Can I build Workflows with conditional logic?

Yes. Workflows can include multiple steps and conditions, such as only dispatching routes to certain drivers if the route exceeds a number of stops, or only adding particular stops if the corresponding order includes certain tags. There are no limits to how many Workflows route planners can create, offering maximum flexibility for businesses with varying delivery schedules.

Workflows also respects conditions that are applied via EasyRoutes' order automation rules, giving route planners additional tools and controls for automatically applying time windows, delivery dates, driver tasks, or stop priority status based on matching order tags or attributes.

See: Conditional Workflows · Order Automation Rules

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

What are some pre-built Zapier templates for EasyRoutes?

Zapier includes ready-to-use templates to help you get started quickly. Examples include sending Gmail alerts when a stop is delivered, creating rows in Google Sheets when a route updates, or updating project management tools like Trello with delivery status. These templates save setup time and let you deploy automations in just a few clicks.

See: EasyRoutes Zapier Templates

How do my route planners and other staff access EasyRoutes?

EasyRoutes for Shopify is seamlessly integrated into merchants’ Shopify Admin, and can be accessed directly from the navigation menu or search bar after logging into Shopify.  Permissions to create, edit, and dispatch delivery routes are limited to the same individuals who have a Shopify user account with full login access to a store’s Shopify Admin.

EasyRoutes for Web uses a standalone web browser-based login, with no Shopify account required to sign up, import your orders, and access route planning tools.  With EasyRoutes for Web, route planning administrators can invite additional users to their organization’s account who can then access select EasyRoutes functionality.

See: Getting started · Add collaborators

Can EasyRoutes print packing slips for each stop?

Yes. You can generate packing slips for each stop from the route’s Print menu. Choose Packing slips to produce slips in route order, then print or save as PDF for digital handoff. Customize content (logo, variables, formatting) from EasyRoutes Settings → Packing Slips & Labels.

EasyRoutes for Shopify: Use the built-in Print Preview, or send orders to Shopify’s Order Printer/Order Printer Pro for custom templates (Order Printer Pro supports route order).
EasyRoutes for Web: Use the same Print Preview and Settings controls directly in the web app.

See: Printing Packing Slips

What happens when a scanned barcode doesn't match?

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.

See: Scanning on the mobile app

Can I delete or archive old routes?

Yes. In both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web you can keep route history tidy by archiving routes you no longer need to manage daily, or permanently delete them. Use the checkboxes to select desired routes from the Routes page, and use the actions menu to archive or delete. Archiving preserves stop records, proof of delivery (photos/signature/notes), and analytics, so you can still search and export later. Deleting removes the route from Route History — make sure to export any reports you need first.

Use filters on the Routes page to show active, completed, or archived runs when you’re reconciling a period.

See: How do I archive or delete routes from my route history?

Can I print labels for each package?

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.

See: How do I print packing labels?

How is proof of delivery captured when no one is present to receive the order?

When no one is available, the driver documents the drop instead of collecting a signature: up to four photos of where the order was left, an optional note (e.g., "left behind the side gate"), and the GPS location and timestamp captured automatically. All of it is saved to the stop's proof-of-delivery record.

You can make a photo and/or note mandatory to mark the stop delivered, and display these items on the customer's tracking page for confidence. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Proof of Delivery · Customer tracking pages

Can I dispatch routes directly to a driver?

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.

See: How do I dispatch / share routes?

Does the app provide turn-by-turn navigation?

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.

See: How do I select a navigation app? · Getting Directions

How do I change my plan?

You can upgrade or downgrade anytime from EasyRoutes Settings. Plan changes take effect immediately and we’ll prorate charges/credits for the remainder of your current cycle. If you also adjust the number of driver seats, those changes are prorated as well. Billing is handled via Shopify (EasyRoutes for Shopify) or Stripe (EasyRoutes for Web), depending on your product.

See: Change your plan · Prorated plan changes

Does the app provide turn-by-turn navigation?

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.

See: How do I select a navigation app? · Getting Directions

How do I authenticate API requests?

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.

See: EasyRoutes API Getting Started Guide

Can I track driver performance?

Yes. Use Delivery Analytics to review outcomes by driver — completed vs. missed stops, average delivery time, and overall success rate — over a selected period. Filter to focus on a single driver or compare across the team. For detailed investigations, open routes to see timestamps and proof of delivery, or export results for use in external tools.

See: Delivery Analytics

Can I edit or reshape a zone after creating it?

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

Can I factor driver breaks into my optimized routes?

Yes. You can add breaks before optimization (by setting the planned break time) or after creating a route (by inserting a break and positioning it between stops). Breaks appear to drivers as a stop in the sequence, and when a break is included in a route, EasyRoutes will recalculate remaining ETAs and the overall route duration. This is useful for lunch windows, mandatory rest periods, or overnight pauses. For multi‑day itineraries, consider splitting different days into separate routes, or using an overnight strategy so customer ETAs align with actual delivery periods.

See: Driver Breaks · Overnight / Multi‑day routes

Can EasyRoutes send notifications for Xero deliveries?

Yes. Once invoices are imported into EasyRoutes, customers linked to those invoices can receive branded notifications via email or SMS, complete with live tracking links. This improves delivery transparency and reduces customer inquiries.

See: EasyRoutes for Xero

How are same-day changes handled?

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

How do I set stop priorities for optimization?

Open a stop’s Actions menu (the three-dot icon) and mark it as High or Low priority, or select several stops and set their priority in bulk. When a route has limits (like max stops, items, or duration), High Priority stops are included first and Low Priority ones are dropped first. You can also auto-apply priority through order import rules. Priority stops are a Premium and Enterprise feature, in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Priority stops

Does EasyRoutes store customer data?

Yes. EasyRoutes processes order and customer information to plan routes, power tracking/notifications, and provide proof‑of‑delivery records. We protect this data with modern security practices and retain it according to your account activity and legal requirements. We do not sell personal information; limited sharing may occur with subprocessors strictly to operate EasyRoutes, as described in our privacy policy.

For data removal requests, contact support and we’ll guide you through available options.

See: Privacy Policy

Does EasyRoutes have an API?

Yes. You can integrate EasyRoutes with ERPs, CRMs, WMS, and custom apps using our API and webhooks. Typical use cases include importing stops from non‑Shopify channels, syncing delivery status and proof‑of‑delivery back to your system of record, and powering external analytics collection. The same platform supports both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: API Getting Started Guide · Routes API

Can I archive or delete zones I no longer use?

Yes. In Settings > Delivery Zones, tick the zones you no longer need and click Archive to remove them from your active list. Archived zones aren’t gone for good — use the Add filter control below the map to show Archived or All, then select and Unarchive any you want back. This keeps your active zone list tidy without losing past boundaries. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Delivery Zones

What types of 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

Can I integrate EasyRoutes with other business tools?

Yes. Integrate EasyRoutes with your existing stack in two ways: (1) programmatically via the Routes API to import stops, create/dispatch routes, and update status; and (2) event‑driven with webhooks and Zapier to push delivery events into Sheets, Slack, email, ERPs/CRMs, or custom endpoints. These options are available for both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: API Getting Started Guide · Integrate webhooks with Zapier

Can I customize the branding of the customer tracking page?

Yes. Your customer tracking page carries your branding — add your logo and adjust the look from EasyRoutes Settings > Order Tracking, and choose which order details and delivery information customers see. Paired with your notification settings, customers get a consistent, branded experience with live ETAs and driver location. This is separate from your email/SMS template customization. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
