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. Manual and imported stops can send the same email/SMS notifications as Shopify orders once configured. In EasyRoutes Settings → Customer notifications, enable templates under the Imported Orders sections and ensure each stop includes an email address and or phone number. Use tracking links to provide status and proof of delivery even when the source isn’t Shopify.
Yes. The EasyRoutes Routes API accepts imported stops (customer details, address, items, notes) so you can bring orders from non‑Shopify sources into EasyRoutes. After importing, you can create new routes, add the stops to existing routes, assign drivers, and dispatch. This works for both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web and complements CSV import when you need automation.
Yes. Click into a route to make changes: add orders or custom stops, update addresses and service times, change the assigned driver (or vehicle), or edit start/end locations and the scheduled start. Drag‑and‑drop the list to manually adjust the stop sequence, or select multiple stops to bulk‑move them to another route. The editing toolbox is the same in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: How to Edit Routes
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
When a driver captures an e‑signature, customers see an indicator and timestamp on the tracking page confirming that the order was signed for. The signature image is stored with the stop for internal use (support, audits) and can be accessed by admins; it is not shown directly to customers to protect privacy.
See: Proof of Delivery
Yes. From the Routes page or an individual route, export CSV files containing stop information (customer name, address, contact fields), timing, driver assignments, and URLs to any proof of delivery items. Use these exports for customer service, accounting reconciliation, or analysis in spreadsheets and external tools.
If a scanned code doesn’t match the stop, the app shows it in yellow rather than the green used for a confirmed match, so the driver can tell right away. Non-matching scans can still be saved, and drivers can flag a scan issue from the alert icon on the Add Barcode screen, which sends a report to the route planner instead of a matched scan. Works the same in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
While there isn’t a separate public sandbox, you can safely test in a non‑production environment. Create a test shop (Shopify) or an EasyRoutes for Web workspace with sample data, generate a dedicated API token, and point webhooks to staging URLs. Use draft orders or manual stops that contain your own contact info so notifications and tracking tests go only to your team. When your flows are validated, switch credentials and endpoints to production.
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.
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.
Yes. The EasyRoutes API enforces rate limits to ensure consistent performance for all users. Most workflows run comfortably within default limits when you batch requests, avoid unnecessary polling, and rely on webhooks to trigger updates rather than frequent reads. If you expect sustained high throughput (e.g., large imports or rapid status updates), our team can help you design an efficient approach and advise on limits for your use case.
The Delivery Driver app interface is available in English, Dutch, and German, and drivers can set their preferred app language from the app’s settings. Separately, the customer-facing side — tracking pages and email/SMS notifications — is fully customizable, so you can write that content in whatever language your customers speak. Language options apply the same way in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
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.
Workflows are available on EasyRoutes Premium and Enterprise plans. These plans are designed for businesses that need more advanced tools to handle larger delivery volumes and complex processes. On Premium and Enterprise, you not only get access to Workflows, but also other advanced features like custom notifications, vehicle profiles, real-time driver tracking, and delivery analytics.
If you’re running a small business with only a few deliveries per week, you may be fine with a Standard plan. But if your business is scaling or you want to automate as much as possible, upgrading to Premium ensures you can take advantage of Workflows. This investment pays off quickly by saving your team time, reducing manual work, and improving consistency across your delivery operations.
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. See: Squarespace Integration
Yes. From any route you can dispatch to a specific driver, or share a route link that allows self‑assignment by your driver pool. Assigned drivers receive the route in the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app (iOS/Android) with turn‑by‑turn directions via their preferred navigation app. For busy days, combine dispatch with Route Groups to release multiple routes at once and monitor progress on a single screen. This behaviour is consistent across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: How do I dispatch / share routes? · Route Dispatch Links / Driver Self‑Assign
Yes. EasyRoutes opens your driver’s preferred navigation app for turn‑by‑turn directions. Drivers can choose Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Waze as their default navigation app from the mobile app's settings page. Drivers can also long tap and choose a different app on the fly if needed. Getting directions is available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
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. Open any template in the Notifications editor and use Preview with Example Data to see how your message will render, including variables. You can also send a real‑world test by creating a draft order or manual stop with your own contact details, and triggering notifications on a sample route. Preview/testing tools are available for both email and SMS on Shopify and Web.
Yes. Barcode scans are stored alongside the stop’s other proof of delivery — photos, e-signature, and notes — and can be reviewed live on the Route page or after the route is complete. When you export stop data, you can include Scanned barcodes and Scanned barcode issues columns for your records. This applies in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
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.

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. If a driver’s phone was offline or a photo needs to be re‑added, open the stop in EasyRoutes and upload PoD from your browser. The new items join the stop’s timeline with timestamps and appear in exports and tracking (subject to your visibility settings). This works across both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Manually upload PoD
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.

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.
