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 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 EasyRoutes send notifications for Xero deliveries?

Yes. Customers can receive branded notifications and live tracking links. See: Xero Integration

Can proof of delivery items 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

Can I factor driver breaks into 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

Does EasyRoutes integrate with Squarespace?

Yes. You can connect Squarespace orders to EasyRoutes via CSV import, Zapier, or the EasyRoutes API. See: EasyRoutes for Squarespace

What are the main benefits of using EasyRoutes with Wix?

How long is activity feed data stored?

Can I manage recurring deliveries?

Yes. Automate with Workflows to create routes on a custom, recurring schedule, or duplicate prior routes and re‑use their settings/stops in just a few clicks.

See: Workflows · Duplicate routes

Can I share proof of delivery via tracking links?

Yes. You can show proof of delivery (photos, e‑signature confirmation, and driver notes) on customer tracking pages for delivered or attempted stops. Enable this from EasyRoutes' Order Tracking settings.

See: Proof of Delivery · Order Tracking Pages

How do driver seats work?

Driver seats are active licenses you assign to people in your driver roster. Activate a seat to let a driver receive routes in the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app; deactivate a seat to pause access without deleting their profile. You can toggle seats anytime and only pay for the seats on your plan at that moment. Charges/credits are prorated automatically when you add or remove seats.

See: Manage driver seats · Activate/deactivate drivers

Does EasyRoutes support webhooks?

Yes. EasyRoutes webhooks send real‑time route and stop updates to your systems. You can also connect them to Zapier to automate workflows without code.

See: Webhooks & Zapier

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

Can I assign multiple drivers to a single route?

No. Each route has one assigned driver at a time. To share the work, split stops across multiple routes or use self‑assign links on separate routes.

See: Driver Assignment

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

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

Can EasyRoutes sync Xero orders automatically?

Yes, with Zapier or the EasyRoutes API. See: Zapier Guide

Can I notify customers of delivery delays with EasyRoutes?

Yes. Use the customizable Rescheduled notification (email/SMS) to explain delays, provide a new ETA/date, and include the tracking link.

See: Delivery Notifications

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

What types of proof of delivery can EasyRoutes capture?

EasyRoutes supports delivery photos, e‑signature, driver notes, and automatic timestamps (with GPS location when available) to provide a complete delivery record.

See: Proof of Delivery

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

How does EasyRoutes optimize my delivery 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 drivers see customer notes?

Yes. Delivery and customer notes from the order can be shown in the driver app; enable these fields in Route/Driver display settings.

See: Viewing Delivery & Customer Notes

Does EasyRoutes for Web offer the same features as EasyRoutes for Shopify?

Both products include the same core planning and optimization experience—map-based routing, configurable route options, tracking pages, notifications, and proof of delivery. Features that rely on Shopify’s native data/models (e.g., Shopify notifications, order tags, and subscription workflows) aren’t available on EasyRoutes for Web. Some automation tools are Shopify-only.
