Does EasyRoutes require internet to run routes?

Planning and dispatching routes requires internet. Drivers can continue deliveries offline if their route was opened while connected, and updates to the route will sync when a connection is restored.

See: Offline Use

Can I export customer delivery data?

Yes. Export route/stop data to CSVs with customer details, timestamps, and links to proof of delivery for record‑keeping or analysis.

See: Exporting Data

How are driver seats billed?

Billing is seat‑based. Pay only for the number of active driver seats, and assign seats to any drivers in your roster and toggle seats on/off as needed. Charges are prorated when you add or remove seats mid‑cycle.

See: Managing Seats · Prorated Billing

Can I schedule 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 automatically sync orders from Shopify?

Yes. New and updated Shopify orders flow into EasyRoutes automatically so your Orders page stays current for planning. If something looks off, refresh and check your date/location filters.

See: Shopify Items & Fulfillments

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

Can I troubleshoot missing or inaccurate tracking data?

Yes. Confirm the route is started, location is set to Always/Precise, battery saver is off, and the app is up to date. If needed, reopen the app to resume tracking.

See: Real-Time Driver Location Tracking

Can I export customer delivery data?

Yes. Export route/stop data to CSVs with customer details, timestamps, and links to proof of delivery for record‑keeping or analysis.

See: Exporting Data

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

Can I manage cash-on-delivery orders?

Yes. Flag COD stops for payment collection and document hand‑off with proof of delivery and route exports.

See: Cash on Delivery
