EasyRoutes doesn't automate ID verification — there's no ID-document scan or built-in age lookup. Instead, use a required Driver Task to make the check part of completing the stop: a checkbox to confirm "photo ID checked, recipient of legal age," or a text field to log the ID type. Pair it with a required e-signature and photo for a complete record.
The barcode scanner captures product and package codes, not identity documents. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

Yes. Both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web support webhooks that notify your apps when key delivery events occur—such as routes created/dispatched/updated and stops started/completed/attempted. Use them to sync delivery status into ERPs/CRMs, trigger customer communications, or update internal dashboards in real time. You can consume webhooks directly at your API endpoint or use Zapier to route events into thousands of tools (Sheets, Slack, email, etc.). Webhooks require a Premium (or higher) plan.
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.
Yes. If you use Shopify’s native notifications, you can insert proof image URLs into the Delivered or Missed Delivery templates so customers see photo links in those emails. This is optional — EasyRoutes notifications can also include tracking links that show PoD on the hosted tracking page. Choose the path that best matches your communication setup.
See: Integrating PoD with Shopify Emails · Delivery Notifications
Yes. From EasyRoutes Settings → Driver settings, define what drivers can access on mobile. Options include letting drivers manually re‑order stops, re‑optimize the remaining sequence mid‑route, and whether to show sensitive customer data (e.g., email, phone, notes). These controls apply to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web so you can tailor the experience to your policies.
See: Configure what is shown to the driver · Driver‑side re‑optimize
Yes. For contactless or leave-at-door drops, a driver can complete a stop without a signature by photographing where the order was left, capturing the GPS delivery location, and adding a note. Up to four photos, an automatic timestamp, and the location are stored with the stop as proof.
You can require specific proof — for example a photo — before a stop can be marked delivered, and show it on the customer's tracking page. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Proof of Delivery
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.
No coding is required if you use Zapier, which allows you to set up automations like sending new Wix orders into EasyRoutes with just a few clicks. For businesses needing deeper control, the EasyRoutes API allows developers to build integrations for syncing fulfillments, handling custom workflows, or connecting to other back-office systems. See: EasyRoutes API Guide
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. Open a route and click Print to generate driver‑friendly documents in stop order: a compact route summary, packing slips, or packing labels. You can adjust content and sizing in Settings → Packing Slips & Labels, then print or choose Save as PDF for tablet use or record‑keeping. This workflow is identical in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
For multi‑package orders, print one label per item; for quick loading, include the Route Inventory/Packing List so teams can stage by stop.
EasyRoutes-native barcodes are QR codes generated by EasyRoutes and printed on your packing slips and labels; each is tied to a specific stop, so a scan can be validated as a match. Existing product or order barcodes (like a supplier’s UPC) aren’t tied to a stop that way — drivers can still scan and record them as proof, but match validation is strongest with EasyRoutes-native codes. Both work in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Barcode scanning
Yes. Real‑time tracking is configurable. You can enable tracking for dispatcher visibility while keeping customer pages static, or allow a live pin to appear only as the driver approaches (configurable from 1 to 10 stops away). This setting is available on Premium/Enterprise plans across both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
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
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. The EasyRoutes Routes API accepts imported stops (customer details, address, items, notes) so you can bring orders from non‑Shopify sources into EasyRoutes. After importing, you can create new routes, add the stops to existing routes, assign drivers, and dispatch. This works for both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web and complements CSV import when you need automation.
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. Open any template in the Notifications editor and use Preview with Example Data to see how your message will render, including variables. You can also send a real‑world test by creating a draft order or manual stop with your own contact details, and triggering notifications on a sample route. Preview/testing tools are available for both email and SMS on Shopify and Web.
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
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.
Yes. Start with these checks:
See: Real-Time Driver Location Tracking · Troubleshooting mobile issues
Yes. Drivers can view delivery instructions and customer notes alongside each stop, including details pulled from Shopify orders. Admins can control visibility from EasyRoutes Settings → Routes (Route display options) and EasyRoutes Settings → Driver settings (Driver app settings). Show only what drivers need in the field while keeping sensitive data minimal.
See: How do I see delivery & customer notes? · Configure what drivers see
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.
See: Vehicle Profiles · Max items/weight per route · Commercial vehicles & GPX Export
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. Click into a route to make changes: add orders or custom stops, update addresses and service times, change the assigned driver (or vehicle), or edit start/end locations and the scheduled start. Drag‑and‑drop the list to manually adjust the stop sequence, or select multiple stops to bulk‑move them to another route. The editing toolbox is the same in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: How to Edit Routes
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. Every route has a driver‑friendly manifest in the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver mobile app, and a printable version from the web. Use any route’s Print menu to generate a compact summary, packing slips/labels, and an optional inventory list. Print for clipboards or Save as PDF for digital sharing. Works the same in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
