Yes. If a driver is seasonal or temporarily inactive, they can be temporarily deactivated until required again. The driver’s profile, history, and assignments remain in your account, but they cannot receive routes or sign in until re‑activated. This helps control costs without losing configuration.
Manage seats from the Drivers & Vehicles tab of the EasyRoutes navigation menu. Works in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
Yes. EasyRoutes Delivery Driver supports low‑connectivity scenarios. Have drivers open or refresh the route while connected to preload stops and attachments. If signal drops, they can continue navigating (via their chosen maps app), mark stops delivered/attempted, and capture photos/signatures. The app queues events locally and syncs them back to EasyRoutes as soon as the device reconnects, updating ETAs and tracking automatically.
See: Can I use EasyRoutes Delivery Driver without a connection?
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
Yes. The EasyRoutes Delivery Driver mobile app supports complete proof of delivery: capture multiple photos, obtain a customer e‑signature, and add notes (e.g., where the parcel was left). PoD is stored with the stop and visible to admins; if you enable PoD on tracking pages, customers can view it as well. PoD uploads immediately when a driver has an active internet connection, and will sync when re-connected if captured while offline.
See: Proof of Delivery
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
Yes. Aggregate missed vs. completed counts appear in Analytics, and when a stop cannot be completed, the driver can select or enter a reason in the mobile app. Those reasons are recorded on the stop and visible to admins for follow‑up. Reviewing these notes helps you spot patterns — like frequent access issues at certain buildings — and take corrective action.
Use Analytics to quantify the impact over time, then drill into routes and stops to see the exact explanations and any attached proof (photos/notes). This behaviour is consistent across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
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.
Subscriptions are processed through Shopify Billing (for EasyRoutes for Shopify) or Stripe (for EasyRoutes for Web). After your 14-day trial, app charges run on a 30-day subscription cycle that is independent from Shopify’s invoice cycle. When you add or remove driver seats during a cycle, we prorate charges/credits automatically. SMS delivery notifications are usage-based and draw from a separate balance when enabled.

You don’t need to be a developer to connect WooCommerce with EasyRoutes. Zapier provides no-code automation tools that let you push WooCommerce orders directly into EasyRoutes with just a few clicks. For businesses that want more control, the EasyRoutes API is available to build deeper integrations, such as syncing fulfillment statuses or creating custom routing rules. This gives you both no-code and pro-code options.
Yes. On Premium/Enterprise plans, you can send SMS notifications for key delivery events (e.g., Ready for Delivery, Out for Delivery, Driver is X stops away, Delivered, Missed Delivery, and optionally Scheduled/Rescheduled). Messages are billed per segment based on the recipient’s country. Customize content and variables in the template editor, and preview with example data before enabling. Pair SMS with email and customer tracking links for full visibility.
Yes. EasyRoutes supports multi‑location operations. You can set unique start/end locations on routes (store, warehouse, driver home base), segment orders by delivery zone or location tags, and dispatch drivers from different hubs on the same day. Route Groups make it easy to manage several routes per location and monitor all drivers together.
This applies across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
Yes. You can cap a route by Max route duration, Max stops per route, and Max items per route so optimization never exceeds your operational limits. These constraints shape ETAs, the stop sequence, and whether additional routes are required. Enable or edit these limits from the Route Options panel before creating routes, or open any route and choose Edit route options to apply changes and re‑optimize. This feature functions the same way in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
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.
Yes. Use the Delivery Zones tool to outline one or more areas on the map, then filter/select orders within those zones to build your route quickly. Zones help planners batch by neighbourhood or service area and pair well with other filters like tags or dates. Once configured, zones are stored permanently to standardize your daily workflow when planning for the same areas.
No. Both products dispatch routes to the same EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app on iOS and Android. Drivers get identical navigation choices (Google/Apple/Waze), proof-of-delivery tools, barcode/driver tasks, and optional features like re-optimizing remaining stops or scheduled breaks — controlled by your admin settings. Any differences are admin-side only (e.g., Shopify-specific fields shown/hidden).
See: Delivery Driver app · Barcode scanning · Location tracking
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.
Yes. Mark COD orders and include collection instructions in stop notes. Drivers can record payment received using notes and attach custom notes containing any COD amounts collected. Back at the office, export routes/stops to reconcile COD activity. This workflow is supported across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Cash on Delivery
Yes. EasyRoutes supports Shopify Subscription orders, so recurring deliveries can be filtered and routed with your daily batch. Many subscription and checkout tools are supported out of the box; you can also combine with imported/manual stops for non‑Shopify channels. Tracking, notifications, and proof of delivery function the same as for one‑time orders.
See: How does EasyRoutes work with subscriptions? · Supported third‑party apps
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
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.
Yes. From EasyRoutes Settings → Driver settings, enable the options to let drivers reorder stops and re‑optimize the remaining sequence when plans change (traffic, customer requests). Re‑optimization recalculates the fastest order for what’s left, while respecting your route constraints (time windows, priorities). Admins can still edit routes from the web at any time.

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.
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.
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.

The feed captures high‑signal delivery events so you can trace what happened and when: route creation, edits, and dispatches; assignments and self‑assign actions; stop status updates (Ready, Out for Delivery, Delivered, Attempted); proof‑of‑delivery photos/signatures/notes; and other key changes. Entries stream in real time for both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
