Can customers give feedback from their tracking page?

Yes. Delivery Ratings allow recipients to provide quick feedback from the tracking page right after their order is delivered. You can collect a star rating and an optional comment, then export results or segment by driver to monitor individual performance and service quality. Ratings help highlight coaching opportunities and verify customer satisfaction trends over time.

See: Delivery Ratings

Can I export customer delivery data?

Yes. From the Routes page or an individual route, export CSV files containing stop information (customer name, address, contact fields), timing, driver assignments, and URLs to any proof of delivery items. Use these exports for customer service, accounting reconciliation, or analysis in spreadsheets and external tools.

See: How do I export routes/stops?

Is EasyRoutes good for same-day delivery?

Yes. EasyRoutes is built for fast‑moving operations. Select orders, click Create route, and dispatch in a few steps. When new requests arrive, add them to an active route, re‑optimize the remaining sequence, and the driver’s app updates immediately. Customers can receive status notifications and view tracking links with dynamic ETAs. Use Route Groups to coordinate multiple drivers for peak periods.

See: Re‑optimizing a route · Dispatch/share routes

Can I preview my notification templates before sending them?

Yes. Open any template in the Notifications editor and use Preview with Example Data to see how your message will render, including variables. You can also send a real‑world test by creating a draft order or manual stop with your own contact details, and triggering notifications on a sample route. Preview/testing tools are available for both email and SMS on Shopify and Web.

See: Delivery Notifications – Email & SMS

Can EasyRoutes sync Squarespace orders automatically?

CSV import works well for manual workflows, but if you want orders to sync automatically, Zapier or the EasyRoutes API is the solution. Zapier allows you to create automations where new Squarespace orders are instantly sent to EasyRoutes. The API provides developers with even more control, such as syncing fulfillment statuses or building advanced integrations with other systems.

See: Zapier Integration

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

Can Zapier integrate EasyRoutes with my CRM or ERP?

Zapier’s app directory includes thousands of CRMs, ERPs, and productivity tools. With EasyRoutes as the trigger, you can automatically update customer records in HubSpot when a delivery is completed, or sync invoice statuses in NetSuite when routes are dispatched. This ensures delivery data flows into the rest of your business systems seamlessly.

See: Zapier App Directory

Does EasyRoutes sequence stops to respect each order's delivery time window?

Yes. When a route has a scheduled start date and time and its stops carry time windows, the EasyRoutes optimizer sequences stops to arrive within each window while minimizing overall driving time, factoring in start/end locations and stop durations. Driver and customer ETAs reflect those windows. If a stop can't be met within the route's constraints, it's moved to the rejected stops tab so you can widen the window, adjust the start time, or split routes. This works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Time Windows · Route Scheduling & ETAs

Can I export customer delivery data?

Yes. From the Routes page or an individual route, export CSV files containing stop information (customer name, address, contact fields), timing, driver assignments, and URLs to any proof of delivery items. Use these exports for customer service, accounting reconciliation, or analysis in spreadsheets and external tools.

See: How do I export routes/stops?

Can I duplicate a route for future use?

Yes. To repeat a regular run, open the route and use the actions menu to duplicate/copy it, then set a new date/time, driver, and any updated options. Re‑optimize to account for traffic windows or new constraints. You can also copy only a subset of stops by selecting them and sending them to a new route. This approach works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: How to Edit Routes

Does EasyRoutes show route distance and duration?

Yes. In both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web you’ll see total estimated mileage (or kilometers) and drive time for each route as soon as it’s created. These figures adjust whenever you change options, or edit stop order, and re‑optimize — so planners and drivers work from current ETAs. Travel to/from start and end locations is included when configured, and per‑stop service time is factored into ETAs shown to customers.

See: Where can I see the total mileage of a route?

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?

Is Zapier available for both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web?

Zapier integration is available whether you’re using EasyRoutes for Shopify or EasyRoutes for Web. Shopify users can extend native integrations with Zapier for additional automations, while non-Shopify users can rely on Zapier to connect EasyRoutes with their eCommerce, ERP, or POS platforms. This makes Zapier a universal automation layer for all EasyRoutes users.

See: Platform Support

Can I combine Xero invoices with orders from other platforms?

Yes. EasyRoutes allows you to centralize deliveries across multiple platforms. You can import invoices from Xero alongside Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or Squarespace orders, then optimize routes across all of them in one place.

See: EasyRoutes for Xero

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 import orders 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

How do I reschedule or redeliver a failed delivery?

When a delivery can't be completed, the driver marks the stop Attempted and selects a reason (customer unavailable, access denied, refused, and more), capturing proof of the attempt. To redeliver, use Send to another route to move the stop onto a new or later route — as a fresh stop, or as a copy that preserves the original's history.

This keeps failed stops from getting lost and lets you batch redeliveries into the next run. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Mark an order as Attempted · Send orders to another route

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 limit or balance the number of orders per delivery time slot?

Capping how many orders a customer can book into a given slot is handled by your date picker app at checkout (for example, Pickeasy's order limits), not by EasyRoutes. On the planning side, EasyRoutes helps you balance the resulting workload: filter orders by delivery date and time window, then split them across multiple routes or drivers, and the optimizer sequences each route to respect its windows. Together they keep slots controlled and routes balanced. This applies to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Using Pickeasy with EasyRoutes · Order Filters

How is real-time driver location shown 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 use the Activity Feed for compliance audits?

Yes. The Activity Feed is designed to provide a verifiable sequence of events — who did what, and when — covering route creation, dispatch, status changes, driver assignments, and proof‑of‑delivery uploads. For external reviews or compliance checks, export related routes/stops to CSV to provide structured records and links to PoD. Together, these sources form a complete audit trail.

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

Do I need coding skills to connect Squarespace with EasyRoutes?

You don’t need to be technical to connect Squarespace with EasyRoutes. Using Zapier, you can build “if-this-then-that” workflows to automatically send Squarespace orders to EasyRoutes for route planning. For businesses that want more advanced automation, the EasyRoutes API lets developers build custom integrations and connect with other business systems. This gives you both a no-code and pro-code path to integration.

See: API Getting Started

What information can I see in real-time tracking as an admin?

Admins can monitor each active route from the Tracking tab: view a live GPS pin, the recent breadcrumb path, and which stop the driver is headed to now. Stop tiles update in real time with status changes and completion times, and proof of delivery (photos, signature, notes) appears as soon as it’s captured. You can also open a Route Group to watch multiple routes/drivers concurrently.

See: Real-Time Driver Location Tracking · EasyRoutes Activity Feed

How secure is EasyRoutes?

EasyRoutes protects order and customer information with modern security practices. Traffic between your browser, the driver app, and our services is encrypted in transit; stored data is encrypted at rest. Access to accounts and APIs is token‑based and limited to the minimum required to operate features like routing, tracking, and notifications. Payments are handled by Shopify or other PCI‑compliant providers — EasyRoutes does not store card data.

We do not sell personal information. Limited sharing with subprocessors may occur solely to operate EasyRoutes as described in our Privacy Policy. Contact support if you have questions about data retention or deletion requests.

See: Privacy Policy

Who should use EasyRoutes for Web?

EasyRoutes for Web is best suited for merchants and service providers who do not have an existing Shopify presence.  Users may currently be using spreadsheets and manual processes to track orders/stops and plan delivery routes, or may be using an alternate eCommerce platform where orders/stops can be exported into a spreadsheet. We also offer an API.

Spreadsheets containing order data can quickly be imported into EasyRoutes for Web to plan and dispatch optimized delivery routes in a fraction of the time compared to manual planning methods.

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

What types of proof of delivery can EasyRoutes capture?

Drivers can capture multiple photos, obtain a customer e‑signature, and add notes at the stop. These items are stored with timestamps and the completion context, and they’re visible to admins on the route and stop record. When enabled in EasyRoutes Settings, customers can see PoD on tracking pages and in notifications.
