforms in EasyRoutes?

Yes. One of EasyRoutes’ strengths is its ability to centralize delivery management. You can import WooCommerce orders via CSV or Zapier while also syncing Shopify, BigCommerce, or other platform orders into the same account. EasyRoutes will display all of them together so you can generate optimized routes across multiple sales channels.

See: WooCommerce Overview

What support options are available?

We offer a self‑serve Help Center with step‑by‑step guides and videos, plus email support from our team during business hours (ET). Most questions are resolved the same business day. Accounts on the Enterprise plan receive prioritized responses and onboarding help. For incident updates, check our public status page; for billing and plan questions, see the pricing page.

See: Help Center · EasyRoutes Pricing

Can I archive or delete zones I no longer use?

Yes. In Settings > Delivery Zones, tick the zones you no longer need and click Archive to remove them from your active list. Archived zones aren’t gone for good — use the Add filter control below the map to show Archived or All, then select and Unarchive any you want back. This keeps your active zone list tidy without losing past boundaries. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Delivery Zones

Can I still use Shopify's built‑in delivery notifications?

Yes. In EasyRoutes for Shopify you decide whether to send messages using EasyRoutes’ customizable templates, or Shopify’s native notification flows. EasyRoutes writes tracking details to the Shopify fulfillment so the order status page and Shopify notifications include the correct link. If you enable both systems, review your templates to prevent duplicate emails/SMS.

Configuration lives in EasyRoutes notification settings; Shopify templates are managed in your Shopify admin.

See: Delivery Notifications – Email & SMS

Can I reverse the order of stops in a route?

Yes. If you need to drive the same set of stops in the opposite direction (e.g., afternoon run), open the route, choose the actions menu (three dots), and click Reverse route. The stop list flips order and ETAs update based on your scheduled start time and stop service times. This tool is available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. You can still drag‑and‑drop to fine‑tune any exceptions or stops that require particular attention.

See: How do I reverse a route?

Does EasyRoutes keep a history of my past routes?

Yes. EasyRoutes maintains a route history so you can review previous runs, proof of delivery, and timing information on either EasyRoutes product (Shopify and Web). Use the Routes page to filter by status (unstarted/in progress/completed/archived) and date. Open any route to view stop details and the Activity Feed particulars for that route. You can also export route/stop data for period‑end reporting or audits.

If you don’t see older orders on the Orders page, adjust the Show orders from the last window in Settings; this does not affect existing route history.

See: How do I see old orders or routes?

What types of data does Delivery Analytics provide?

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

Can I print labels for each package?

Yes. From any route, click Print → select Packing labels. You can output one label per stop or per order item (ideal for multiple packages). Configure label contents and sizing in Settings → Packing Slips & Labels. Use 4×6 thermal, A4/Letter sheets, or another size and scale as needed.

Shopify & Web: The label workflow is the same across products. For advanced templating on Shopify, you can send orders to Order Printer Pro from the Send to app dropdown, which can generate labels in route order.

See: How do I print packing labels?

Can I use Workflows with WooCommerce orders?

Yes. After your WooCommerce orders are imported into EasyRoutes (via CSV, Zapier, or API), you can use EasyRoutes’ Workflows to automate the next steps. For instance, you could create a Workflow that builds and dispatches routes every morning from all WooCommerce orders tagged as “Local Delivery.” This ensures WooCommerce data flows into the same automation engine used across EasyRoutes.

See: Workflows Overview

Does EasyRoutes integrate with Wix?

Yes. EasyRoutes integrates with Wix through multiple methods: you can export orders from Wix to a CSV and import them into EasyRoutes, or use Zapier and our API for automated, real-time workflows. This flexibility means businesses can start quickly with spreadsheet imports and later upgrade to automated integrations as they scale.

See: EasyRoutes for Wix

Can I require ID or signature confirmation for restricted items?

Yes for signature: in Driver settings you can require an e-signature (and/or photo) before a stop can be marked delivered, and customize the signature disclosure text shown to the recipient. For the ID portion, add a required Driver Task — a checkbox or text field confirming the ID check — so the driver can't complete a restricted stop without it.

Together these enforce a consistent, documented hand-off, though the age/ID check itself is performed by the driver rather than verified automatically. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Proof of Delivery · Driver Tasks

My date picker app isn't in your list — will it still work with EasyRoutes?

Most likely, yes. EasyRoutes doesn't depend on a specific app — it reads the delivery date and time window from your Shopify orders. As long as your date picker writes that data into order attributes or order tags in a recognized format (for example, a "Delivery Date" attribute or a "8:00 AM - 12:00 PM" time value), it will appear in EasyRoutes. If it doesn't show up, enable the Order Tags and Order Attributes columns to view the raw data, or reach out to support.
