Can I view missed delivery reasons?

Yes. Aggregate missed vs. completed counts appear in Analytics, and when a stop cannot be completed, the driver can select or enter a reason in the mobile app. Those reasons are recorded on the stop and visible to admins for follow‑up. Reviewing these notes helps you spot patterns — like frequent access issues at certain buildings — and take corrective action.

Use Analytics to quantify the impact over time, then drill into routes and stops to see the exact explanations and any attached proof (photos/notes). This behaviour is consistent across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Missed Delivery Reasons

Does EasyRoutes keep a history of my past routes?

Yes. EasyRoutes maintains a route history so you can review previous runs, proof of delivery, and timing information on either EasyRoutes product (Shopify and Web). Use the Routes page to filter by status (unstarted/in progress/completed/archived) and date. Open any route to view stop details and the Activity Feed particulars for that route. You can also export route/stop data for period‑end reporting or audits.

If you don’t see older orders on the Orders page, adjust the Show orders from the last window in Settings; this does not affect existing route history.

See: How do I see old orders or routes?

Can I track more than one route simultaneously?

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

How do drivers sign in to the app?

To sign in, add the driver to your EasyRoutes account (Shopify or Web) with their phone number. The driver installs the app and enters that number; we send a one‑time SMS code to complete sign‑in. Routes assigned to that number appear automatically. If a driver changes phone numbers, update their driver profile so dispatch and permissions match.

See: How do I sign in or sign up for EasyRoutes Delivery Driver?

Are there any differences in the customer experience between products?

Customizable delivery status notifications (both email and SMS), order tracking pages including delivery ETAs, real-time driver location tracking, and Proof of Delivery (photos, eSignature, driver note, delivery GPS location) are all broadly supported on both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

Customers receiving deliveries via either platform will benefit from the same user experience, tailored to meet your brand’s standards.

See: Tracking pages · Delivery notifications · Proof of Delivery

Does tracking continue if the driver closes the app?

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.

See: Real-Time Driver Location Tracking · Troubleshooting mobile issues

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 combine WooCommerce orders with orders from other platforms in EasyRoutes?

Yes. One of EasyRoutes’ strengths is its ability to centralize delivery management. You can import WooCommerce orders via CSV or Zapier while also syncing Shopify, BigCommerce, or other platform orders into the same account. EasyRoutes will display all of them together so you can generate optimized routes across multiple sales channels.

See: WooCommerce Overview

How often is analytics data updated?

Analytics reflects new data shortly after drivers complete or update stops in the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app. Because updates depend on device connectivity and permissions, you may see a brief delay if a driver is offline; once the device reconnects, metrics catch up automatically. For the most granular timeline, open the route and review the Activity Feed, which lists each delivery event as it occurred.

This live‑update behaviour applies to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. If numbers look stale, refresh the page or adjust your date/driver filters and try again.

See: Delivery Analytics · Activity Feed

Can I route Shopify Local Delivery and Pickup orders?

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?

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 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

What can I do with EasyRoutes’ Zapier integration?

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

Does EasyRoutes support 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

Can the API update route status?

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.

See: API Getting Started Guide · EasyRoutes Routes API

Will customers see proof of delivery along with live tracking?

Yes. Proof of delivery (PoD) captured in the driver app — photos, signature confirmation, and driver notes — is attached to the stop and can be surfaced on the customer’s tracking page. Enable PoD display in EasyRoutes Settings → Order tracking, and use notifications to share links automatically when a stop is delivered or attempted. PoD is also visible to admins on the route and order records for auditing and support.

See: Proof of Delivery · Customizable Order Tracking Pages

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?

What are the main benefits of using EasyRoutes with Wix?

Connecting Wix to EasyRoutes unlocks the complete last-mile toolkit: multi-stop route optimization, live driver tracking, proof of delivery (photos, signatures, notes), branded notifications, and delivery analytics. Together, these tools help Wix merchants scale delivery operations, save dispatcher time, and provide customers with a professional, reliable delivery experience. See: EasyRoutes for Wix

Does EasyRoutes integrate with BigCommerce?

Yes. EasyRoutes supports BigCommerce orders in several ways. You can export orders from BigCommerce and import them into EasyRoutes via CSV, or use Zapier and our API for real-time automation. This lets you start quickly with spreadsheet imports and grow into fully automated workflows as your delivery operation scales.

See: BigCommerce Integration

Can I combine Squarespace orders with orders from other platforms?

Yes. EasyRoutes allows you to centralize multi-platform order management. You can import Squarespace orders via CSV or Zapier while also syncing Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or Wix orders into the same account. This lets you plan optimized delivery routes that combine orders from different sales channels. See: Squarespace Integration

Can EasyRoutes sync Wix orders automatically?

Yes. While CSV imports are manual, you can connect Wix to EasyRoutes automatically using Zapier or our API. For example, you can create a Zap that triggers whenever a new Wix order is placed, sending it directly to EasyRoutes for route creation. Advanced users can also use the API to sync orders and updates in real time, keeping your delivery workflow fully automated. See: Zapier Integration

Can I preview my notifications before sending them?

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.

See: Delivery Notifications – Email & SMS

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 I group routes together for easier dispatching?

Yes. When you create several routes together, EasyRoutes places them in a Route Group so you can manage a delivery day (or multiple zones) as a single unit. From the group page you can dispatch all routes, view colour‑coded live driver pins, move stops between routes, and balance workloads. Route Groups work the same in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web and are ideal for medium/large fleets or recurring delivery days.

See: Route Groups

Can I test the API in a sandbox environment?

While there isn’t a separate public sandbox, you can safely test in a non‑production environment. Create a test shop (Shopify) or an EasyRoutes for Web workspace with sample data, generate a dedicated API token, and point webhooks to staging URLs. Use draft orders or manual stops that contain your own contact info so notifications and tracking tests go only to your team. When your flows are validated, switch credentials and endpoints to production.

See: EasyRoutes API Getting Started Guide

Can EasyRoutes sync Xero orders automatically?

CSV imports are manual, but Zapier and the EasyRoutes API let you automate the process. With Zapier, new Xero invoices can be sent directly to EasyRoutes as soon as they’re created. With the API, developers can build real-time integrations that sync orders and updates automatically, keeping your delivery pipeline fully up to date. See: Zapier Integration Guide
