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.

Each stop supports multiple PoD elements: up to four photos, an e‑signature with timestamp, and any driver notes. Use photos for placement/context and the signature for hand‑off confirmation. These items appear in admin views, can be shown on tracking pages (per your settings), and are included via links in route/stop exports for record‑keeping.
See: Proof of Delivery
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. 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.
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.

Absolutely. EasyRoutes supports mixed sources across both products (Shopify and Web). Bring in non‑Shopify orders by uploading a CSV, sending stops through the Routes API, connecting via webhooks/Zapier, or adding custom stops manually. Once imported, they appear alongside Shopify orders on the Orders page, can be filtered like any other stop, and can be optimized together on the same route.
See: Adding custom stops from outside Shopify · Routes API · Webhooks & Zapier
Setup is quick: install EasyRoutes (Shopify) or sign in (Web), connect drivers, select orders with filters, and click Create route. Use the defaults for service times and route options, then print or dispatch to the driver app. Most trial users reach a working route within an hour, often faster with our step‑by‑step guide.
If you import orders from outside Shopify, start with a small CSV or a few manual stops to validate the flow before scaling.
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. The EasyRoutes Delivery Driver mobile app supports complete proof of delivery: capture multiple photos, obtain a customer e‑signature, and add notes (e.g., where the parcel was left). PoD is stored with the stop and visible to admins; if you enable PoD on tracking pages, customers can view it as well. PoD uploads immediately when a driver has an active internet connection, and will sync when re-connected if captured while offline.
See: Proof of Delivery
Yes. Enable automatic dispatch so newly created routes with a scheduled start time are assigned and sent to the chosen driver immediately — no extra clicks. Use this for recurring daily runs or integrations that create routes programmatically. You can still edit or un-dispatch a route before start time if plans change.
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.
EasyRoutes focuses on structured stop data rather than storing arbitrary files at a stop. To share extra information (e.g., gate codes, loading dock instructions, external document links), use the stop notes fields. Notes appear on the route, in the driver app, and on printed manifests if enabled, keeping critical context with the stop.
See: Driver/Stop Notes
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
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.
See: Workflows Overview
Drivers should enable: (1) Location set to Always/Allow all the time with Precise on for accurate tracking and ETAs; (2) Camera/Photos to capture proof of delivery; (3) Notifications for new route alerts; and (4) on Android, allow Storage/Media so photos save correctly. Battery optimization should not restrict the app so background location continues during a route.
See: What app permissions does EasyRoutes Delivery Driver use?
Yes. Even though WooCommerce doesn’t have the same native integration as Shopify, once orders are imported into EasyRoutes they behave the same as any other order. This means customers can receive branded email or SMS notifications, along with live tracking links. This reduces “Where’s my order?” calls and improves the customer experience. See: EasyRoutes for WooCommerce
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
CSV exports are static, but Zapier or API integrations let you sync real-time updates. For example, if an invoice’s payment status or address changes in Xero, the update can flow directly into EasyRoutes, keeping your drivers informed with the most accurate data. See: Zapier Guide
EasyRoutes protects order and customer information with modern security practices. Traffic between your browser, the driver app, and our services is encrypted in transit; stored data is encrypted at rest. Access to accounts and APIs is token‑based and limited to the minimum required to operate features like routing, tracking, and notifications. Payments are handled by Shopify or other PCI‑compliant providers — EasyRoutes does not store card data.
We do not sell personal information. Limited sharing with subprocessors may occur solely to operate EasyRoutes as described in our Privacy Policy. Contact support if you have questions about data retention or deletion requests.
See: Privacy Policy
Drivers can install the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) using the official links provided in our Help Center. The app works with both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web accounts; once added as a driver, sign in using the phone number on file and the SMS code sent to that device. After dispatch, routes appear automatically in the app and can also be opened from the push notification's shared route link.
See: Where can I download the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app?
By default, CSV imports are static snapshots. To achieve real-time updates, you can set up Zapier workflows or use the EasyRoutes API. For example, if an order’s address changes in WooCommerce, Zapier or a custom API connection can automatically push that update into EasyRoutes, ensuring drivers always have the latest information. See: Zapier Guide
EasyRoutes calculates ETAs from drive times and your configured service time per stop, adjusting for start/end locations, stop priorities, and time windows. As drivers complete stops, ETAs refresh automatically based on actual timing. The best results come from accurate addresses, realistic service times, and consistent driver start times.
Customers see ETAs on tracking pages and (optionally) receive updates via email/SMS.
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.
Manual CSV imports work well for smaller batches, but to achieve automatic syncing, you can use Zapier or the EasyRoutes API. For example, create a Zap that triggers whenever a new BigCommerce order is placed and sends it directly to EasyRoutes. Or, for more advanced use cases, use the API to integrate real-time order creation and updates.
See: Zapier Integration
Yes. After importing Squarespace orders into EasyRoutes (via CSV, Zapier, or API), they can be used with Workflows. For example, you could set up a Workflow that automatically generates delivery routes at a set time each day from all Squarespace orders and dispatches them to drivers. This helps Squarespace merchants automate repetitive tasks and maintain smooth operations. See: EasyRoutes Workflows
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.
