Your on-time rate reflects the share of deliveries completed within their scheduled delivery window, based on the timestamps captured when drivers mark stops complete. Open the Analytics tab and choose a time period (and optionally a driver) to see on-time performance alongside completion rates and delivery durations. Route scheduling and time windows need to be set for on-time measurement to be meaningful. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

EasyRoutes for Shopify is best suited for merchants who already sell goods or services within the Shopify ecosystem. Users can plan optimized delivery routes with all orders received through their Shopify storefront, created via draft orders, or imported manually as custom stops.
EasyRoutes for Shopify integrates seamlessly with the Shopify Admin and dozens of leading third-party apps, making it the ideal choice for Shopify merchants seeking a streamlined local delivery solution.
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.

Yes, when available. Expanding an Activity Feed entry and opening its details shows who initiated the event — a user’s email address (or Shopify user ID) or a driver’s name — along with the IP address and device details captured for that action. This makes the feed useful for tracing changes and for compliance review. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Activity Feed
EasyRoutes doesn't have a setting that hard-locks a stop to one named person, but you can require and document the hand-off. Add a required Driver Task — a text field for the recipient's name, or a checkbox confirming "handed to named recipient" — that must be completed to mark the stop delivered, and note the required recipient in a stop note so the driver knows who to look for.
Pair it with a required e-signature so the signer is captured too. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

The cutoff, lead-time, and blackout-date rules you configure live inside your date picker app and control what customers can select at checkout — EasyRoutes doesn't import those rules. What it does read is the resulting delivery date and time window the app writes onto each order, which it then uses for filtering and routing. So the customer-facing scheduling limits stay with your picker, while EasyRoutes plans around the dates and windows they produce. This applies to 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.

Yes. EasyRoutes supports multiple label sizes. Pick a base size and text scale in EasyRoutes Settings → Packing Slips & Labels, then confirm your printer uses the matching paper (e.g., 4×6) with an appropriate print scale.
EasyRoutes calculates ETAs from drive times and your configured service time per stop, adjusting for start/end locations, stop priorities, and time windows. As drivers complete stops, ETAs refresh automatically based on actual timing. The best results come from accurate addresses, realistic service times, and consistent driver start times.
Customers see ETAs on tracking pages and (optionally) receive updates via email/SMS.
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. The EasyRoutes Delivery Driver mobile app supports complete proof of delivery: capture multiple photos, obtain a customer e‑signature, and add notes (e.g., where the parcel was left). PoD is stored with the stop and visible to admins; if you enable PoD on tracking pages, customers can view it as well. PoD uploads immediately when a driver has an active internet connection, and will sync when re-connected if captured while offline.

Yes. If you don’t use Shopify, EasyRoutes for Web provides the same core workflow — order intake, route planning, dispatch, tracking, proof of delivery, and analytics. Bring orders in via CSV uploads, the Routes API, or webhooks/Zapier. You can also mix non‑Shopify orders with Shopify orders if you operate via multiple e-commerce channels.
Customer tracking pages and notifications work the same, and drivers use the same EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app.
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. 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.
Yes. BigCommerce orders can be routed alongside orders from Shopify, WooCommerce, Squarespace, or other platforms. You can import or sync all orders into one EasyRoutes account, then generate optimized routes across them. This helps centralize multi-platform delivery operations.
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.
Yes. Use the driver filter on the Analytics page to view metrics for a single driver or compare across drivers by switching the filter. This helps you evaluate utilization, completion rates, average stop times, and trends over time. It’s supported in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web and respects any date range you’ve selected.
If a driver worked on multiple routes per day, those results roll up in the selected period. For route‑by‑route detail, open the route list and drill into specific days.
See: Filtering by Driver
For reliable live tracking, drivers should: (1) sign in to EasyRoutes Delivery Driver; (2) allow Always/Allow all the time location access; (3) enable Precise location; and (4) keep battery optimization from restricting the app (disable aggressive battery saver if needed). These settings apply on both iOS and Android and can be checked from device Settings.

To import Squarespace orders, go to your Squarespace dashboard, navigate to “Orders,” and click the “Download CSV” button. Make sure only “Pending” orders are selected for export. Once downloaded, upload the CSV file into EasyRoutes via the “Import new CSV” option. Orders will appear as pins on the EasyRoutes map, ready for optimized route planning. This simple process makes it easy to bring Squarespace order data into your delivery workflow.
Most likely, yes. EasyRoutes doesn't depend on a specific app — it reads the delivery date and time window from your Shopify orders. As long as your date picker writes that data into order attributes or order tags in a recognized format (for example, a "Delivery Date" attribute or a "8:00 AM - 12:00 PM" time value), it will appear in EasyRoutes. If it doesn't show up, enable the Order Tags and Order Attributes columns to view the raw data, or reach out to support.

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.
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. 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.
SMS usage fees and monthly pricing tiers are identical for both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web, with the exception of our Free monthly pricing tier, which is currently only available on EasyRoutes for Shopify. EasyRoutes for both platforms continues to offer a free 14-day trial of any pricing tier for new users to give a advanced features a test drive. Both platforms function on the same driver seat model, where you only pay for the number of drivers that are active in your account at any time.
EasyRoutes for Shopify uses Shopify’s native billing tools for all subscription and SMS usage top-ups and monthly invoicing. EasyRoutes for Web functions on the same principles, but uses an independent billing provider offering industry-standard security and encryption for all transactions.

Yes. Access to the EasyRoutes API and webhooks requires a Premium (or higher) subscription across both products (Shopify and Web). If you’re evaluating, you can prototype with CSV import or the driver app while you finalize your integration plan, then enable API once you upgrade.
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.
