Yes. In EasyRoutes for Shopify you decide whether to send messages using EasyRoutes’ customizable templates, or Shopify’s native notification flows. EasyRoutes writes tracking details to the Shopify fulfillment so the order status page and Shopify notifications include the correct link. If you enable both systems, review your templates to prevent duplicate emails/SMS.
Configuration lives in EasyRoutes notification settings; Shopify templates are managed in your Shopify admin.
Yes. When a stop can’t be completed, drivers mark it Attempted instead of Delivered from the Update Status section on the stop. They can choose a preset reason (for example, no answer, inaccessible, or Canceled) and add a note or proof of delivery to document what happened. The reason then appears on the stop’s details and feeds into your delivery analytics. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
Yes. Real‑time tracking is configurable. You can enable tracking for dispatcher visibility while keeping customer pages static, or allow a live pin to appear only as the driver approaches (configurable from 1 to 10 stops away). This setting is available on Premium/Enterprise plans across both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
Yes. You can constrain every route so product isn't in transit too long. Set Max route duration to cap total hours, use Max stops per route or Max items per route to limit load size, and optimization will automatically create additional routes rather than overrun your limit. Add time windows for the most sensitive stops so they're served first. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
EasyRoutes factors expected traffic conditions into its route optimization and ETA calculations, using live map and traffic data to sequence stops and estimate arrival times. As conditions or your stops change, you can re-optimize at any time and EasyRoutes recalculates the most efficient order. This works alongside options like time windows, toll avoidance, and stop priorities. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

We offer a self‑serve Help Center with step‑by‑step guides and videos, plus email support from our team during business hours (ET). Most questions are resolved the same business day. Accounts on the Enterprise plan receive prioritized responses and onboarding help. For incident updates, check our public status page; for billing and plan questions, see the pricing page.

The WebToffee “Order Export & Import for WooCommerce” plugin is one of the recommended tools for exporting WooCommerce orders to CSV. It lets you configure export settings like separating line items, which ensures EasyRoutes can correctly map customer and order details. Other export tools may work, but WebToffee is the most commonly documented and tested option.
Yes. Use EasyRoutes Workflows to auto‑create routes daily, weekly, or monthly from saved filters or route templates. For fixed runs, copy an existing route (or selected stops) to a new date, then re‑optimize for current constraints. These options are available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web and pair well with auto‑dispatch for hands‑off mornings.
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.
Yes. Time windows are supported in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. Add a window directly to a stop, or pull windows from checkout tools/date pickers (e.g., Zapiet, Buunto, and other supported third‑party apps). This way, our route optimizer sequences stops to respect open/close times while considering start/end locations, stop times, and other limits. If windows create conflicts that exceed constraints (e.g., max duration), split stops into additional routes or relax limits, then re‑optimize. ETAs displayed to drivers and customers reflect these windows so deliveries align with customer preferences as closely as possible.
Yes. EasyRoutes reads Shopify Local Delivery details (including delivery instructions from checkout) and adds them to the stop for drivers. If you maintain Pickup orders and want them represented on a route — for example, to stage curbside handoff or transfer to another location — you can include them with your store or pickup address so the task appears in sequence and on printed documents.
See: Where can I see delivery instructions from a Shopify Local Delivery order?
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. You can generate packing slips for each stop from the route’s Print menu. Choose Packing slips to produce slips in route order, then print or save as PDF for digital handoff. Customize content (logo, variables, formatting) from EasyRoutes Settings → Packing Slips & Labels.
EasyRoutes for Shopify: Use the built-in Print Preview, or send orders to Shopify’s Order Printer/Order Printer Pro for custom templates (Order Printer Pro supports route order).
EasyRoutes for Web: Use the same Print Preview and Settings controls directly in the web app.
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.

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.

Yes. EasyRoutes opens your driver’s preferred navigation app for turn‑by‑turn directions. Drivers can choose Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Waze as their default navigation app from the mobile app's settings page. Drivers can also long tap and choose a different app on the fly if needed. Getting directions is available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
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. Open any template in the Notifications editor and use Preview with Example Data to see how your message will render, including variables. You can also send a real‑world test by creating a draft order or manual stop with your own contact details, and triggering notifications on a sample route. Preview/testing tools are available for both email and SMS on Shopify and Web.
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.
Yes. You can direct the route optimizer to avoid tolls and or u‑turns for both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. These preferences guide the routing engine to favour compliant roads and turns, which may increase distance or time if alternatives cover a greater distance. Set these options globally from the Route Options panel, or add them to an existing route and re‑optimize to apply. Combine with other constraints (such as time windows, max route duration, or vehicle capacity) to keep routes realistic for drivers and accurate for customer ETAs.
See: Route Options
EasyRoutes for Shopify is seamlessly integrated into merchants’ Shopify Admin, and can be accessed directly from the navigation menu or search bar after logging into Shopify. Permissions to create, edit, and dispatch delivery routes are limited to the same individuals who have a Shopify user account with full login access to a store’s Shopify Admin.
EasyRoutes for Web uses a standalone web browser-based login, with no Shopify account required to sign up, import your orders, and access route planning tools. With EasyRoutes for Web, route planning administrators can invite additional users to their organization’s account who can then access select EasyRoutes functionality.

Analytics reports are viewed in the dashboard and exported on demand — open any breakdown and use Export to copy the data or download a CSV. There isn’t a built-in scheduler that emails recurring reports automatically. If you need that, you can export on a cadence yourself, or use the EasyRoutes API and webhooks (with a tool like Zapier) to pull delivery data into your own reporting. Applies to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Analytics
Zapier’s app directory includes thousands of CRMs, ERPs, and productivity tools. With EasyRoutes as the trigger, you can automatically update customer records in HubSpot when a delivery is completed, or sync invoice statuses in NetSuite when routes are dispatched. This ensures delivery data flows into the rest of your business systems seamlessly. See: Zapier App Directory
Yes. The EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app runs on both phones and tablets — it’s available for iOS (including iPad) and Android devices. The interface is optimized for a phone in the vehicle, but it works on larger tablet screens too. Just install it from the App Store or Google Play and sign in with the driver’s phone number. The same app serves drivers on both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
EasyRoutes for Shopify is best suited for merchants who already sell goods or services within the Shopify ecosystem. Users can plan optimized delivery routes with all orders received through their Shopify storefront, created via draft orders, or imported manually as custom stops.
EasyRoutes for Shopify integrates seamlessly with the Shopify Admin and dozens of leading third-party apps, making it the ideal choice for Shopify merchants seeking a streamlined local delivery solution.
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.
