EasyRoutes automatically reads the delivery date and time window that a date picker writes onto each Shopify order — most often as order attributes (note attributes), and also from order tags. It recognizes common attribute names such as "Delivery Date," "Delivery Time," and "Order Due Time" used by popular apps, then surfaces them in the Delivery Date and Time Window columns for filtering and routing. Metafields aren't read directly; use Shopify Flow to copy them into an order attribute. This works the same whether data comes from Zapiet, Buunto, or another supported app.

Yes for signature: in Driver settings you can require an e-signature (and/or photo) before a stop can be marked delivered, and customize the signature disclosure text shown to the recipient. For the ID portion, add a required Driver Task — a checkbox or text field confirming the ID check — so the driver can't complete a restricted stop without it.
Together these enforce a consistent, documented hand-off, though the age/ID check itself is performed by the driver rather than verified automatically. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

SMS delivery notifications use usage-based pricing by recipient country and message length. Costs are per segment (e.g., a U.S. segment is $0.043 USD). Longer messages or those with emojis/Unicode may use multiple segments. You fund a prepaid SMS balance and can enable auto-top-ups so notifications continue without interruption.
By integrating BigCommerce with EasyRoutes, you get a complete delivery management solution: multi-stop route optimization, real-time driver tracking, branded customer notifications, proof of delivery (photos, notes, signatures), and analytics. This turns BigCommerce from a storefront into a powerful logistics tool, helping you scale local delivery with confidence.

Zapier integration is available whether you’re using EasyRoutes for Shopify or EasyRoutes for Web. Shopify users can extend native integrations with Zapier for additional automations, while non-Shopify users can rely on Zapier to connect EasyRoutes with their eCommerce, ERP, or POS platforms. This makes Zapier a universal automation layer for all EasyRoutes users.

Time windows are interpreted in the time zone of each stop's delivery address, so a window set by your date picker is honored locally even when a route crosses time zone boundaries (for example, travelling from Chicago toward Indianapolis). Your Orders page and route columns display windows in your own local time, and stops in a different zone are annotated as such. This behavior is the same in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Time Windows
Yes. EasyRoutes supports multi‑location operations. You can set unique start/end locations on routes (store, warehouse, driver home base), segment orders by delivery zone or location tags, and dispatch drivers from different hubs on the same day. Route Groups make it easy to manage several routes per location and monitor all drivers together.
This applies across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
Yes. As assigned routes are dispatched from EasyRoutes, drivers get a push notification that opens the route in the app. If a driver doesn’t see alerts, confirm notification permission is enabled and the driver is added to your store with the correct phone number. Drivers can also pull‑to‑refresh their route list in the app to fetch new routes available to them.
See: How do I dispatch/share routes? · Troubleshooting push notification permissions
Yes. In addition to taking photos in‑app, drivers can attach images from the phone’s gallery when you allow this option. It’s especially useful when a photo was captured by the camera app while offline; the driver adds it later, and EasyRoutes syncs the proof and timestamps once connectivity returns.
Yes. EasyRoutes is built for fast‑moving operations. Select orders, click Create route, and dispatch in a few steps. When new requests arrive, add them to an active route, re‑optimize the remaining sequence, and the driver’s app updates immediately. Customers can receive status notifications and view tracking links with dynamic ETAs. Use Route Groups to coordinate multiple drivers for peak periods.
Yes. EasyRoutes integrates with Wix through multiple methods: you can export orders from Wix to a CSV and import them into EasyRoutes, or use Zapier and our API for automated, real-time workflows. This flexibility means businesses can start quickly with spreadsheet imports and later upgrade to automated integrations as they scale.
See: EasyRoutes for Wix
No — routes are single‑driver to keep tracking, ETAs, and proof‑of‑delivery accurate. If two or more drivers are needed, split the stops into multiple routes (or create a new route for leftovers) and dispatch each separately. You can also publish a route without assigning a driver, and share a self‑assign link so someone from your pool can claim it when ready.
Yes. From EasyRoutes Settings → Driver settings, enable the options to let drivers reorder stops and re‑optimize the remaining sequence when plans change (traffic, customer requests). Re‑optimization recalculates the fastest order for what’s left, while respecting your route constraints (time windows, priorities). Admins can still edit routes from the web at any time.
See: How do I re‑optimize remaining stops? · Re‑ordering stops
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.
See: How do I re‑optimize a route? · How do I allow drivers to re‑order stops?
Yes. When you collect an e-signature, the driver can record who signed — the "Signed for" name is stored with the stop and appears in exports. For an explicit record, add a Driver Task text field for the recipient's name, and the driver can add a note or photo as well.
All of it is saved to the stop's proof-of-delivery timeline and can be shown on the customer's tracking page. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Proof of Delivery · Driver Tasks
Yes. When optimizing, set per‑route limits (max items/weight) so loads fit the assigned vehicle. You can also create Vehicle Profiles for an additional indicator for routes that have specific restrictions by vehicle, and enable route constraints (e.g., avoid tolls or U‑turns), and reuse them across routes. These settings help prevent overloads and keep route planning aligned with your real fleet.
See: Creating routes by vehicle capacity · Vehicle Profiles · Max items per route
Yes. In both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web you’ll see total estimated mileage (or kilometers) and drive time for each route as soon as it’s created. These figures adjust whenever you change options, or edit stop order, and re‑optimize — so planners and drivers work from current ETAs. Travel to/from start and end locations is included when configured, and per‑stop service time is factored into ETAs shown to customers.
Yes. Use EasyRoutes Order Filters to build the batch you want to route. Common filters include delivery date ranges, order/fulfillment status, tags, and geography (postal/ZIP code, city, country, or your own delivery zones). Filters apply to Shopify orders and any imported/manual stops so a single route can cover precisely the area and schedule you intend.
See: Order Filters
Yes. When real‑time tracking is enabled, customer tracking pages can show an anonymized, live GPS pin as the driver approaches (configurable between 1 and 10 stops away). Turn on live location in EasyRoutes Settings → Driver settings, and enable the customer display option in EasyRoutes Settings → Order tracking. This capability is available across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
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.
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. From any route, use the checkboxes to select one or more stops, then click the bulk actions bar and choose Send to another route. You can also open a Route Group and drag stops from one route to another within the group. After moving, click Save and (optionally) Re‑optimize to update the stop order and ETAs. This workflow works the same in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
Use this to balance workloads mid‑day, handle late additions, or consolidate leftovers onto a cleanup route.
Yes. Add the instruction to a saved customer in your Address Book and it carries over to that customer's future stops; for one-off orders, add it as a stop note. Shopify local-delivery instructions are also parsed onto the stop automatically.
These notes display to the driver in the app, and a required Driver Task can prompt them to confirm the leave-at-door step. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Driver & Stop Notes · Address Book
Yes. You can reshape a zone after creating it — open Settings > Delivery Zones, select the zone, adjust its points on the map, then save your changes. You can also rename it or change its route colour at any time. Updated boundaries apply the next time you use that zone to select orders for a route. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Delivery Zones
Yes. Programmatically modify routes and stops using the Routes API — update stop status (delivered/attempted), change assignments, dispatch routes to drivers, or edit route options, then re‑optimize as needed. When your store uses EasyRoutes notifications, status changes made through the API follow the same rules and can send customer updates and refresh ETAs. This applies to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
Yes. The Activity Feed is designed to provide a verifiable sequence of events — who did what, and when — covering route creation, dispatch, status changes, driver assignments, and proof‑of‑delivery uploads. For external reviews or compliance checks, export related routes/stops to CSV to provide structured records and links to PoD. Together, these sources form a complete audit trail.
