Can proof of delivery items be shared with customers?

Yes. You can show proof of delivery items (photos, e‑signature timestamp, and driver notes) on customer tracking pages and include links in email/SMS notifications. Configure this from your EasyRoutes Settings, in the Order Tracking and Customer Notifications tabs.

See: Sharing Proof of Delivery · Order Tracking Pages

Is the Activity Feed visible to drivers?

No. The feed is visible to admin/dispatcher roles in the web app; drivers see only their assigned routes in the mobile app.

See: Activity Feed

Does the app send push notifications for new routes?

Yes. When a route is dispatched and assigned, the driver receives a push notification with a shortcut into the route (requires notification permission).

See: Route Dispatch

How do I authenticate API requests?

Use an access token generated from your EasyRoutes account and include it with each request per the API Getting Started guide found in the EasyRoutes support portal.

See: API Getting Started

How does EasyRoutes optimize my delivery routes?

EasyRoutes optimizes deliveries using your selected orders, start & end locations, stop time intervals, time windows, and route limits. You can balance routes, respect capacities, and re‑optimize as plans change.

See: Route Options · EasyRoutes 101

Can I route imported orders alongside Shopify orders?

Yes. Import external orders via CSV, API, or Zapier, or add custom stops manually. These orders can then be planned together alongside any Shopify orders in one route.

See: Adding Custom Stops

Can I auto‑dispatch routes?

Yes. If a scheduled start time is set, routes can be auto‑assigned and dispatched to the selected driver when created.

See: Auto‑Dispatch

Can EasyRoutes connect to multiple Shopify stores?

Each EasyRoutes for Shopify install connects to a single Shopify store. To combine data from additional external sources, import stops via CSV, API, webhooks, or Zapier.

See: Multiple Shopify stores

Is e-signature displayed to customers?

Tracking pages show that a signature was collected and when; for security purposes, the actual signature image isn’t displayed publicly but is retained internally for reference.

See: Proof of Delivery

Does EasyRoutes support different vehicle types or capacities when optimizing?

Yes. EasyRoutes supports Vehicle Profiles you can configure and assign to routes. EasyRoutes also supports capacity planning via item or weight limits per route. Use these with other options (like time windows, or custom start/end locations) to keep plans realistic and drivers on schedule.

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

Does EasyRoutes integrate with Squarespace?

Yes. You can connect Squarespace orders to EasyRoutes via CSV import, Zapier, or the EasyRoutes API. See: EasyRoutes for Squarespace

Can I re‑optimize a route after it’s created?

Yes. Re‑optimize at any time — after adding or removing stops, changing stop priorities, editing route options, or balancing loads. Drivers can also re-optimize routes delivered out of order, or re‑order stops if enabled from your EasyRoutes Settings.

See: Re‑optimize a route · Re‑ordering stops

How do I manage my drivers?

You can add, remove, and switch drivers in a way that is flexible with your business at anytime from within EasyRoutes. If you need more active drivers, then you'll need to add more drivers on your plan.

See: Add a driver · Activate/deactivate drivers

Can I make proof of delivery required?

Yes. Require photos, e‑signature, and or a driver note individually before a stop can be marked Delivered or Attempted in the driver app.

See: Mandatory PoD

Can I add proof of delivery manually from my web browser?

Yes. Admins can upload photos and notes directly to a stop from the browser if something couldn’t be captured from a mobile device.
