Can multiple stores connect to one EasyRoutes account?

Each EasyRoutes for Shopify install connects to a single Shopify store. To combine data from additional external sources, import stops via CSV, API, webhooks, or Zapier.

See: Multiple Shopify stores

How does EasyRoutes optimize my routes?

EasyRoutes optimizes deliveries using your selected orders, start & end locations, stop time intervals, time windows, and route limits. You can balance routes, respect capacities, and re‑optimize as plans change.

See: Route Options · EasyRoutes 101

Can I use the API to import orders from other platforms?

Yes. Use the Routes API to import stops (orders) from any system that can send the required fields, then create or update routes with those stops.

See: API Import

Does EasyRoutes support real-time updates for Wix orders?

Yes, with Zapier or the EasyRoutes API. See: Zapier Guide

What triggers does EasyRoutes provide in Zapier?

Zapier supports triggers like “Route Updated” and “Stop Status Updated” from EasyRoutes. See: Zapier Guide

How do I manage my active drivers?

You can add, remove, and switch drivers in a way that is flexible with your business at anytime from within EasyRoutes. If you need more active drivers, then you'll need to add more drivers on your plan.

See: Add a driver · Activate/deactivate drivers

How are driver seats billed?

Billing is seat‑based. Pay only for the number of active driver seats, and assign seats to any drivers in your roster and toggle seats on/off as needed. Charges are prorated when you add or remove seats mid‑cycle.

See: Managing Seats · Prorated Billing

Can I send tracking links via SMS?

Absolutely. Add tracking links to SMS notifications (available on Premium/Enterprise subscription plans) so customers can follow their delivery. Usage‑based fees apply.

See: SMS Notifications · SMS Pricing

Can I send delivery reminders to customers?

Yes. Configure email/SMS templates (e.g., Ready for Delivery, Out for Delivery, Driver is X Stops Away) to remind customers and include tracking links and ETAs.

See: EasyRoutes Notifications

Does EasyRoutes require a contract?

No. Subscriptions are month‑to‑month; upgrade/downgrade at any time and charges are prorated when your plan changes.

See: Prorated billing

How is real-time driver location displayed 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

How accurate are ETAs?

ETAs use route distance, stop service times, and historical traffic, and they update during the day as drivers progress. Accuracy improves when addresses and time windows are clean.

See: Route Scheduling & ETAs

What is EasyRoutes and who is it for?

It helps you plan routes, dispatch to drivers, track progress in real time, and notify customers. Works with Shopify and integrates with other e-commerce platforms via EasyRoutes for Web.

Does EasyRoutes integrate with WooCommerce?

Yes. You can connect WooCommerce orders to EasyRoutes via CSV import, Zapier, or the EasyRoutes API.

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

The route’s Tracking tab shows live driver location, recent path, next/current stop, and real‑time stop status, completion times, and proof of delivery events.

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

How can Workflows help automate my delivery operations?

Can I re-optimize a route after it’s created?

See: Re‑optimize a route · Re‑ordering stops

Do I need coding skills to connect Xero with EasyRoutes?

No coding is required if you use Zapier. For advanced customizations, API skills may be useful. See: API Guide
