Subscriptions are processed through Shopify Billing (for EasyRoutes for Shopify) or Stripe (for EasyRoutes for Web). After your 14-day trial, app charges run on a 30-day subscription cycle that is independent from Shopify’s invoice cycle. When you add or remove driver seats during a cycle, we prorate charges/credits automatically. SMS delivery notifications are usage-based and draw from a separate balance when enabled.

By default, CSV imports are static snapshots. For real-time updates, use Zapier to push new BigCommerce orders into EasyRoutes automatically, or build a direct integration with the API. This ensures address changes, order edits, or cancellations in BigCommerce are reflected in your delivery routes without manual intervention.
See: Zapier Integration
Yes. One of EasyRoutes’ strengths is its ability to centralize delivery management. You can import WooCommerce orders via CSV or Zapier while also syncing Shopify, BigCommerce, or other platform orders into the same account. EasyRoutes will display all of them together so you can generate optimized routes across multiple sales channels.

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.
EasyRoutes turns your driver’s phone camera into a scanner — no extra hardware needed. Drivers scan a barcode or QR code from the Proof of Delivery section, or from a Scanner-input Driver Task, before completing a stop. Matching codes are confirmed in green; non-matching codes appear in yellow and can be flagged back to the route planner. Every scan is stored with the stop’s proof of delivery for live or later review. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
Put the handling steps where the driver will see them: add cooler or cold-chain instructions as a stop note or a saved customer note, which appear on the stop in the driver app. For steps you want confirmed, add a Driver Task — for example a required checkbox "Order kept in cooler until hand-off" or a note field — that the driver must complete before marking the stop delivered.
Saved task sets and Address Book stops let you reuse the same instructions across recurring routes. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Driver Tasks · Driver & Stop Notes
Yes. EasyRoutes keeps historical routes and stops across the lifetime of your subscription, so you can review prior deliveries, proof of delivery, and timing. Use the Routes page filters to view completed or archived runs by date. For reporting or audits, export route/stop CSVs that include timestamps and links to PoD. Applies to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
Yes. Set a scheduled start date and time when creating or editing a route. EasyRoutes will use that schedule — plus stop time intervals and any delivery time windows — to calculate ETAs for every stop. Customers can receive their individual ETAs via branded tracking pages and optional email/SMS notifications. If plans change, simply edit the route's schedule, re‑optimize the route, and ETAs will update automatically.
The cutoff, lead-time, and blackout-date rules you configure live inside your date picker app and control what customers can select at checkout — EasyRoutes doesn't import those rules. What it does read is the resulting delivery date and time window the app writes onto each order, which it then uses for filtering and routing. So the customer-facing scheduling limits stay with your picker, while EasyRoutes plans around the dates and windows they produce. This applies to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

EasyRoutes doesn't currently offer a customer-facing "pick a new date" self-service tool. In practice, customers reply to your delivery notifications or use the contact details on their branded tracking page to reach you; you then move the order with Send to another route and send the Rescheduled notification with the new details.
Delivery Ratings and tracking pages keep the customer in the loop throughout. This flow is the same in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
Yes. In EasyRoutes for Shopify you decide whether to send messages using EasyRoutes’ customizable templates, or Shopify’s native notification flows. EasyRoutes writes tracking details to the Shopify fulfillment so the order status page and Shopify notifications include the correct link. If you enable both systems, review your templates to prevent duplicate emails/SMS.
Configuration lives in EasyRoutes notification settings; Shopify templates are managed in your Shopify admin.
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. 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.
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.
Yes. You can constrain every route so product isn't in transit too long. Set Max route duration to cap total hours, use Max stops per route or Max items per route to limit load size, and optimization will automatically create additional routes rather than overrun your limit. Add time windows for the most sensitive stops so they're served first. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
Yes. Both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web can display proof of delivery (PoD) on the customer’s tracking page right after a stop is marked Delivered or Attempted. PoD can include delivery photos, e‑signature confirmation, and optional driver notes. Turn this on from EasyRoutes Settings → Order tracking, and use notifications (email/SMS) to send tracking links automatically. For internal auditing, PoD is also visible on the route and stop records for your team.
Yes. Alongside EasyRoutes-native barcodes, drivers can scan existing product or order barcodes and QR codes — including supplier UPC, EAN, Code 128, and 2D formats like QR and Data Matrix — using the phone camera. Externally generated codes are captured and stored with the stop for reference, though match validation (the green/yellow confirmation) applies to EasyRoutes-native codes. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
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.

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.
You can focus the Activity Feed by scope: the Dashboard feed shows every route and stop event across your account, while opening a specific route’s (or Route Group’s) feed narrows it to just that route or group. Entries are listed chronologically, and each can be expanded for details or clicked to jump straight to the related route or stop. Activity data can also be exported for record-keeping. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

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.
Yes. You can integrate EasyRoutes with ERPs, CRMs, WMS, and custom apps using our API and webhooks. Typical use cases include importing stops from non‑Shopify channels, syncing delivery status and proof‑of‑delivery back to your system of record, and powering external analytics collection. The same platform supports both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
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.
You don’t need to code to connect BigCommerce with EasyRoutes. Zapier provides an easy no-code path to automate order syncing. For teams that need more complex, real-time integrations, the EasyRoutes API allows developers to customize imports, fulfillments, and route triggers. This gives you flexibility to choose between no-code and developer-driven solutions.
See: API Getting Started
Yes. In EasyRoutes Settings → Customer notifications, enable the Rescheduled template and customize the message and variables (date, window, tracking link, etc.). Trigger it when routes or stops move to a new day/time so recipients are informed proactively. This works for both Shopify orders and imported/manual stops across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
Every minute of Time per stop is added to the running clock as the driver works down the route, so each stop's ETA reflects both travel time and the time spent delivering the stops before it. More realistic ETAs mean fewer missed windows and better customer notifications.
Service time also counts toward Max route duration: if adding stops would push a route past your cap, optimization splits the work into additional routes instead of overrunning. Applies to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
