Can I spread stops evenly across multiple routes?

Yes. When creating multiple routes as a group, use the Balance routes feature to spread stops evenly across drivers and routes. Balancing respects your other settings — such as max route duration, max stops/items, custom start/end locations, and time windows — so each route remains feasible. You can also choose to create and auto‑assign routes to selected drivers, then re‑optimize each route to fine‑tune their sequence and ETAs. This feature is available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web and is especially helpful for daily batch planning.

See: Balance routes · How many routes?

Can drivers upload proof from their phone gallery?

Yes. In addition to taking photos in‑app, drivers can attach images from the phone’s gallery when you allow this option. It’s especially useful when a photo was captured by the camera app while offline; the driver adds it later, and EasyRoutes syncs the proof and timestamps once connectivity returns.

See: Upload from device gallery

Can I combine BigCommerce orders with orders from other platforms?

Yes. BigCommerce orders can be routed alongside orders from Shopify, WooCommerce, Squarespace, or other platforms. You can import or sync all orders into one EasyRoutes account, then generate optimized routes across them. This helps centralize multi-platform delivery operations. See: BigCommerce Integration

Does the Activity Feed capture IP address and device info?

Yes, when available. Expanding an Activity Feed entry and opening its details shows who initiated the event — a user’s email address (or Shopify user ID) or a driver’s name — along with the IP address and device details captured for that action. This makes the feed useful for tracing changes and for compliance review. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Activity Feed

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 EasyRoutes send notifications for Xero deliveries?

Yes. Once invoices are imported into EasyRoutes, customers linked to those invoices can receive branded notifications via email or SMS, complete with live tracking links. This improves delivery transparency and reduces customer inquiries. See: EasyRoutes for Xero

Can I factor driver breaks into my optimized routes?

Yes. You can add breaks before optimization (by setting the planned break time) or after creating a route (by inserting a break and positioning it between stops). Breaks appear to drivers as a stop in the sequence, and when a break is included in a route, EasyRoutes will recalculate remaining ETAs and the overall route duration. This is useful for lunch windows, mandatory rest periods, or overnight pauses. For multi‑day itineraries, consider splitting different days into separate routes, or using an overnight strategy so customer ETAs align with actual delivery periods.

See: Driver Breaks · Overnight / Multi‑day routes

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

Can I track my drivers in real-time?

Yes. With Premium or Enterprise plans, turn on live tracking from EasyRoutes Settings → Driver settings. You’ll see a live GPS pin, breadcrumb path, current/next stop, and real‑time status updates on each route’s Tracking tab. Ensure drivers grant Always/Precise location permissions in the Delivery Driver app. Route Groups let you monitor multiple drivers at once.

See: Real‑Time Driver Location Tracking

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 make proof of delivery required?

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 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 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 auto-dispatch routes to my drivers?

Yes. Enable automatic dispatch so newly created routes with a scheduled start time are assigned and sent to the chosen driver immediately — no extra clicks. Use this for recurring daily runs or integrations that create routes programmatically. You can still edit or un-dispatch a route before start time if plans change.

See: Automatically dispatching a route

How do I draw or create a delivery zone on the map?

Go to Settings > Delivery Zones and click Create zone above the map. Use the polygon tool to click points on the map and trace your area, then click back on your first point to close the shape. Give the zone a title and pick a route colour, then save. Once created, enable the Delivery zones Route Option to limit a route to orders inside that zone. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Delivery Zones

What kinds 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.

See: Proof of Delivery

Can I combine Wix orders with other platform orders in EasyRoutes?

Yes. EasyRoutes is designed to unify multi-platform delivery operations. You can import Wix orders and combine them with orders from Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or other sources. All orders appear in one dashboard, so you can generate optimized multi-stop routes across platforms. See: EasyRoutes for Wix

How does EasyRoutes optimize my 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.

See: Route Options · EasyRoutes 101: Route Optimization & Route Options

Can I delete or archive old routes?

Yes. In both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web you can keep route history tidy by archiving routes you no longer need to manage daily, or permanently delete them. Use the checkboxes to select desired routes from the Routes page, and use the actions menu to archive or delete. Archiving preserves stop records, proof of delivery (photos/signature/notes), and analytics, so you can still search and export later. Deleting removes the route from Route History — make sure to export any reports you need first.

Use filters on the Routes page to show active, completed, or archived runs when you’re reconciling a period.

See: How do I archive or delete routes from my route history?

Can I edit or reshape a zone after creating it?

Yes. You can reshape a zone after creating it — open Settings > Delivery Zones, select the zone, adjust its points on the map, then save your changes. You can also rename it or change its route colour at any time. Updated boundaries apply the next time you use that zone to select orders for a route. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Delivery Zones

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?

How does barcode scanning work in EasyRoutes?

EasyRoutes turns your driver’s phone camera into a scanner — no extra hardware needed. Drivers scan a barcode or QR code from the Proof of Delivery section, or from a Scanner-input Driver Task, before completing a stop. Matching codes are confirmed in green; non-matching codes appear in yellow and can be flagged back to the route planner. Every scan is stored with the stop’s proof of delivery for live or later review. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Barcode scanning · Scanning on the mobile app

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

How do I add a custom or manual stop?

From any route or the Orders page, click the + Add button under the map and choose Custom stop, then fill in the stop details with a valid address — EasyRoutes auto-fills matches from your Address Book as you type. Tick “Save to address book” to reuse a frequent stop later, and re-optimize if you’d like it slotted into the best position. It’s the same flow whether you’re on EasyRoutes for Shopify or EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Add a custom stop · Address Book

Can I export packing slip data instead of printing?

Yes. You can keep slips digital. From the route’s Print menu, select Packing slips and choose your browser/OS option to Save as PDF. This yields a single file ordered by the route for easy sharing.

This is supported in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web and is useful for handing off to 3PLs or warehouse teams that prefer tablet-based picking.
