Does EasyRoutes keep a history of my past routes?

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.

See: How do I see old orders or routes?

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 accurate are ETAs?

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.

See: Route Scheduling & ETAs

What can I do with the API?

The EasyRoutes API lets you automate your delivery workflow end‑to‑end: import orders/stops from external systems, create routes with your preferred options, assign drivers or vehicles, dispatch routes, and update stop or route status as deliveries progress. You can also read back route/stops for reporting and pair the API with webhooks to keep other systems synchronized in real time. Capabilities are consistent across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: EasyRoutes Routes API · Webhooks & Zapier

Can I combine Squarespace orders with orders from other platforms?

Yes. EasyRoutes allows you to centralize multi-platform order management. You can import Squarespace orders via CSV or Zapier while also syncing Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or Wix orders into the same account. This lets you plan optimized delivery routes that combine orders from different sales channels.

See: Squarespace Integration

What real-time tracking data can I see as an admin?

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

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 drivers confirm who received the delivery?

Yes. When you collect an e-signature, the driver can record who signed — the "Signed for" name is stored with the stop and appears in exports. For an explicit record, add a Driver Task text field for the recipient's name, and the driver can add a note or photo as well.

All of it is saved to the stop's proof-of-delivery timeline and can be shown on the customer's tracking page. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Proof of Delivery · Driver Tasks

What are EasyRoutes Workflows?

Workflows in EasyRoutes are powerful automation tools that let you design and run delivery management processes without needing to handle every step manually. Think of them as “if-this-then-that” rules that connect your orders, routes, and driver dispatching into a seamless flow. Instead of relying on a dispatcher to constantly create routes, select orders, or assign drivers, Workflows can do these repetitive tasks for you automatically.

For example, you could create a Workflow that listens for new Shopify orders tagged as “Local Delivery” and automatically builds a route every morning at 9 AM, adds matching orders to the route, optimizes route stops, and assigns it to a specific driver. By reducing manual intervention, Workflows make your operations more consistent, scalable, and error-proof.

See: Workflows Overview

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 Zapier log delivery events into spreadsheets automatically?

Zapier allows you to capture delivery events from EasyRoutes and log them automatically into a Google Sheet, Excel file, or database. For example, every time a driver completes a stop, Zapier can write details like stop ID, timestamp, and delivery outcome into a row. This creates a live delivery log that’s perfect for reporting, auditing, or customer service.

See: Zapier Spreadsheet Logging

Can I archive or delete zones I no longer use?

Yes. In Settings > Delivery Zones, tick the zones you no longer need and click Archive to remove them from your active list. Archived zones aren’t gone for good — use the Add filter control below the map to show Archived or All, then select and Unarchive any you want back. This keeps your active zone list tidy without losing past boundaries. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Delivery Zones

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 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?

What happens to orders that fall outside my delivery zones?

When you plan a route with the Delivery zones option enabled, only orders that fall inside the selected zone’s boundary are added. Any orders outside the boundary are held back for review rather than dropped, so nothing gets lost — you can route them separately, assign them to another zone, or handle them manually. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Delivery Zones

Can drivers mark a stop as attempted/failed and record a reason?

Yes. When a stop can’t be completed, drivers mark it Attempted instead of Delivered from the Update Status section on the stop. They can choose a preset reason (for example, no answer, inaccessible, or Canceled) and add a note or proof of delivery to document what happened. The reason then appears on the stop’s details and feeds into your delivery analytics. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Using the Delivery Driver app

Can I export analytics data?

Yes. From the Analytics page, pick your time period (e.g., last 7/30 days or a custom range) and optionally filter by driver. Use the Export option to download a CSV for spreadsheets or external tools, or use Print to generate a PDF summary. CSV exports preserve the filters you applied so downstream reports match what you saw in EasyRoutes.

Exports are available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. If you need more granular, stop‑level records, combine Analytics with route exports from the Routes page.

See: Printing & Exporting Analytics

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.

What are the main benefits of using EasyRoutes with Wix?

Connecting Wix to EasyRoutes unlocks the complete last-mile toolkit: multi-stop route optimization, live driver tracking, proof of delivery (photos, signatures, notes), branded notifications, and delivery analytics. Together, these tools help Wix merchants scale delivery operations, save dispatcher time, and provide customers with a professional, reliable delivery experience.

See: EasyRoutes for Wix

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.

See: Route Options · EasyRoutes 101: Route Optimization & Route Options

What triggers does EasyRoutes provide in Zapier?

EasyRoutes offers webhook-based triggers in Zapier, such as “Route Updated” and “Stop Status Updated.” These let you automatically take action in other apps when a route changes or a driver marks a stop as delivered. For example, you can update a customer record in your CRM or notify your warehouse team when a stop is completed.

See: Zapier Setup Guide

Can EasyRoutes sync Xero orders automatically?

CSV imports are manual, but Zapier and the EasyRoutes API let you automate the process. With Zapier, new Xero invoices can be sent directly to EasyRoutes as soon as they’re created. With the API, developers can build real-time integrations that sync orders and updates automatically, keeping your delivery pipeline fully up to date.

See: Zapier Integration Guide

Can I balance stops evenly across multiple routes?

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?

What support options are available?

We offer a self‑serve Help Center with step‑by‑step guides and videos, plus email support from our team during business hours (ET). Most questions are resolved the same business day. Accounts on the Enterprise plan receive prioritized responses and onboarding help. For incident updates, check our public status page; for billing and plan questions, see the pricing page.

See: Help Center · EasyRoutes Pricing

Can Zapier integrate EasyRoutes with my CRM or ERP?

Zapier’s app directory includes thousands of CRMs, ERPs, and productivity tools. With EasyRoutes as the trigger, you can automatically update customer records in HubSpot when a delivery is completed, or sync invoice statuses in NetSuite when routes are dispatched. This ensures delivery data flows into the rest of your business systems seamlessly.

See: Zapier App Directory

Can I export my routes for reporting or analysis?

Yes. From the Routes page or an individual route view, export to CSV for all relevant route data points. Exports include stop details, timestamps, driver assignments, and URLs to related proof of delivery (photos/signature/notes). Use these files for accounting, customer service follow‑up, or analysis in spreadsheets or external tools. Exports are supported in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: How do I export routes/stops?
