Go to Settings > Delivery Zones and click Create zone above the map. Use the polygon tool to click points on the map and trace your area, then click back on your first point to close the shape. Give the zone a title and pick a route colour, then save. Once created, enable the Delivery zones Route Option to limit a route to orders inside that zone. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

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.
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
SMS delivery notifications use usage-based pricing by recipient country and message length. Costs are per segment (e.g., a U.S. segment is $0.043 USD). Longer messages or those with emojis/Unicode may use multiple segments. You fund a prepaid SMS balance and can enable auto-top-ups so notifications continue without interruption.
Yes. You can add an EasyRoutes-native QR code to your packing slips and packing labels from Settings > Packing Slips & Labels by enabling the Show QR code option and setting its position. Drivers can then scan these codes with the Delivery Driver app to confirm the right order at the right stop, and you can optionally require a successful scan before a stop is marked Delivered or Attempted. Supported in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Barcode scanning
Drivers can capture multiple photos, obtain a customer e‑signature, and add notes at the stop. These items are stored with timestamps and the completion context, and they’re visible to admins on the route and stop record. When enabled in EasyRoutes Settings, customers can see PoD on tracking pages and in notifications.
See: Proof of Delivery
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.
EasyRoutes functions like other public Shopify apps: one app install per store. If you operate multiple stores, you can plan centrally by importing stops from other stores (CSV, API, webhooks/Zapier) into the EasyRoutes workspace you use for routing. This approach lets you manage a combined delivery day while preserving each store’s native Shopify workflows.
Yes. When creating multiple routes as a group, use the Balance routes feature to spread stops evenly across drivers and routes. Balancing respects your other settings — such as max route duration, max stops/items, custom start/end locations, and time windows — so each route remains feasible. You can also choose to create and auto‑assign routes to selected drivers, then re‑optimize each route to fine‑tune their sequence and ETAs. This feature is available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web and is especially helpful for daily batch planning.
See: Balance routes · How many routes?
Yes. In EasyRoutes for Shopify you can choose between EasyRoutes’ customizable notifications and Shopify’s built‑in notifications. When using Shopify templates, EasyRoutes maps delivery events (e.g., Out for Delivery, Delivered; Missed Delivery for Local Delivery) to Shopify’s corresponding notifications and attaches the tracking link on fulfillment. To prevent double‑sending, review Shopify’s notification settings and disable overlapping templates when EasyRoutes emails/SMS are enabled.
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.
Setup is quick: install EasyRoutes (Shopify) or sign in (Web), connect drivers, select orders with filters, and click Create route. Use the defaults for service times and route options, then print or dispatch to the driver app. Most trial users reach a working route within an hour, often faster with our step‑by‑step guide.
If you import orders from outside Shopify, start with a small CSV or a few manual stops to validate the flow before scaling.
Yes. Use EasyRoutes Order Filters to build the batch you want to route. Common filters include delivery date ranges, order/fulfillment status, tags, and geography (postal/ZIP code, city, country, or your own delivery zones). Filters apply to Shopify orders and any imported/manual stops so a single route can cover precisely the area and schedule you intend.
See: Order Filters
Admins can monitor each active route from the Tracking tab: view a live GPS pin, the recent breadcrumb path, and which stop the driver is headed to now. Stop tiles update in real time with status changes and completion times, and proof of delivery (photos, signature, notes) appears as soon as it’s captured. You can also open a Route Group to watch multiple routes/drivers concurrently.
See: Real-Time Driver Location Tracking · EasyRoutes Activity Feed
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.
Setup is quick: install EasyRoutes (Shopify) or sign in (Web), connect drivers, select orders with filters, and click Create route. Use the defaults for service times and route options, then print or dispatch to the driver app. Most trial users reach a working route within an hour, often faster with our step‑by‑step guide.
If you import orders from outside Shopify, start with a small CSV or a few manual stops to validate the flow before scaling.
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
Yes. EasyRoutes supports Shopify Subscription orders, so recurring deliveries can be filtered and routed with your daily batch. Many subscription and checkout tools are supported out of the box; you can also combine with imported/manual stops for non‑Shopify channels. Tracking, notifications, and proof of delivery function the same as for one‑time orders.
See: How does EasyRoutes work with subscriptions? · Supported third‑party apps
EasyRoutes calculates ETAs from drive times and your configured service time per stop, adjusting for start/end locations, stop priorities, and time windows. As drivers complete stops, ETAs refresh automatically based on actual timing. The best results come from accurate addresses, realistic service times, and consistent driver start times.
Customers see ETAs on tracking pages and (optionally) receive updates via email/SMS.
Drivers can capture multiple photos, obtain a customer e‑signature, and add notes at the stop. These items are stored with timestamps and the completion context, and they’re visible to admins on the route and stop record. When enabled in EasyRoutes Settings, customers can see PoD on tracking pages and in notifications.
See: Proof of Delivery
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.
Your on-time rate reflects the share of deliveries completed within their scheduled delivery window, based on the timestamps captured when drivers mark stops complete. Open the Analytics tab and choose a time period (and optionally a driver) to see on-time performance alongside completion rates and delivery durations. Route scheduling and time windows need to be set for on-time measurement to be meaningful. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Analytics
Drivers can install the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) using the official links provided in our Help Center. The app works with both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web accounts; once added as a driver, sign in using the phone number on file and the SMS code sent to that device. After dispatch, routes appear automatically in the app and can also be opened from the push notification's shared route link.
See: Where can I download the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app?
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.
Yes. If a Shopify order arrives without a valid shipping address, EasyRoutes highlights it so you can fix the address before planning. Edit the order in Shopify (preferred for data accuracy) or add the correct address details to the stop in EasyRoutes, then refresh and route. For pickup orders, set the address to your store or pickup point so drivers and staff can see the correct location on the route map and in documents. Address completeness ensures accurate ETAs, navigation, and proof‑of‑delivery records.
See: My order does not have a shipping address—how do I add one?
Instead of paying for individual drivers, with EasyRoutes you just pay for a driver seat and can put any driver in your roster into that seat.For example, you could have a plan with two driver seats, but have four drivers in your driver roster. You can easily change which two drivers are active at any given time. And, if you have a busy delivery weekend, you can add seats for the additional drivers for that weekend, and then remove the seats after you're done with them. We prorate the charges and credits for upgrading and downgrading based on the changes in the number of seats on your plan.
