Can I use EasyRoutes at multiple locations?

Yes. EasyRoutes supports multi‑location operations. You can set unique start/end locations on routes (store, warehouse, driver home base), segment orders by delivery zone or location tags, and dispatch drivers from different hubs on the same day. Route Groups make it easy to manage several routes per location and monitor all drivers together.

This applies across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Delivering from multiple locations or warehouses

Can I use Workflows with WooCommerce orders?

Yes. After your WooCommerce orders are imported into EasyRoutes (via CSV, Zapier, or API), you can use EasyRoutes’ Workflows to automate the next steps. For instance, you could create a Workflow that builds and dispatches routes every morning from all WooCommerce orders tagged as “Local Delivery.” This ensures WooCommerce data flows into the same automation engine used across EasyRoutes.

See: Workflows Overview

Can customers give feedback via their tracking page?

Yes. Delivery Ratings allow recipients to provide quick feedback from the tracking page right after their order is delivered. You can collect a star rating and an optional comment, then export results or segment by driver to monitor individual performance and service quality. Ratings help highlight coaching opportunities and verify customer satisfaction trends over time.

See: Delivery Ratings

Can I see performance trends over time or compare periods?

Yes. The Analytics dashboard lets you pick a time period and, optionally, a second period to compare against, plus break the data down by driver. Trend lines (linear or logarithmic) help visualize the direction of your delivery metrics over time, and longer ranges roll up into weekly or monthly intervals. You can export any breakdown to CSV for deeper analysis. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Analytics

Can proof of delivery be exported for records?

Yes. While the PoD gallery itself isn’t a single file download, route/stop exports include links to each proof item plus completion timestamps and driver details — suitable for audits, customer service, or further analysis with external tools. Use Analytics for high‑level performance metrics and the Activity Feed to review the exact sequence of events.

See: Exporting proof of delivery · How do I export routes/stops?

Can I customize driver permissions?

Yes. From EasyRoutes Settings → Driver settings, define what drivers can access on mobile. Options include letting drivers manually re‑order stops, re‑optimize the remaining sequence mid‑route, and whether to show sensitive customer data (e.g., email, phone, notes). These controls apply to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web so you can tailor the experience to your policies.

See: Configure what is shown to the driver · Driver‑side re‑optimize

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

Can I auto-dispatch routes?

Yes. Enable automatic dispatch so newly created routes with a scheduled start time are assigned and sent to the chosen driver immediately — no extra clicks. Use this for recurring daily runs or integrations that create routes programmatically. You can still edit or un-dispatch a route before start time if plans change.

See: Automatically dispatching a route

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 support different vehicle types or capacities when optimizing?

Yes. EasyRoutes features customizable Vehicle Profiles for different vehicle types, as well as route capacities (e.g., item or weight limits) that can be assigned to a route so our route optimizer respects those limits. Route‑level capacity controls — such as Max items per route and Max weight per route — to prevent overloading a vehicle. Pair capacity settings with other constraints (including custom start/end locations, stop time intervals, and delivery time windows) and re‑optimize to reflect changes. For commercial navigation needs, export routes to GPX and load them onto Garmin devices that support truck‑aware routing.

See: Vehicle Profiles · Max items/weight per route · Commercial vehicles & GPX Export

Who should use EasyRoutes for Shopify?

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.

Can I combine Xero invoices with orders from other platforms?

Yes. EasyRoutes allows you to centralize deliveries across multiple platforms. You can import invoices from Xero alongside Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or Squarespace orders, then optimize routes across all of them in one place.

See: EasyRoutes for Xero

Can I export customer delivery data?

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.

See: How do I export routes/stops?

Does the Delivery Driver app work on tablets as well as phones?

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.

See: Download the Delivery Driver app

Does EasyRoutes support real-time updates for Squarespace orders?

By default, CSV imports are static snapshots of your Squarespace orders. For real-time updates, you can set up Zapier workflows that push new or updated Squarespace orders into EasyRoutes automatically. Alternatively, you can use the EasyRoutes API to sync changes like address updates or cancellations. This ensures your delivery routes always have the latest order information.

See: Zapier Integration

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

Can I send delivery reminders to customers?

Yes. EasyRoutes lets you set up pre‑ and post‑delivery messages so customers know when to expect their order and where to track it. Enable templates like Ready for Delivery, Out for Delivery, and Driver is X Stops Away, customize the copy/branding, and preview with example data. Works for both Shopify-native orders and imported/manual stops.

See: Delivery Notifications – Email & SMS

What actions can I perform in EasyRoutes using Zapier?

Zapier lets you automate actions inside EasyRoutes, such as importing stops from external systems. For example, a Zap could take new orders from WooCommerce or Xero and create delivery stops inside EasyRoutes automatically. This eliminates manual data entry and keeps your routes up-to-date in real time.

See: Zapier Integration Guide

How do I manage my active drivers?

Invite drivers from the Drivers & Vehicles tab, then assign a driver seat to activate them. Deactivate drivers anytime to free a seat without deleting their profile or history. You can switch which people occupy seats as staffing changes — ideal for seasonal or on-call drivers. These controls are available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Add a driver · Activate/deactivate drivers

Who should use EasyRoutes for Web?

EasyRoutes for Web is best suited for merchants and service providers who do not have an existing Shopify presence.  Users may currently be using spreadsheets and manual processes to track orders/stops and plan delivery routes, or may be using an alternate eCommerce platform where orders/stops can be exported into a spreadsheet. We also offer an API.

Spreadsheets containing order data can quickly be imported into EasyRoutes for Web to plan and dispatch optimized delivery routes in a fraction of the time compared to manual planning methods.

See: Import orders from CSV · API: Getting Started · Zapier webhooks

Are barcode scans recorded in the proof-of-delivery log?

Yes. Barcode scans are stored alongside the stop’s other proof of delivery — photos, e-signature, and notes — and can be reviewed live on the Route page or after the route is complete. When you export stop data, you can include Scanned barcodes and Scanned barcode issues columns for your records. This applies in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Proof of Delivery · Barcode scanning

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 many photos can be attached to a stop?

Each stop supports multiple PoD elements: up to four photos, an e‑signature with timestamp, and any driver notes. Use photos for placement/context and the signature for hand‑off confirmation. These items appear in admin views, can be shown on tracking pages (per your settings), and are included via links in route/stop exports for record‑keeping.

See: Proof of Delivery

Can drivers update order statuses from the app?

Yes. Drivers can start their route — triggering Out for Delivery notifications, if enabled — mark individual stops as Delivered or Attempted, and add proof (photos, signature, notes). These updates appear instantly on the route and — if enabled — update customer tracking and notifications. Admins can review all events in the route timeline and export later for records.

See: How do I mark an order as Delivered? · How do I mark an order as Attempted Delivery?

Do Workflows work with both Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web?

Yes. Workflows are available across both EasyRoutes platforms, but their triggers and available actions are tailored to fit the data each platform provides. On Shopify, Workflows integrate tightly with orders, fulfillments, and Shopify-specific tags or delivery methods. On EasyRoutes for Web, you can use Workflows to automate processes based on imported orders (CSV uploads or API connections) and route activity.

This flexibility means that whether you’re using Shopify to manage your e-commerce orders or relying on EasyRoutes for Web to handle deliveries from another system, you can still benefit from automation. Businesses that operate across multiple platforms can use Workflows to keep all of their delivery processes running consistently.

See: Workflows Setup

Can I make proof of delivery mandatory?

Yes. From Proof of Delivery settings, you can force one or more PoD elements to be collected before drivers can complete a stop. Choose the combinations that fit your workflow — e.g., require a photo for attempted stops, or require e‑signatures for only completed stops. These rules apply in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web, and can include Attempted stops.
