Do date picker cutoffs, lead times, or blackouts sync?

The cutoff, lead-time, and blackout-date rules you configure live inside your date picker app and control what customers can select at checkout — EasyRoutes doesn't import those rules. What it does read is the resulting delivery date and time window the app writes onto each order, which it then uses for filtering and routing. So the customer-facing scheduling limits stay with your picker, while EasyRoutes plans around the dates and windows they produce. This applies to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

Is Zapier available for both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web?

Zapier integration is available whether you’re using EasyRoutes for Shopify or EasyRoutes for Web. Shopify users can extend native integrations with Zapier for additional automations, while non-Shopify users can rely on Zapier to connect EasyRoutes with their eCommerce, ERP, or POS platforms. This makes Zapier a universal automation layer for all EasyRoutes users.

See: Platform Support

Does EasyRoutes support age-restricted (e.g., alcohol) deliveries?

EasyRoutes doesn't include a dedicated age-verification or age-gating feature, so it won't automatically confirm a recipient's age. You can still operate alcohol, CBD, or other age-restricted delivery routes and enforce the check at the door: require an e-signature and/or photo to mark the stop delivered, and add a required Driver Task (e.g., "ID checked, recipient 21+") the driver must complete first.

Note that age-gated content isn't supported for SMS notifications. These options work in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Proof of Delivery · Driver Tasks

How does EasyRoutes optimize my delivery routes?

EasyRoutes builds efficient routes by combining your inputs (orders/stops and addresses) with constraints and preferences. It accounts for start and end locations, optional time windows, per‑stop service times, speed factors, and limits such as maximum duration, stops, items, or weight. You can create multiple routes at once, balance stops evenly, or optimize for the fewest routes that still meet your limits. After reviewing the map and stop list, drag‑and‑drop stops to make manual adjustments, then re‑optimize to apply changes.

What types of 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

Is EasyRoutes multilingual?

Yes. You can translate and brand customer‑facing tracking pages and notifications so recipients see messages in their language. EasyRoutes displays order/customer fields as they are provided by your source system (e.g., Shopify), making it straightforward to serve multilingual buyers. This applies across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. Additionally, the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver mobile app supports automatic translations to French, Spanish, Dutch, and German on both iOS and Android devices.

See: Language options

Can I share proof of delivery via tracking links?

Yes. Both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web can display proof of delivery (PoD) on the customer’s tracking page right after a stop is marked Delivered or Attempted. PoD can include delivery photos, e‑signature confirmation, and optional driver notes. Turn this on from EasyRoutes Settings → Order tracking, and use notifications (email/SMS) to send tracking links automatically. For internal auditing, PoD is also visible on the route and stop records for your team.

See: Proof of Delivery · Customizable Order Tracking Pages

How do I import WooCommerce orders into EasyRoutes?

Importing WooCommerce orders is straightforward. Using a plugin like WebToffee, you can export orders from your WooCommerce dashboard in CSV format. Once exported, you simply drag and drop the CSV file into EasyRoutes. The system will map fields like customer name, address, and quantity automatically, and you can confirm or adjust mappings before creating optimized delivery routes. This makes it easy to bring WooCommerce data into your delivery workflow.

See: WooCommerce Import Guide

How does route optimization work on EasyRoutes?

EasyRoutes builds efficient routes by combining your inputs (orders/stops and addresses) with constraints and preferences. It accounts for start and end locations, optional time windows, per‑stop service times, speed factors, and limits such as maximum duration, stops, items, or weight. You can create multiple routes at once, balance stops evenly, or optimize for the fewest routes that still meet your limits. After reviewing the map and stop list, drag‑and‑drop stops to make manual adjustments, then re‑optimize to apply changes.

Can Workflows trigger when new Shopify orders come in?

Yes. Workflows function on a custom scheduling basis that can be adjusted at any time. Any new Shopify orders received prior to the scheduling cut-off will be included in auto-generated routes. A common Workflow is set up to automatically generate routes with new Shopify orders matching certain filters criteria. This ensures your team can start deliveries without manual intervention.

This also eliminates the need for dispatchers to constantly refresh EasyRoutes or manually select new orders. By ensuring routes are always up-to-date with the latest order data, Workflows help reduce delays, prevent missed deliveries, and keep your delivery operation moving smoothly.

See: Shopify Order Triggers

Does EasyRoutes for Web offer any third-party app or API integrations?

Yes! You can use EasyRoutes' API to customize your integration and build powerful workflows to suit your specific delivery needs. You can also connect EasyRoutes webhooks to Zapier to unlock seamless, no-code workflows with your favourite apps and services, triggered by route updates in EasyRoutes.

How do I edit a driver’s details?

Go to tDrivers & Vehicles, open the driver, and edit their name, phone number, or notes. If a phone number changes, update it here so dispatch and sign‑in continue to work. Drivers may also edit their display name inside the Delivery Driver app.

See: How do I change a driver’s name?

What BigCommerce export settings should I use?

When exporting from BigCommerce, configure your CSV template to create one row per sub-item (so multiple items in an order export properly). Map fields like First Name, Last Name, Address, and Product Qty to the corresponding EasyRoutes columns. This ensures accurate imports and prevents issues with incomplete customer or item data.

See: Importing CSV Orders

Can I export packing slip data instead of printing?

Yes. You can keep slips digital. From the route’s Print menu, select Packing slips and choose your browser/OS option to Save as PDF. This yields a single file ordered by the route for easy sharing.

This is supported in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web and is useful for handing off to 3PLs or warehouse teams that prefer tablet-based picking.

See: How do I create a PDF of my route?

Can I combine Wix orders with other platform orders in EasyRoutes?

Yes. EasyRoutes is designed to unify multi-platform delivery operations. You can import Wix orders and combine them with orders from Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or other sources. All orders appear in one dashboard, so you can generate optimized multi-stop routes across platforms.

See: EasyRoutes for Wix

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

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?

Can drivers capture proof of delivery from the app?

Yes. The EasyRoutes Delivery Driver mobile app supports complete proof of delivery: capture multiple photos, obtain a customer e‑signature, and add notes (e.g., where the parcel was left). PoD is stored with the stop and visible to admins; if you enable PoD on tracking pages, customers can view it as well. PoD uploads immediately when a driver has an active internet connection, and will sync when re-connected if captured while offline.

See: Proof of Delivery

Does the app provide turn‑by‑turn navigation?

Yes. EasyRoutes opens your driver’s preferred navigation app for turn‑by‑turn directions. Drivers can choose Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Waze as their default navigation app from the mobile app's settings page. Drivers can also long tap and choose a different app on the fly if needed. Getting directions is available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: How do I select a navigation app? · Getting Directions

Can I deactivate a driver seat without removing the driver?

Yes. If a driver is seasonal or temporarily inactive, they can be temporarily deactivated until required again. The driver’s profile, history, and assignments remain in your account, but they cannot receive routes or sign in until re‑activated. This helps control costs without losing configuration.

Manage seats from the Drivers & Vehicles tab of the EasyRoutes navigation menu. Works in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: How do I manage my active driver seats?

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

What is the Activity Feed in EasyRoutes?

The Activity Feed provides an up‑to‑date audit trail across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. It records events like route creation/dispatch, stop status updates (Out for Delivery, Delivered, Attempted), driver assignments, and proof‑of‑delivery uploads. Use it to investigate issues, answer customer inquiries with precise timestamps, and validate operational changes during a delivery day.

See: Activity Feed

Can I customize the branding of the customer tracking page?

Yes. Your customer tracking page carries your branding — add your logo and adjust the look from EasyRoutes Settings > Order Tracking, and choose which order details and delivery information customers see. Paired with your notification settings, customers get a consistent, branded experience with live ETAs and driver location. This is separate from your email/SMS template customization. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Order tracking pages

What are the digital inventory/loading checklists and how do drivers use them?

EasyRoutes automatically builds an inventory (packing checklist) for every route so drivers know exactly what to load before heading out. In the Delivery Driver app, tap Inventory below the map to switch between Summary view (all items and quantities for the route), Items view (each item with its stop), and Orders view (items per stop in route order). Drivers can check items off as they load. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Using the Delivery Driver app

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

Where can drivers download the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app?

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.
