Can I limit or balance the number of orders per delivery time slot?

Capping how many orders a customer can book into a given slot is handled by your date picker app at checkout (for example, Pickeasy's order limits), not by EasyRoutes. On the planning side, EasyRoutes helps you balance the resulting workload: filter orders by delivery date and time window, then split them across multiple routes or drivers, and the optimizer sequences each route to respect its windows. Together they keep slots controlled and routes balanced. This applies to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Using Pickeasy with EasyRoutes · Order Filters

Can multiple stores use a single EasyRoutes account?

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.

See: Can I connect multiple Shopify stores to EasyRoutes?

Does EasyRoutes work internationally?

Yes. EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web work in many countries around the world. Address geocoding, map tiles, and driving directions are available globally, and core features — route optimization, driver app, tracking links, and proof of delivery — operate the same. In certain regions, map data or SMS availability may differ based on local providers.

Before rollout, confirm your country is supported and run a quick pilot to validate address formats (postal codes, provinces) and notification deliverability.

See: Unsupported Countries

What data does Delivery Analytics provide?

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.

See: Delivery Analytics · Activity Feed

Does EasyRoutes support different vehicle types or capacities when optimizing?

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

What real-time tracking data can I see as an admin?

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

Can I print my route details for drivers?

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.

See: How do I print a route? · Route Inventory/Packing List

How do I switch to EasyRoutes from another delivery app?

Switching is straightforward. On Shopify, install EasyRoutes and your orders sync automatically — no data migration needed. For orders from other systems or platforms, bring them in by CSV/spreadsheet import (an AI assistant maps your columns), Zapier, or the API, then set your route options and add drivers to start routing. Most merchants are live the same day. Works with both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Getting Started · Import orders from CSV

How does EasyRoutes handle orders without a shipping address?

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?

Can I set a default "leave at door" instruction for certain orders or customers?

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

Can I track my drivers in real-time?

Yes. With Premium or Enterprise plans, turn on live tracking from EasyRoutes Settings → Driver settings. You’ll see a live GPS pin, breadcrumb path, current/next stop, and real‑time status updates on each route’s Tracking tab. Ensure drivers grant Always/Precise location permissions in the Delivery Driver app. Route Groups let you monitor multiple drivers at once.

See: Real‑Time Driver Location Tracking

Does EasyRoutes support real-time updates for Squarespace orders?

By default, CSV imports are static snapshots of your Squarespace orders. For real-time updates, you can set up Zapier workflows that push new or updated Squarespace orders into EasyRoutes automatically. Alternatively, you can use the EasyRoutes API to sync changes like address updates or cancellations. This ensures your delivery routes always have the latest order information. See: Zapier Integration

How do I add a driver to EasyRoutes?

Access the Drivers & Vehicles tab from the EasyRoutes navigation menu, click Add driver, and enter the driver’s name and phone number. EasyRoutes sends the invite; the driver installs the Delivery Driver app and signs in with an SMS code. Assign a seat to activate them and dispatch their first route.

See: How do I add a driver?

How does EasyRoutes optimize my delivery routes?

EasyRoutes builds efficient routes by combining your inputs (orders/stops and addresses) with constraints and preferences. It accounts for start and end locations, optional time windows, per‑stop service times, speed factors, and limits such as maximum duration, stops, items, or weight. You can create multiple routes at once, balance stops evenly, or optimize for the fewest routes that still meet your limits. After reviewing the map and stop list, drag‑and‑drop stops to make manual adjustments, then re‑optimize to apply changes.

See: Route Options · EasyRoutes 101: Route Optimization & Route Options

Can I balance stops evenly across several routes?

Yes. When creating multiple routes as a group, use the Balance routes feature to spread stops evenly across drivers and routes. Balancing respects your other settings — such as max route duration, max stops/items, custom start/end locations, and time windows — so each route remains feasible. You can also choose to create and auto‑assign routes to selected drivers, then re‑optimize each route to fine‑tune their sequence and ETAs. This feature is available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web and is especially helpful for daily batch planning.

Can I track my drivers in real-time?

Yes. With Premium or Enterprise plans, turn on live tracking from EasyRoutes Settings → Driver settings. You’ll see a live GPS pin, breadcrumb path, current/next stop, and real‑time status updates on each route’s Tracking tab. Ensure drivers grant Always/Precise location permissions in the Delivery Driver app. Route Groups let you monitor multiple drivers at once.

Can I combine Wix orders with other platform orders in EasyRoutes?

Yes. EasyRoutes is designed to unify multi-platform delivery operations. You can import Wix orders and combine them with orders from Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or other sources. All orders appear in one dashboard, so you can generate optimized multi-stop routes across platforms. See: EasyRoutes for Wix

Can I schedule routes in advance to share ETAs?

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.

See: Route Scheduling & ETAs · Tracking & notifications

How do I set up a Scanner-input Driver Task?

From your Orders page, open Add/edit options, find the Driver tasks card and click Enable, then Add new task and choose the Scanner input type. Give it a name (e.g. “Scan product barcode”) and, if you want it enforced, tick Delivered and/or Attempted to require a scan before the stop can be completed. Save, and drivers are prompted to scan at each stop. Driver tasks are available on Premium and Enterprise plans.

See: Driver tasks · Barcode scanning

Are there any differences in the customer experience between products?

Customizable delivery status notifications (both email and SMS), order tracking pages including delivery ETAs, real-time driver location tracking, and Proof of Delivery (photos, eSignature, driver note, delivery GPS location) are all broadly supported on both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

Customers receiving deliveries via either platform will benefit from the same user experience, tailored to meet your brand’s standards.

See: Tracking pages · Delivery notifications · Proof of Delivery

Can I notify a customer when a delivery is rescheduled or reattempted?

Yes. Enable the Rescheduled template in Customer notifications and customize its message and variables (new date, time window, tracking link). When you reschedule a stop to a new day or route, you can send the updated notification so the customer isn't left guessing — and a Missed Delivery notice can go out automatically when a stop is marked Attempted.

Notifications work over email and SMS for both Shopify orders and imported or manual stops, across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Delivery Notifications – Email & SMS

Which plans include barcode scanning?

Barcode scanning is available on EasyRoutes Premium and Enterprise plans. Scanner-input Driver Tasks and barcode-based proof-of-delivery requirements both live in those tiers, in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. If you’re on a lower plan and want to validate stops by scan, upgrading to Premium or above enables it.

See: Driver tasks · Barcode scanning

How does EasyRoutes use real-time traffic in route optimization?

EasyRoutes factors expected traffic conditions into its route optimization and ETA calculations, using live map and traffic data to sequence stops and estimate arrival times. As conditions or your stops change, you can re-optimize at any time and EasyRoutes recalculates the most efficient order. This works alongside options like time windows, toll avoidance, and stop priorities. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Route Options

What app permissions are required?

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?

How does billing work for an EasyRoutes plan subscription?

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.
