Can I track drivers in real-time?

Yes. With Premium or Enterprise plans, turn on live tracking from EasyRoutes Settings → Driver settings. You’ll see a live GPS pin, breadcrumb path, current/next stop, and real‑time status updates on each route’s Tracking tab. Ensure drivers grant Always/Precise location permissions in the Delivery Driver app. Route Groups let you monitor multiple drivers at once.

See: Real‑Time Driver Location Tracking

Does EasyRoutes integrate with Xero?

Yes. EasyRoutes supports Xero data by letting you export invoices from Xero and import them into EasyRoutes via CSV. For automation, you can connect Xero through Zapier or build custom workflows with the EasyRoutes API. This flexibility allows businesses to start with manual exports and move toward fully automated integrations as they scale. See: Importing Orders from Xero

Is the Activity Feed visible to drivers?

No. The Activity Feed is an internal operations log available to EasyRoutes admins and dispatchers. Drivers use the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app to view assigned routes, update stop statuses, and capture proof of delivery; these events will appear in the Activity Feed for admins, but drivers do not access the account‑wide feed. This separation keeps internal data and audit trails restricted to management.

See: Activity Feed

Can I track multiple routes at once?

Yes. When you create multiple routes together, EasyRoutes groups them so you can monitor all active drivers in a single view. The Route Group page shows color‑coded pins, per‑route progress, and live stop updates. Use this view to coordinate dispatch, answer customer inquiries, and rebalance work if needed by moving stops between routes.

See: Real-Time Driver Location Tracking · Route Groups

Can I schedule routes ahead of time and share ETAs?

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.

See: Route Scheduling & ETAs · Tracking & notifications

How are same-day changes handled?

EasyRoutes is built for dynamic operations. When an order changes or a new request arrives, open the active route, add or remove stops, and click Re‑optimize to calculate the best new sequence for the remaining stops. ETAs and the driver’s stop list update immediately in the mobile app. If needed, move stops between routes to balance workloads, then re‑optimize each route.

Customer tracking pages and notifications reflect the new schedule so recipients stay informed.

See: Adding orders or stops to routes · Re‑optimizing routes

Can I see completed vs. missed deliveries?

Yes. The Analytics dashboard summarizes delivered vs. missed (attempted) stops so you can monitor delivery success across time or by driver. Use this report to identify recurring issues (e.g., address problems or access constraints) and to validate improvements after workflow changes.

For context on individual failures, open the underlying routes or stops to review notes and proof‑of‑delivery entries. You can also export the analytics view as CSV for further analysis or sharing with stakeholders.

See: Analytics Reports

Can I use EasyRoutes Workflows with BigCommerce orders?

Once your BigCommerce orders are in EasyRoutes—whether through CSV, Zapier, or API—they can be used with Workflows to automate repetitive tasks. For example, you could build a Workflow that automatically creates and dispatches routes every morning for all BigCommerce orders tagged “Delivery.” This allows your BigCommerce operation to benefit from the same automation available to Shopify users. See: Workflows Overview

How do I add a driver to EasyRoutes?

Access the Drivers & Vehicles tab from the EasyRoutes navigation menu, click Add driver, and enter the driver’s name and phone number. EasyRoutes sends the invite; the driver installs the Delivery Driver app and signs in with an SMS code. Assign a seat to activate them and dispatch their first route.

See: How do I add a driver?

Can I view order history?

Yes. EasyRoutes keeps historical routes and stops across the lifetime of your subscription, so you can review prior deliveries, proof of delivery, and timing. Use the Routes page filters to view completed or archived runs by date. For reporting or audits, export route/stop CSVs that include timestamps and links to PoD. Applies to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: How do I see old orders or routes?

Can I assign multiple drivers to a single route?

No — routes are single‑driver to keep tracking, ETAs, and proof‑of‑delivery accurate. If two or more drivers are needed, split the stops into multiple routes (or create a new route for leftovers) and dispatch each separately. You can also publish a route without assigning a driver, and share a self‑assign link so someone from your pool can claim it when ready.

See: How driver assignment works

Can I change label sizes?

Yes. EasyRoutes supports multiple label sizes. Pick a base size and text scale in EasyRoutes Settings → Packing Slips & Labels, then confirm your printer uses the matching paper (e.g., 4×6) with an appropriate print scale.

  • If text runs long, try a larger font scale or different label size.
  • If alignment is off, ensure paper size matches and adjust browser/driver scale.
  • You can print to PDF first to verify layout before sending to the printer.

See: How do I print packing labels?

Can proof of delivery items be shared with customers?

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.

See: Share PoD · Tracking Pages · Delivery Notifications

Can I edit routes after they’ve been created?

Yes. Click into a route to make changes: add orders or custom stops, update addresses and service times, change the assigned driver (or vehicle), or edit start/end locations and the scheduled start. Drag‑and‑drop the list to manually adjust the stop sequence, or select multiple stops to bulk‑move them to another route. The editing toolbox is the same in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: How to Edit Routes

Does EasyRoutes integrate with Squarespace?

Yes. EasyRoutes supports Squarespace orders through multiple integration methods. The simplest way is exporting orders from your Squarespace dashboard to CSV and importing them into EasyRoutes. For automation, you can connect Squarespace with Zapier to send orders directly into EasyRoutes, or build custom workflows with the EasyRoutes API. This ensures Squarespace merchants can take advantage of the same delivery optimization and tracking tools available to other platforms. See: Squarespace Integration

Can I send tracking links via SMS?

Yes. Enable SMS in EasyRoutes Settings → Customer notifications and include the tracking URL in templates such as Ready for Delivery, Out for Delivery, Driver is X Stops Away, Delivered, and Missed Delivery. SMS is supported in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web on Premium/Enterprise plans, and is billed per message segment by country. Use the preview tool to verify variables before sending.

See: Delivery Notifications – SMS · EasyRoutes SMS Pricing

What data does Delivery Analytics provide?

Delivery Analytics provides a consolidated view of your operations across both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. Key metrics include total stops and routes, completion rate, attempted/missed deliveries, average delivery time, and per‑driver performance summaries. Use it to compare activity over time, spot bottlenecks, and validate operational changes.

You can filter by time period and specific drivers to focus on a team or individual, then export results to CSV for reporting. For event‑level detail (e.g., when a stop changed status), open the route’s Activity Feed. Analytics refreshes as new delivery events are recorded, so the dashboard stays current throughout the day.

See: Delivery Analytics · Activity Feed

Does EasyRoutes let me avoid tolls or u-turns?

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

Can I dispatch a route to a driver from EasyRoutes?

Yes. From any route you can dispatch to a specific driver, or share a route link that allows self‑assignment by your driver pool. Assigned drivers receive the route in the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app (iOS/Android) with turn‑by‑turn directions via their preferred navigation app. For busy days, combine dispatch with Route Groups to release multiple routes at once and monitor progress on a single screen. This behaviour is consistent across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: How do I dispatch / share routes? · Route Dispatch Links / Driver Self‑Assign

Does EasyRoutes have an API?

Yes. You can integrate EasyRoutes with ERPs, CRMs, WMS, and custom apps using our API and webhooks. Typical use cases include importing stops from non‑Shopify channels, syncing delivery status and proof‑of‑delivery back to your system of record, and powering external analytics collection. The same platform supports both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: API Getting Started Guide · Routes API

Does EasyRoutes offer SMS delivery notifications?

Yes. On Premium/Enterprise plans, you can send SMS notifications for key delivery events (e.g., Ready for Delivery, Out for Delivery, Driver is X stops away, Delivered, Missed Delivery, and optionally Scheduled/Rescheduled). Messages are billed per segment based on the recipient’s country. Customize content and variables in the template editor, and preview with example data before enabling. Pair SMS with email and customer tracking links for full visibility.

See: SMS Pricing · Delivery Notifications – Email & SMS

Does EasyRoutes integrate with Wix?

Yes. EasyRoutes integrates with Wix through multiple methods: you can export orders from Wix to a CSV and import them into EasyRoutes, or use Zapier and our API for automated, real-time workflows. This flexibility means businesses can start quickly with spreadsheet imports and later upgrade to automated integrations as they scale. See: EasyRoutes for Wix

Do I need coding skills to connect WooCommerce with EasyRoutes?

You don’t need to be a developer to connect WooCommerce with EasyRoutes. Zapier provides no-code automation tools that let you push WooCommerce orders directly into EasyRoutes with just a few clicks. For businesses that want more control, the EasyRoutes API is available to build deeper integrations, such as syncing fulfillment statuses or creating custom routing rules. This gives you both no-code and pro-code options.

See: API Getting Started •  Integrate EasyRoutes with Zapier

Can I factor driver breaks into my optimized routes?

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.

See: Driver Breaks · Overnight / Multi‑day routes

How does EasyRoutes optimize my routes?

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.

See: Route Options · EasyRoutes 101: Route Optimization & Route Options

How do I import Xero invoices into EasyRoutes?

From your Xero dashboard, go to the Business tab → Invoices, then use the Export button to download a CSV of the invoices you want to deliver. In EasyRoutes, click “Import new CSV” and upload the file. The system maps fields such as contact name, address, invoice number, and product details to create delivery-ready routes. See: Xero Import Guide
