What BigCommerce export settings should I use?

Use a CSV export template with one row per sub-item to ensure proper mapping. See: CSV Import Guide

See: Delivery Notifications

Can I combine BigCommerce orders with orders from other platforms?

Yes. EasyRoutes supports routing orders from multiple platforms together. See: BigCommerce Integration

Do I need coding skills to connect WooCommerce with EasyRoutes?

Can I filter Shopify and imported orders in EasyRoutes?

Yes. Filter by delivery date, zone, status, location (ZIP/postal code, city, country, custom zones) and more criteria to select only the orders you need.

See: Order Filters

Can I auto-dispatch routes to my drivers?

Yes. If a scheduled start time is set, routes can be auto‑assigned and dispatched to the selected driver when created.

See: Auto‑Dispatch

Are there API rate limits?

Yes. Rate limits protect platform reliability. If you plan high‑volume integrations, contact support to discuss throughput and best practices (batching, webhooks).

See: API Getting Started

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

Yes. You can use Shopify’s built‑in Local Delivery/Shipping notifications instead of (or alongside) EasyRoutes email/SMS. Avoid duplicate sends by disabling overlapping templates.

See: Delivery Notifications

Can proof of delivery be shared with customers?

Yes. You can show proof of delivery items (photos, e‑signature timestamp, and driver notes) on customer tracking pages and include links in email/SMS notifications. Configure this from your EasyRoutes Settings, in the Order Tracking and Customer Notifications tabs.

See: Sharing Proof of Delivery · Order Tracking Pages

Is e-signature displayed to customers?

Tracking pages show that a signature was collected and when; for security purposes, the actual signature image isn’t displayed publicly but is retained internally for reference.

See: Proof of Delivery

How does EasyRoutes handle orders without a shipping address?

EasyRoutes flags any orders that are missing a shipping address so you can add or correct the address before routing. For pickup orders, use your store or pickup location as the address.

See: My order does not have a shipping address

Does EasyRoutes support SMS delivery notifications?

Yes. EasyRoutes Premium and Enterprise plans support branded SMS notifications with usage‑based pricing per message segment. Configure templates and funding in Settings.

See: EasyRoutes SMS Pricing · Delivery Notifications

Does EasyRoutes work with wholesale orders?

Yes. Any Shopify order (including wholesale and/or B2B) can be added to routes as long as it contains a shipping address. You can also correct addresses - or add one to stops without - prior to routing.

See: Shopify Items & Fulfillments · Add a missing address

Can I combine Xero invoices with orders from other platforms?

Yes. EasyRoutes supports mixing Xero invoices with Shopify, WooCommerce, and more to create delivery routes. See: Xero Integration

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 the API update route status?

Yes. The API can update stops and routes (e.g., mark delivered/attempted, assign/dispatch, or edit route details), which can trigger notifications if enabled.

See: API Getting Started · Routes API

What can I do with the API?

Use the API to import stops, create and optimize routes, assign/dispatch to drivers, update stop/route status, and retrieve route data and history.

See: Routes API

How does billing work for an EasyRoutes plan subscription?

On EasyRoutes for Shopify, our plans work as subscription charges on your Shopify store. To learn more about subscription charges on your Shopify store, review this Shopify Help Center article.

On EasyRoutes for Web, we partner with Stripe for simplified billing. You have full control over your subscription through our customer billing portal.

See: Prorated plan changes · Usage-based SMS balance

Can I view analytics for specific drivers?

Yes. Filter Analytics by driver to compare performance or focus on an individual’s workload and results.

See: Filtering by Driver

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

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

Do SMS usage fees, prorated monthly subscriptions, and driver seats function the same way on the Shopify and Web platforms?

Yes. SMS usage rates and monthly plan tiers are consistent between EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web (the Free tier is Shopify-only). Both use the same driver-seat model: you pay only for active seats and can toggle them on/off as staffing changes, with automatic proration for plan and seat adjustments.
