Can I dispatch routes automatically?

Can EasyRoutes send notifications for Wix orders?

Yes. Customers receive branded email or SMS notifications with live tracking. See: Notifications Overview

Do I need a Premium plan to use the API?

Yes. API and webhooks are available on Premium and Enterprise plans.

Can I build multi-step Workflows with conditional logic?

Yes. Workflows can include multiple steps and conditions, such as only dispatching routes to certain drivers if the route exceeds a number of stops, or only adding particular stops if the corresponding order includes certain tags. There are no limits to how many Workflows route planners can create, offering maximum flexibility for businesses with varying delivery schedules.

See: Conditional Workflows

Does EasyRoutes automatically sync orders from Shopify?

Yes. New and updated Shopify orders flow into EasyRoutes automatically so your Orders page stays current for planning. If something looks off, refresh and check your date/location filters.

See: Shopify Items & Fulfillments

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

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.

See: SMS pricing · Pricing · Proration

How can Workflows help automate my delivery operations?

Workflows save time and reduce errors by automating routine steps, like creating routes with new orders on delivery days, or auto-dispatching routes to assigned drivers, all based on custom scheduling that works for your business. This keeps operations efficient and customers informed.

Does the app send push notifications for new routes?

Yes. When a route is dispatched and assigned, the driver receives a push notification with a shortcut into the route (requires notification permission).

See: Route Dispatch

Can I export activity feed data?

Not directly, as the Activity Feed is intended as a real-time stream of events for quick reference and attribution. Export related route/stop data (with timestamps and PoD links) to CSV for analysis or records.

See: Export routes/stops · Activity Feed

Can I integrate EasyRoutes with other business tools?

Yes. Use the EasyRoutes API, webhooks, and Zapier to connect ERPs/CRMs/WMS or automate tasks without code.

Can I view missed delivery reasons?

Yes. Analytics shows counts of missed deliveries; individual stop pages display the reason provided by the driver (e.g., no answer, inaccessible).

See: Missed Delivery Reasons

Is EasyRoutes good for same-day delivery?

Yes. Create routes in minutes, add last‑minute stops, and re‑optimize during the day. Dispatch instantly to drivers with live tracking and customer notifications.

See: Re‑optimize · Dispatch

Does EasyRoutes let me avoid tolls or u-turns?

Yes. Turn on settings to avoid toll roads and u‑turns from the Route Options panel. Enable these options before planning a route, or edit the route after creation and re‑optimize to see them reflected in your route.

What data does Delivery Analytics provide?

Delivery Analytics shows totals and trends for stops and routes, including completed vs. missed deliveries, average delivery time, per‑driver performance, and route metrics over a chosen period.

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

See: Auto‑Dispatch

Can I require drivers to start a route before tracking begins?

Yes. Require drivers to tap Start Delivery before updating stops so tracking begins at the official route start and overall drive time is captured accurately.

See: Real-Time Driver Location Tracking · Driver Settings

Can drivers update order statuses from the app?

Yes. Drivers can mark stops as Out for Delivery, Delivered, or Attempted and attach proof of delivery from the mobile app.

See: Marking orders as Delivered

Where can drivers download the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app?

The EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app is available for iOS and Android. Use our official download links to install and sign in with your driver phone number.

See: Where can I download the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app?

Can the app work offline?

Yes. If a route is opened while the device is online, the app caches details so drivers can continue working with limited or no connectivity; updates to the route and individual stops will sync back to EasyRoutes when the device is back online.

See: Offline Use

Is the Activity Feed visible to drivers?

No. The feed is visible to admin/dispatcher roles in the web app; drivers see only their assigned routes in the mobile app.

See: Activity Feed

Can I include proof in Shopify notifications?

Yes. Add PoD image URLs to Shopify’s Delivered/Missed templates so customers receive photo links in standard Shopify emails.

See: Use PoD in Shopify Notifications

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

Can customers give feedback from their tracking page?

Yes. Enable Delivery Ratings so customers can leave star ratings and optional comments on the tracking page after delivery. Export results or review per driver from their profile pages.
