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.
Dispatchers manage routes from the browser interface. On Shopify, open the Shopify mobile app and launch EasyRoutes to view routes, assign drivers, and monitor progress from supported mobile devices. For EasyRoutes for Web, sign in from your phone’s browser for a responsive experience. Drivers should use the dedicated EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app for turn‑by‑turn and proof of delivery.
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
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
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.
There isn’t a dedicated “lock” toggle to pin one stop to a fixed position. Instead, you control sequence by arranging stops manually with drag-and-drop, and that order stays until you choose to re-optimize (which recalculates the sequence). To keep a stop first or last, set it as your start or end location; to influence inclusion order, use Priority stops. Applies to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Editing routes · Priority stops
Yes. EasyRoutes allows you to centralize deliveries across multiple platforms. You can import invoices from Xero alongside Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or Squarespace orders, then optimize routes across all of them in one place. See: EasyRoutes for Xero
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.
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
Yes. EasyRoutes prints all slips for the selected route in one batch. From the route page, choose Print → enable Packing slips → print or save as PDF. Slips are ordered to match the route so packing and loading follow the driver’s sequence.
This bulk flow is available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. If you maintain custom slip templates in Shopify, you can also push orders to Order Printer Pro and print them in route order from there.
Real-time GPS tracking is included with EasyRoutes Premium and Enterprise plans across both product lines (Shopify and Web). When enabled, you can follow driver position in real time, view a breadcrumb trail of recent movement, and see live stop status/ETAs on the route. Turn it on from EasyRoutes Settings → Driver settings, and ensure drivers grant background/precise location permissions in the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app (iOS/Android).
See: Real-Time Driver Location Tracking · Pricing & Plans FAQ
EasyRoutes combines route planning, driver dispatch, live tracking, and proof of delivery in one system. Teams select orders (from Shopify or external sources), create optimized routes with start/end locations and options (time windows, service times), then dispatch to the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app.
Admins monitor routes in the browser, view ETAs and driver location (Premium/Enterprise), and share branded tracking pages and notifications with customers. Proof of delivery items — photos, eSignature, notes — are captured in the field and visible on the stop record. EasyRoutes is designed for SMBs and delivery fleets of any size across industries.
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?
Zapier is designed to be used without coding. To integrate EasyRoutes, you typically select “Webhooks by Zapier” as a trigger, paste a webhook URL into EasyRoutes, and then connect it to actions like sending an email or updating a spreadsheet. All steps are handled through a simple, click-based interface. This makes automation accessible to any team member, not just developers. See: EasyRoutes Zapier
Yes. Manual and imported stops can send the same email/SMS notifications as Shopify orders once configured. In EasyRoutes Settings → Customer notifications, enable templates under the Imported Orders sections and ensure each stop includes an email address and or phone number. Use tracking links to provide status and proof of delivery even when the source isn’t Shopify.
From your Xero dashboard, go to the Business tab → Invoices, then use the Export button to download a CSV of the invoices you want to deliver. In EasyRoutes, click “Import new CSV” and upload the file. The system maps fields such as contact name, address, invoice number, and product details to create delivery-ready routes. See: Xero Import Guide
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.
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
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.
EasyRoutes Workflows support a wide variety of actions that cover the full delivery process, from order intake to customer communication. You can automatically generate new routes based on incoming orders, apply filters (such as only including orders tagged with “Priority” or due on a specific date), and dispatch routes directly to the correct driver. This level of automation means you can build a Workflow that matches your exact delivery process, no matter how simple or complex.
See: Workflow Actions
Yes. In both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web you can enforce a start action. When a driver taps Start Delivery in the mobile app, EasyRoutes records the route start time and begins live location updates. This prevents drivers from completing stops out of context and ensures analytics include drive time from the route's start location. If a route must be paused, drivers can resume later to continue tracking.
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. EasyRoutes lets you add pickups — including returns and reusable-packaging collections — as stops on a delivery route, so drivers retrieve containers on the same run. Add them as custom/manual stops or via CSV/API, set the pickup location, and use stop notes to tell drivers what to collect. Collections appear in sequence with deliveries, on printed manifests, and in the driver app. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Pickup orders · Adding custom stops · Driver Tasks
Yes. EasyRoutes features customizable Vehicle Profiles for different vehicle types, as well as route capacities (e.g., item or weight limits) that can be assigned to a route so our route optimizer respects those limits. Route‑level capacity controls — such as Max items per route and Max weight per route — to prevent overloading a vehicle. Pair capacity settings with other constraints (including custom start/end locations, stop time intervals, and delivery time windows) and re‑optimize to reflect changes. For commercial navigation needs, export routes to GPX and load them onto Garmin devices that support truck‑aware routing.

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.
