Invite drivers from the Drivers & Vehicles tab, then assign a driver seat to activate them. Deactivate drivers anytime to free a seat without deleting their profile or history. You can switch which people occupy seats as staffing changes — ideal for seasonal or on-call drivers. These controls are available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
Yes. EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web work in many countries around the world. Address geocoding, map tiles, and driving directions are available globally, and core features — route optimization, driver app, tracking links, and proof of delivery — operate the same. In certain regions, map data or SMS availability may differ based on local providers.
Before rollout, confirm your country is supported and run a quick pilot to validate address formats (postal codes, provinces) and notification deliverability.
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.
EasyRoutes for Web is best suited for merchants and service providers who do not have an existing Shopify presence. Users may currently be using spreadsheets and manual processes to track orders/stops and plan delivery routes, or may be using an alternate eCommerce platform where orders/stops can be exported into a spreadsheet. We also offer an API.
Spreadsheets containing order data can quickly be imported into EasyRoutes for Web to plan and dispatch optimized delivery routes in a fraction of the time compared to manual planning methods.

By connecting Squarespace to EasyRoutes, you get access to a full delivery management toolkit: optimized multi-stop routes, real-time driver tracking, branded notifications, proof of delivery (photos, notes, signatures), and delivery analytics. This transforms Squarespace from just an eCommerce storefront into a complete last-mile logistics solution. See: Squarespace Overview
Yes. EasyRoutes continues to receive driver location while the app runs in the background, as long as device permissions allow background/precise access and battery optimization doesn’t suspend the app. If the user force‑quits the app, turns off location, or the OS stops background services to save power, live updates may pause. Reopening the driver app resumes tracking and ETAs will refresh accordingly.

Zapier includes ready-to-use templates to help you get started quickly. Examples include sending Gmail alerts when a stop is delivered, creating rows in Google Sheets when a route updates, or updating project management tools like Trello with delivery status. These templates save setup time and let you deploy automations in just a few clicks. See: EasyRoutes Zapier Templates
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.
Drivers can capture multiple photos, obtain a customer e‑signature, and add notes at the stop. These items are stored with timestamps and the completion context, and they’re visible to admins on the route and stop record. When enabled in EasyRoutes Settings, customers can see PoD on tracking pages and in notifications.
See: Proof of Delivery
Yes. If you don’t use Shopify, EasyRoutes for Web provides the same core workflow — order intake, route planning, dispatch, tracking, proof of delivery, and analytics. Bring orders in via CSV uploads, the Routes API, or webhooks/Zapier. You can also mix non‑Shopify orders with Shopify orders if you operate via multiple e-commerce channels.
Customer tracking pages and notifications work the same, and drivers use the same EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app.
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.
Once your BigCommerce orders are in EasyRoutes—whether through CSV, Zapier, or API—they can be used with Workflows to automate repetitive tasks. For example, you could build a Workflow that automatically creates and dispatches routes every morning for all BigCommerce orders tagged “Delivery.” This allows your BigCommerce operation to benefit from the same automation available to Shopify users. See: Workflows Overview
No technical background is needed if you use Zapier to connect Xero with EasyRoutes. Zapier provides a no-code way to set up automations like sending invoices into EasyRoutes for route creation. For advanced teams, the EasyRoutes API allows for custom integrations, syncing invoice updates, or linking to ERP/CRM systems. See: API Getting Started
Yes. EasyRoutes treats wholesale orders like any other Shopify orders for routing, dispatch, tracking, and proof of delivery. Ensure each record includes a valid shipping address; if not, correct it on the Shopify order (recommended) or add the address details to the stop in EasyRoutes. You can filter B2B orders by tags or other attributes when building a batch.
See: Working with items & fulfillments · Add a missing shipping address
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.
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.
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.
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.

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
Yes. The Analytics dashboard summarizes delivered vs. missed (attempted) stops so you can monitor delivery success across time or by driver. Use this report to identify recurring issues (e.g., address problems or access constraints) and to validate improvements after workflow changes.
For context on individual failures, open the underlying routes or stops to review notes and proof‑of‑delivery entries. You can also export the analytics view as CSV for further analysis or sharing with stakeholders.
See: Analytics Reports
Yes. Mark COD orders and include collection instructions in stop notes. Drivers can record payment received using notes and attach custom notes containing any COD amounts collected. Back at the office, export routes/stops to reconcile COD activity. This workflow is supported across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Cash on Delivery
Yes. When you create multiple routes together, EasyRoutes groups them so you can monitor all active drivers in a single view. The Route Group page shows color‑coded pins, per‑route progress, and live stop updates. Use this view to coordinate dispatch, answer customer inquiries, and rebalance work if needed by moving stops between routes.

Yes. Time windows are supported in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. Add a window directly to a stop, or pull windows from checkout tools/date pickers (e.g., Zapiet, Buunto, and other supported third‑party apps). This way, our route optimizer sequences stops to respect open/close times while considering start/end locations, stop times, and other limits. If windows create conflicts that exceed constraints (e.g., max duration), split stops into additional routes or relax limits, then re‑optimize. ETAs displayed to drivers and customers reflect these windows so deliveries align with customer preferences as closely as possible.
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.

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.
