Yes. You can add breaks before optimization (by setting the planned break time) or after creating a route (by inserting a break and positioning it between stops). Breaks appear to drivers as a stop in the sequence, and when a break is included in a route, EasyRoutes will recalculate remaining ETAs and the overall route duration. This is useful for lunch windows, mandatory rest periods, or overnight pauses. For multi‑day itineraries, consider splitting different days into separate routes, or using an overnight strategy so customer ETAs align with actual delivery periods.
Yes. If you don’t use Shopify, EasyRoutes for Web provides the same core workflow — order intake, route planning, dispatch, tracking, proof of delivery, and analytics. Bring orders in via CSV uploads, the Routes API, or webhooks/Zapier. You can also mix non‑Shopify orders with Shopify orders if you operate via multiple e-commerce channels.
Customer tracking pages and notifications work the same, and drivers use the same EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app.
Zapier expands EasyRoutes by letting you connect with thousands of popular apps like Google Sheets, Slack, Gmail, and CRMs. You can set up automated workflows such as importing new orders into EasyRoutes, sending delivery updates to your team via Slack, or logging route data into spreadsheets for reporting. This no-code integration makes it easy to streamline operations without custom development. See: EasyRoutes Zapier Integrations
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.
Yes. Use EasyRoutes webhooks as Zap triggers to connect delivery events to apps like Google Sheets, Slack, Gmail, Twilio, HubSpot, and more. Common automations include updating a shared delivery log, notifying customer service when an attempt fails, or sending a custom message when proof of delivery posts. Zapier is supported for both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

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.

Yes. EasyRoutes processes order and customer information to plan routes, power tracking/notifications, and provide proof‑of‑delivery records. We protect this data with modern security practices and retain it according to your account activity and legal requirements. We do not sell personal information; limited sharing may occur with subprocessors strictly to operate EasyRoutes, as described in our privacy policy.
For data removal requests, contact support and we’ll guide you through available options.

Yes. Workflows function on a custom scheduling basis that can be adjusted at any time. Any new Shopify orders received prior to the scheduling cut-off will be included in auto-generated routes. A common Workflow is set up to automatically generate routes with new Shopify orders matching certain filters criteria. This ensures your team can start deliveries without manual intervention.
This also eliminates the need for dispatchers to constantly refresh EasyRoutes or manually select new orders. By ensuring routes are always up-to-date with the latest order data, Workflows help reduce delays, prevent missed deliveries, and keep your delivery operation moving smoothly.
EasyRoutes functions like other public Shopify apps: one app install per store. If you operate multiple stores, you can plan centrally by importing stops from other stores (CSV, API, webhooks/Zapier) into the EasyRoutes workspace you use for routing. This approach lets you manage a combined delivery day while preserving each store’s native Shopify workflows.
Yes. Both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web can surface proof of delivery (PoD) to customers. Enable PoD display on tracking pages and decide which delivery events should send links via email/SMS. When a driver completes a stop, PoD is attached to that stop and becomes available to customers according to your settings. Admins always see PoD in route and stop details for auditing or future reference.
By connecting Squarespace to EasyRoutes, you get access to a full delivery management toolkit: optimized multi-stop routes, real-time driver tracking, branded notifications, proof of delivery (photos, notes, signatures), and delivery analytics. This transforms Squarespace from just an eCommerce storefront into a complete last-mile logistics solution. See: Squarespace Overview
Yes. EasyRoutes supports WooCommerce order data in multiple ways. You can export orders from WooCommerce and import them into EasyRoutes via CSV, or you can set up automated workflows using Zapier or our API. This flexibility allows you to start with simple drag-and-drop imports and scale up to real-time order syncing as your delivery needs grow.
Yes. Set a scheduled start date and time when creating or editing a route. EasyRoutes will use that schedule — plus stop time intervals and any delivery time windows — to calculate ETAs for every stop. Customers can receive their individual ETAs via branded tracking pages and optional email/SMS notifications. If plans change, simply edit the route's schedule, re‑optimize the route, and ETAs will update automatically.
Admins can monitor each active route from the Tracking tab: view a live GPS pin, the recent breadcrumb path, and which stop the driver is headed to now. Stop tiles update in real time with status changes and completion times, and proof of delivery (photos, signature, notes) appears as soon as it’s captured. You can also open a Route Group to watch multiple routes/drivers concurrently.

Absolutely. EasyRoutes supports mixed sources across both products (Shopify and Web). Bring in non‑Shopify orders by uploading a CSV, sending stops through the Routes API, connecting via webhooks/Zapier, or adding custom stops manually. Once imported, they appear alongside Shopify orders on the Orders page, can be filtered like any other stop, and can be optimized together on the same route.
See: Adding custom stops from outside Shopify · Routes API · Webhooks & Zapier
Yes. Integrate EasyRoutes with your existing stack in two ways: (1) programmatically via the Routes API to import stops, create/dispatch routes, and update status; and (2) event‑driven with webhooks and Zapier to push delivery events into Sheets, Slack, email, ERPs/CRMs, or custom endpoints. These options are available for both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: API Getting Started Guide · Integrate webhooks with Zapier
Yes. Programmatically modify routes and stops using the Routes API — update stop status (delivered/attempted), change assignments, dispatch routes to drivers, or edit route options, then re‑optimize as needed. When your store uses EasyRoutes notifications, status changes made through the API follow the same rules and can send customer updates and refresh ETAs. This applies to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
Yes. EasyRoutes continues to receive driver location while the app runs in the background, as long as device permissions allow background/precise access and battery optimization doesn’t suspend the app. If the user force‑quits the app, turns off location, or the OS stops background services to save power, live updates may pause. Reopening the driver app resumes tracking and ETAs will refresh accordingly.

SMS delivery notifications use usage-based pricing by recipient country and message length. Costs are per segment (e.g., a U.S. segment is $0.043 USD). Longer messages or those with emojis/Unicode may use multiple segments. You fund a prepaid SMS balance and can enable auto-top-ups so notifications continue without interruption.
SMS usage fees and monthly pricing tiers are identical for both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web, with the exception of our Free monthly pricing tier, which is currently only available on EasyRoutes for Shopify. EasyRoutes for both platforms continues to offer a free 14-day trial of any pricing tier for new users to give a advanced features a test drive. Both platforms function on the same driver seat model, where you only pay for the number of drivers that are active in your account at any time.
EasyRoutes for Shopify uses Shopify’s native billing tools for all subscription and SMS usage top-ups and monthly invoicing. EasyRoutes for Web functions on the same principles, but uses an independent billing provider offering industry-standard security and encryption for all transactions.

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.

Workflows allow you to automate many of the repetitive tasks that take up valuable time in your day-to-day delivery management. For example, if you typically log in each morning to create routes, assign them to drivers, and send customers notifications, Workflows can be set up to handle all of that automatically based on rules you define. This saves your dispatchers hours of work each week and helps eliminate mistakes, such as forgetting to notify a customer or leaving a route unassigned.
Automation also improves reliability — your drivers and customers can count on consistent, timely updates regardless of how busy your team is. In short, Workflows help standardize your operations so they run smoothly, even when volumes are high or resources are stretched thin.
See: Workflows Guide
API access uses tokens you create in your EasyRoutes account. Follow the Getting Started guide to generate a token, store it securely, and add it to requests from your server or integration platform. Tokens work the same way for both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. Rotate credentials periodically and avoid embedding them in client‑side code.
Yes. When creating multiple routes as a group, use the Balance routes feature to spread stops evenly across drivers and routes. Balancing respects your other settings — such as max route duration, max stops/items, custom start/end locations, and time windows — so each route remains feasible. You can also choose to create and auto‑assign routes to selected drivers, then re‑optimize each route to fine‑tune their sequence and ETAs. This feature is available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web and is especially helpful for daily batch planning.
See: Balance routes · How many routes?
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.
