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.
See: My order does not have a shipping address—how do I add one?
Yes. When you create several routes together, EasyRoutes places them in a Route Group so you can manage a delivery day (or multiple zones) as a single unit. From the group page you can dispatch all routes, view colour‑coded live driver pins, move stops between routes, and balance workloads. Route Groups work the same in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web and are ideal for medium/large fleets or recurring delivery days.
See: Route Groups
Yes. Use the Delivery Zones tool to outline one or more areas on the map, then filter/select orders within those zones to build your route quickly. Zones help planners batch by neighbourhood or service area and pair well with other filters like tags or dates. Once configured, zones are stored permanently to standardize your daily workflow when planning for the same areas.
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. 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. EasyRoutes supports WooCommerce order data in multiple ways. You can export orders from WooCommerce and import them into EasyRoutes via CSV, or you can set up automated workflows using Zapier or our API. This flexibility allows you to start with simple drag-and-drop imports and scale up to real-time order syncing as your delivery needs grow.
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.
See: WooCommerce Overview
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
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. From any route, choose Assign driver (or select from the header), then click Dispatch. The driver gets a push notification and can start the route from their phone. For busy days, dispatch multiple routes from a Route Group to release them all at once.
Yes. Use EasyRoutes webhooks as Zap triggers to connect delivery events to apps like Google Sheets, Slack, Gmail, Twilio, HubSpot, and more. Common automations include updating a shared delivery log, notifying customer service when an attempt fails, or sending a custom message when proof of delivery posts. Zapier is supported for both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
Yes. From the Analytics page, pick your time period (e.g., last 7/30 days or a custom range) and optionally filter by driver. Use the Export option to download a CSV for spreadsheets or external tools, or use Print to generate a PDF summary. CSV exports preserve the filters you applied so downstream reports match what you saw in EasyRoutes.
Exports are available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. If you need more granular, stop‑level records, combine Analytics with route exports from the Routes page.
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
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 allows you to centralize multi-platform order management. You can import Squarespace orders via CSV or Zapier while also syncing Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or Wix orders into the same account. This lets you plan optimized delivery routes that combine orders from different sales channels.
Yes. In Settings > Delivery Zones, click the dropdown arrow on the Create zone button and choose Import KML, then drag in your .KML file. Zone names from the file apply automatically, and you can rename them or set a route colour before saving. Boundaries drawn in tools like Google Earth work well; KMZ or GeoJSON files should be converted to .KML first. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Delivery Zones
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.
API access uses tokens you create in your EasyRoutes account. Follow the Getting Started guide to generate a token, store it securely, and add it to requests from your server or integration platform. Tokens work the same way for both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. Rotate credentials periodically and avoid embedding them in client‑side code.
Yes. There's no separate "white-glove" mode, but the pieces are built in. Use Driver Tasks to give drivers an in-home checklist (unpack, assemble, position, remove packaging) and require it before the stop is marked complete, and allow extra Time per stop or a longer per-stop service time so the schedule reflects the added work.
Drivers capture photos of the finished setup and a signature as proof. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Driver Tasks · Route Options
EasyRoutes tracks distance and drive time for your routes, shown in metric or imperial units, and surfaces route metrics in Analytics. To gauge fuel and cost, set up Vehicle Profiles (which store each vehicle’s fuel economy) and assign them to routes, then break Analytics down by vehicle to compare efficiency. There isn’t a single built-in dollar “savings” figure, but comparing periods lets you see the trend. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
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.
When exporting from BigCommerce, configure your CSV template to create one row per sub-item (so multiple items in an order export properly). Map fields like First Name, Last Name, Address, and Product Qty to the corresponding EasyRoutes columns. This ensures accurate imports and prevents issues with incomplete customer or item data.
See: Importing CSV Orders
Yes. If you need to drive the same set of stops in the opposite direction (e.g., afternoon run), open the route, choose the actions menu (three dots), and click Reverse route. The stop list flips order and ETAs update based on your scheduled start time and stop service times. This tool is available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. You can still drag‑and‑drop to fine‑tune any exceptions or stops that require particular attention.
EasyRoutes is built for dynamic operations. When an order changes or a new request arrives, open the active route, add or remove stops, and click Re‑optimize to calculate the best new sequence for the remaining stops. ETAs and the driver’s stop list update immediately in the mobile app. If needed, move stops between routes to balance workloads, then re‑optimize each route.
Customer tracking pages and notifications reflect the new schedule so recipients stay informed.
See: Adding orders or stops to routes · Re‑optimizing routes
Yes. Enable SMS in EasyRoutes Settings → Customer notifications and include the tracking URL in templates such as Ready for Delivery, Out for Delivery, Driver is X Stops Away, Delivered, and Missed Delivery. SMS is supported in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web on Premium/Enterprise plans, and is billed per message segment by country. Use the preview tool to verify variables before sending.
