Does EasyRoutes handle multiple depots?

Yes. You can operate from several depots in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. For each route, define the start and end locations (a store, local warehouse, or driver’s home base). Filter orders by zone or location tags, build multiple routes, and monitor all drivers together via Route Groups. Printed documents and ETAs reflect different depot travel times automatically.

Can I limit the max duration or stop count on a route?

Yes. You can cap a route by Max route duration, Max stops per route, and Max items per route so optimization never exceeds your operational limits. These constraints shape ETAs, the stop sequence, and whether additional routes are required. Enable or edit these limits from the Route Options panel before creating routes, or open any route and choose Edit route options to apply changes and re‑optimize. This feature functions the same way in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Route Options · Max items/weight per route

Can I notify customers of delivery delays with EasyRoutes?

Yes. In EasyRoutes Settings → Customer notifications, enable the Rescheduled template and customize the message and variables (date, window, tracking link, etc.). Trigger it when routes or stops move to a new day/time so recipients are informed proactively. This works for both Shopify orders and imported/manual stops across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Delivery Notifications – Email & SMS

How do I import Wix orders into EasyRoutes?

Importing Wix orders is easy. From your Wix dashboard, export orders as a CSV file, then log into EasyRoutes and upload the file via the “Import new CSV” option. EasyRoutes automatically maps order fields like name, address, and quantity to ensure your orders are routed correctly. Once imported, your orders appear as pins on the EasyRoutes map for route planning. See: Importing Orders from Wix

How quickly can I get started?

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.

See: EasyRoutes Getting Started Guide

Will drivers get notified when assigned a route?

Yes. When you assign and dispatch a route, EasyRoutes sends the driver a push notification that opens the route in the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver mobile app. If the driver doesn’t receive alerts, confirm notification permission on the device and that the driver is added with the correct phone number. Drivers can also pull‑to‑refresh their route list to fetch new assignments.

See: How do I dispatch/share routes? · Troubleshooting push notifications

Does EasyRoutes automatically sync orders from Shopify?

Yes. EasyRoutes keeps your order list synchronized with Shopify so recent orders, edits, and fulfillment changes are available for routing without manual imports. If an expected order isn’t visible, confirm the Show orders from the last… window, and other filters on the Orders page, then refresh. You can also import non‑Shopify orders alongside synced Shopify orders when needed.

See: How EasyRoutes works with Shopify items & fulfillments

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 share proof of delivery through 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

Can I schedule routes in advance to share ETAs?

Yes. Set a scheduled start date and time when creating or editing a route. EasyRoutes will use that schedule — plus stop time intervals and any delivery time windows — to calculate ETAs for every stop. Customers can receive their individual ETAs via branded tracking pages and optional email/SMS notifications. If plans change, simply edit the route's schedule, re‑optimize the route, and ETAs will update automatically.

See: Route Scheduling & ETAs · Tracking & notifications

Can I print labels for each package?

Yes. From any route, click Print → select Packing labels. You can output one label per stop or per order item (ideal for multiple packages). Configure label contents and sizing in Settings → Packing Slips & Labels. Use 4×6 thermal, A4/Letter sheets, or another size and scale as needed.

Shopify & Web: The label workflow is the same across products. For advanced templating on Shopify, you can send orders to Order Printer Pro from the Send to app dropdown, which can generate labels in route order.

See: How do I print packing labels?

Does the Delivery Driver app work on tablets as well as phones?

Yes. The EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app runs on both phones and tablets — it’s available for iOS (including iPad) and Android devices. The interface is optimized for a phone in the vehicle, but it works on larger tablet screens too. Just install it from the App Store or Google Play and sign in with the driver’s phone number. The same app serves drivers on both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Download the Delivery Driver app

How is real-time driver location shown to customers?

Customer tracking pages can display an anonymized, live driver pin so recipients can see the driver’s progress as delivery approaches. Enable the option in EasyRoutes Settings → Order tracking, and use delivery notifications (email/SMS) to send tracking links automatically. When live location is unavailable (e.g., permissions off), the page still shows status updates and ETAs based on route progress.

See: Real-Time Driver Location Tracking · Customizable Order Tracking Pages

Can the app work offline?

Yes. EasyRoutes Delivery Driver supports low‑connectivity scenarios. Have drivers open or refresh the route while connected to preload stops and attachments. If signal drops, they can continue navigating (via their chosen maps app), mark stops delivered/attempted, and capture photos/signatures. The app queues events locally and syncs them back to EasyRoutes as soon as the device reconnects, updating ETAs and tracking automatically.

See: Can I use EasyRoutes Delivery Driver without a connection?

Does EasyRoutes integrate with Wix?

Yes. EasyRoutes integrates with Wix through multiple methods: you can export orders from Wix to a CSV and import them into EasyRoutes, or use Zapier and our API for automated, real-time workflows. This flexibility means businesses can start quickly with spreadsheet imports and later upgrade to automated integrations as they scale.

See: EasyRoutes for Wix

Can I print packing slips for each stop on a route?

Yes. You can generate packing slips for each stop from the route’s Print menu. Choose Packing slips to produce slips in route order, then print or save as PDF for digital handoff. Customize content (logo, variables, formatting) from EasyRoutes Settings → Packing Slips & Labels.

EasyRoutes for Shopify: Use the built-in Print Preview, or send orders to Shopify’s Order Printer/Order Printer Pro for custom templates (Order Printer Pro supports route order).
EasyRoutes for Web: Use the same Print Preview and Settings controls directly in the web app.

See: Printing Packing Slips

How does the AI-powered spreadsheet import map my columns?

When you upload a spreadsheet, an AI assistant reads your headers and proposes an initial mapping of each column to the matching EasyRoutes field — address, name, items, and more. Review the import preview, and if anything’s off, click Edit stops to reassign any column by hand (including addresses split across multiple columns). Import the same layout again later and EasyRoutes remembers your previous mapping. Available for CSV import in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Import orders from a spreadsheet

What is my on-time delivery rate and how is it measured?

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

Can I use Workflows with Xero invoices?

Yes. Once Xero invoices are imported into EasyRoutes (via CSV, Zapier, or API), you can use them with EasyRoutes Workflows. For example, you could build a Workflow that automatically creates delivery routes every morning from all paid invoices and dispatches them to drivers. This saves time and ensures consistency.

See: Workflows Overview

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

Can I schedule or email recurring analytics reports?

Analytics reports are viewed in the dashboard and exported on demand — open any breakdown and use Export to copy the data or download a CSV. There isn’t a built-in scheduler that emails recurring reports automatically. If you need that, you can export on a cadence yourself, or use the EasyRoutes API and webhooks (with a tool like Zapier) to pull delivery data into your own reporting. Applies to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Analytics

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.

Can routes be re-optimized after creation?

Yes. Both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web let you re‑optimize a route whenever plans change. Use this feature after you add or remove stops, change stop priorities, edit time windows or service times, or adjust limits like max route duration and stop limits. You can also balance stops across multiple routes first, then re‑optimize each route to tighten the sequence. If permitted in your Driver Settings, drivers may manually re‑order stops from the driver app or re‑optimize the remaining stops in their route to recalculate ETAs after mid‑route changes. For API‑driven workflows, use the Routes API to programmatically update routes and trigger re‑optimization.

See: How do I re‑optimize a route? · How do I allow drivers to re‑order stops?

What are the main benefits of using EasyRoutes with BigCommerce?

By integrating BigCommerce with EasyRoutes, you get a complete delivery management solution: multi-stop route optimization, real-time driver tracking, branded customer notifications, proof of delivery (photos, notes, signatures), and analytics. This turns BigCommerce from a storefront into a powerful logistics tool, helping you scale local delivery with confidence.

See: BigCommerce Overview

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
