No long‑term contract is required. You can start on a monthly plan, adjust driver seats as your team changes, and upgrade or downgrade tiers at any time. When you change plans mid‑cycle, EasyRoutes automatically prorates the charges so you only pay for what you use.
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.

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.
EasyRoutes doesn't have a purpose-built haul-away field, but drivers can document a removal reliably. Add a required Driver Task — a checkbox "Old item removed," a text field for the item description, or a number field for quantity — that must be completed at the stop, and have the driver photograph the removed item as proof of delivery.
Task results and photos are stored with the stop and included in exports for your records. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Driver Tasks · Proof of Delivery
Yes. The Activity Feed is designed to provide a verifiable sequence of events — who did what, and when — covering route creation, dispatch, status changes, driver assignments, and proof‑of‑delivery uploads. For external reviews or compliance checks, export related routes/stops to CSV to provide structured records and links to PoD. Together, these sources form a complete audit trail.
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.

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. 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
Yes. If you need to drive the same set of stops in the opposite direction (e.g., afternoon run), open the route, choose the actions menu (three dots), and click Reverse route. The stop list flips order and ETAs update based on your scheduled start time and stop service times. This tool is available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. You can still drag‑and‑drop to fine‑tune any exceptions or stops that require particular attention.
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.
Yes. EasyRoutes allows you to build Workflows in a safe, draft environment where you can preview how they would behave without actually triggering live actions. This lets you confirm that your conditions and actions are working as expected before rolling them out to your team.
For example, you might test a Workflow that creates a route every morning at 8 AM by running it with sample orders first, so you can see how the route would look. Once you’re confident it works, you can enable it in production and have it run automatically every day. This ability to test Workflows helps prevent mistakes like dispatching routes too early or sending customers duplicate notifications. It also makes it easier to experiment with new automations before committing to them.
See: Testing Workflows
To import BigCommerce orders, export them in CSV format from your BigCommerce dashboard. Then log into EasyRoutes, go to Orders → Import new CSV, and upload the file. EasyRoutes will map fields like customer name, address, and items. Once imported, your orders will appear as pins on the map, ready for route optimization.
Yes. In both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web you’ll see total estimated mileage (or kilometers) and drive time for each route as soon as it’s created. These figures adjust whenever you change options, or edit stop order, and re‑optimize — so planners and drivers work from current ETAs. Travel to/from start and end locations is included when configured, and per‑stop service time is factored into ETAs shown to customers.
EasyRoutes tracks distance and drive time for your routes, shown in metric or imperial units, and surfaces route metrics in Analytics. To gauge fuel and cost, set up Vehicle Profiles (which store each vehicle’s fuel economy) and assign them to routes, then break Analytics down by vehicle to compare efficiency. There isn’t a single built-in dollar “savings” figure, but comparing periods lets you see the trend. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

Yes. From any route, use the checkboxes to select one or more stops, then click the bulk actions bar and choose Send to another route. You can also open a Route Group and drag stops from one route to another within the group. After moving, click Save and (optionally) Re‑optimize to update the stop order and ETAs. This workflow works the same in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
Use this to balance workloads mid‑day, handle late additions, or consolidate leftovers onto a cleanup route.
Capping how many orders a customer can book into a given slot is handled by your date picker app at checkout (for example, Pickeasy's order limits), not by EasyRoutes. On the planning side, EasyRoutes helps you balance the resulting workload: filter orders by delivery date and time window, then split them across multiple routes or drivers, and the optimizer sequences each route to respect its windows. Together they keep slots controlled and routes balanced. This applies to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
Yes. Configure a start location (e.g., your store, a local warehouse, or a driver's home base) and an end location (e.g., a depot, final stop, or loop back to the route's start location) on each route. These points are included in optimization and time estimates, so drivers see realistic drive times and customers receive accurate ETAs. You can set defaults in Route Options, then override per route as needed. For multi‑warehouse operations, create routes that begin near each inventory location to reduce deadhead driving. In both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web, you can adjust these locations after route creation and re‑optimize to update the sequence and times.
See: Start/End Locations
Enable live tracking from EasyRoutes Settings → Driver settings in either EasyRoutes for Shopify or EasyRoutes for Web. Next, ensure each driver signs in to the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app (iOS/Android) and grants Always/Allow all the time location access with Precise location enabled. Once routes are started by a driver, location pins appear on the route’s Tracking tab. If privacy is a concern, you can restrict tracking for internal use only, or adjust the route expiry window for driver access.
Barcode scanning is available on EasyRoutes Premium and Enterprise plans. Scanner-input Driver Tasks and barcode-based proof-of-delivery requirements both live in those tiers, in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. If you’re on a lower plan and want to validate stops by scan, upgrading to Premium or above enables it.
See: Driver tasks · Barcode scanning
From any route or the Orders page, click the + Add button under the map and choose Custom stop, then fill in the stop details with a valid address — EasyRoutes auto-fills matches from your Address Book as you type. Tick “Save to address book” to reuse a frequent stop later, and re-optimize if you’d like it slotted into the best position. It’s the same flow whether you’re on EasyRoutes for Shopify or EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Add a custom stop · Address Book
The feed captures high‑signal delivery events so you can trace what happened and when: route creation, edits, and dispatches; assignments and self‑assign actions; stop status updates (Ready, Out for Delivery, Delivered, Attempted); proof‑of‑delivery photos/signatures/notes; and other key changes. Entries stream in real time for both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
By connecting WooCommerce to EasyRoutes, you unlock the full delivery management suite: optimized multi-stop routes, live driver tracking, branded notifications, proof of delivery (photos, notes, signatures), and analytics dashboards. This transforms WooCommerce from a simple order-taking tool into a complete last-mile delivery platform. Whether you’re handling 10 deliveries a week or 1,000, EasyRoutes scales with your business and improves customer satisfaction.
Yes. Enable the Rescheduled template in Customer notifications and customize its message and variables (new date, time window, tracking link). When you reschedule a stop to a new day or route, you can send the updated notification so the customer isn't left guessing — and a Missed Delivery notice can go out automatically when a stop is marked Attempted.
Notifications work over email and SMS for both Shopify orders and imported or manual stops, across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
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.

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.
