Can I include driver breaks on my optimized routes?

Yes. Add scheduled driver breaks to new or existing route, and EasyRoutes will insert a break stop while updating downstream ETAs and total route time.

See: Driver Breaks

Do I need coding skills to connect Squarespace with EasyRoutes?

No coding is required if you use Zapier. For advanced custom integrations, API skills may help. See: API Guide

Does EasyRoutes support time windows for deliveries?

Yes. You can set delivery time windows per stop or import them from supported third‑party date/time apps. EasyRoutes optimizes routes to meet these windows and calculates ETAs accordingly.

See: Time Windows · Supported third-party apps

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.

See: Real-Time Driver Location Tracking · Activity Feed

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

Can I get started with EasyRoutes quickly?

Most teams connect, fetch orders, and create their first optimized route in under an hour. Follow the Getting Started guide found on the EasyRoutes support portal to reach your “aha” moment fast.

See: Getting Started

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

Can I track multiple routes at once?

Yes. Open a Route Group to view multiple live driver locations and statuses on one screen; each driver pin is colour‑coded by route.

See: Real-Time Driver Location Tracking · Route Groups

What types of actions can I automate with Workflows?

You can automate tasks such as creating routes from new orders, applying filters to narrow the orders applying to each route, dispatching routes to drivers, sending delivery notifications, and updating Shopify order statuses.

See: Workflow Actions

Can I customize my packing slips?

Yes. Add your logo, choose which order fields appear, and adjust layout and font sizing from EasyRoutes Settings → Packing Slips & Labels. Options are available in both Shopify and Web.

See: Customizing Packing Slips

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 I test the API in a sandbox environment?

We recommend using a test store or non‑production data for integration testing — e.g., draft orders or manual stops with your own contacts — before pushing to production.

See: API Getting Started

Does EasyRoutes work without Shopify?

Yes. EasyRoutes for Web lets you plan and manage deliveries without a Shopify store. Import orders by CSV/API/webhooks or add manual stops.

See: Apps & Integrations

Can I balance stops evenly across several routes?

Yes. Enable Balance routes to distribute stops as evenly as possible across multiple routes/drivers while respecting other route constraints (like time windows, or item/weight limits).

See: Balance routes · How many routes?

Do I need coding skills to connect WooCommerce with EasyRoutes?

No coding is required if you use Zapier. For advanced integrations, API skills may be useful.

See: API Getting Started •  Integrate EasyRoutes with Zapier

Is there a free trial?

Yes. EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web include a 14‑day free trial on any tier, so you can test our advanced features before subscribing.

See: Plans & Pricing

Can I balance stops evenly across multiple routes?

Yes. Enable Balance routes to distribute stops as evenly as possible across multiple routes/drivers while respecting other route constraints (like time windows, or item/weight limits).

See: Balance routes · How many routes?

How do I edit a driver’s details?

Edit a driver’s name, phone, or profile from the Drivers & Vehicles tab in your EasyRoutes navigation menu. Drivers can also update their profile name in the mobile app.

See: Editing Driver Info

Can I use Workflows with Wix orders?

Yes. Imported or synced Wix orders can trigger EasyRoutes Workflows. See: Workflows Overview

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

Will drivers get notified when assigned a route?

Yes. Assigned drivers receive a push notification when a route is dispatched to them, linking straight into the route in the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver mobile app.

See: Dispatch Notifications

Do Workflows work with both Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web?

Yes. Workflows are available across both platforms. In Shopify, they integrate tightly with your store’s orders and fulfillments (both Shopify-native and custom/imported stops), while on EasyRoutes for Web, they connect with your imported, custom, or API-generated orders.

See: Workflows Setup

What are the main benefits of using EasyRoutes with WooCommerce?

Route optimization, notifications, real-time tracking, analytics, proof of delivery, and an easy-to-use driver app - all in the same platform.

See: WooCommerce Integration

Are there any differences in the customer experience between products?

Customers get the same experience on both: branded tracking pages with ETAs, real-time updates, and proof-of-delivery receipts (photos, e-signature, notes, GPS). With Shopify, you can also use Shopify’s built-in email/SMS templates; on Web, you’ll use EasyRoutes’ customizable notifications. Either way, you control timing, content, and branding for each status.

See: Tracking pages · Delivery notifications · Proof of Delivery

Can I route imported orders alongside Shopify orders?

Yes. Import external orders via CSV, API, or Zapier, or add custom stops manually. These orders can then be planned together alongside any Shopify orders in one route.

See: Adding Custom Stops

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
