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

Can I import orders into EasyRoutes from spreadsheets?

Yes. Upload a CSV to create stops with customer, address, and item details — even if the orders weren’t placed in Shopify. The importer supports line‑item fields such as quantity and weight so you can use vehicle capacity limits accurately. Once imported, these stops can be filtered, optimized into routes, and dispatched to drivers like any other order source.

See: How to import orders from CSV

Can I export customer delivery data?

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.

See: How do I export routes/stops?

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

Can I get started with EasyRoutes quickly?

Setup is quick: install EasyRoutes (Shopify) or sign in (Web), connect drivers, select orders with filters, and click Create route. Use the defaults for service times and route options, then print or dispatch to the driver app. Most trial users reach a working route within an hour, often faster with our step‑by‑step guide.

If you import orders from outside Shopify, start with a small CSV or a few manual stops to validate the flow before scaling.

See: EasyRoutes Getting Started Guide

Can I use Workflows with WooCommerce orders?

Yes. After your WooCommerce orders are imported into EasyRoutes (via CSV, Zapier, or API), you can use EasyRoutes’ Workflows to automate the next steps. For instance, you could create a Workflow that builds and dispatches routes every morning from all WooCommerce orders tagged as “Local Delivery.” This ensures WooCommerce data flows into the same automation engine used across EasyRoutes.

See: Workflows Overview

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

What's the best way to keep perishable goods at temperature during multi-stop routes?

Keep product moving and time on the road low. Cap Max route duration and Max stops/items per route so no run exceeds your safe window, and let optimization split the overflow into extra routes. Use time windows and priority stops so the most temperature-sensitive orders are delivered first.

Pair the routing with physical cold-chain steps — insulated bags or coolers — and a required Driver Task to confirm handling. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Max route duration · Priority Stops

Does EasyRoutes support webhooks?

Yes. Both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web support webhooks that notify your apps when key delivery events occur—such as routes created/dispatched/updated and stops started/completed/attempted. Use them to sync delivery status into ERPs/CRMs, trigger customer communications, or update internal dashboards in real time. You can consume webhooks directly at your API endpoint or use Zapier to route events into thousands of tools (Sheets, Slack, email, etc.). Webhooks require a Premium (or higher) plan.

See: Integrate EasyRoutes Webhooks with Zapier

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

What is my on-time delivery rate and how is it measured?

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.

See: Analytics

Can I dispatch a route to a driver from EasyRoutes?

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

Does EasyRoutes support real-time updates for Wix orders?

By default, CSV imports are static snapshots. To enable real-time updates, you can set up a Zapier workflow that pushes new or updated Wix orders into EasyRoutes automatically. Alternatively, use the API to sync live changes such as address edits or cancellations, ensuring drivers always have up-to-date information.

See: Zapier Guide

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

How do I manage my active drivers?

Invite drivers from the Drivers & Vehicles tab, then assign a driver seat to activate them. Deactivate drivers anytime to free a seat without deleting their profile or history. You can switch which people occupy seats as staffing changes — ideal for seasonal or on-call drivers. These controls are available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Add a driver · Activate/deactivate drivers

Can Zapier integrate EasyRoutes with my CRM or ERP?

Zapier’s app directory includes thousands of CRMs, ERPs, and productivity tools. With EasyRoutes as the trigger, you can automatically update customer records in HubSpot when a delivery is completed, or sync invoice statuses in NetSuite when routes are dispatched. This ensures delivery data flows into the rest of your business systems seamlessly.

See: Zapier App Directory

Do I need coding skills to connect Wix with EasyRoutes?

No coding is required if you use Zapier, which allows you to set up automations like sending new Wix orders into EasyRoutes with just a few clicks. For businesses needing deeper control, the EasyRoutes API allows developers to build integrations for syncing fulfillments, handling custom workflows, or connecting to other back-office systems.

See: EasyRoutes API Guide

Can I send staff notifications through Zapier when a stop is completed?

Zapier makes it easy to send internal notifications whenever a stop status changes in EasyRoutes. For example, you can set up a Zap that listens for the STOP_STATUS_UPDATED webhook and then sends a Slack alert or email to your team with details like the order number and driver notes. This keeps staff informed in real time without needing to manually monitor dashboards.

See: Zapier Staff Notifications

Does EasyRoutes offer training?

Yes. Most teams ramp using our self‑serve resources: the Getting Started guide, topic‑specific articles, and short videos embedded throughout the Help Center. If questions arise, contact us via email from inside the app or the Support Portal; we aim to respond the same business day. Customers on the Enterprise plan receive priority responses and can coordinate onboarding help prior to go‑live.

See: Getting Started with EasyRoutes · Help Center

Can EasyRoutes connect to multiple Shopify stores?

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?

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?

Are there differences for drivers between products?

No. Both products dispatch routes to the same EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app on iOS and Android. Drivers get identical navigation choices (Google/Apple/Waze), proof-of-delivery tools, barcode/driver tasks, and optional features like re-optimizing remaining stops or scheduled breaks — controlled by your admin settings. Any differences are admin-side only (e.g., Shopify-specific fields shown/hidden).

See: Delivery Driver app · Barcode scanning · Location tracking

Does EasyRoutes automatically sync orders from Shopify?

Yes. EasyRoutes keeps your order list synchronized with Shopify so recent orders, edits, and fulfillment changes are available for routing without manual imports. If an expected order isn’t visible, confirm the Show orders from the last… window, and other filters on the Orders page, then refresh. You can also import non‑Shopify orders alongside synced Shopify orders when needed.

See: How EasyRoutes works with Shopify items & fulfillments

Can EasyRoutes sync Wix orders automatically?

Yes. While CSV imports are manual, you can connect Wix to EasyRoutes automatically using Zapier or our API. For example, you can create a Zap that triggers whenever a new Wix order is placed, sending it directly to EasyRoutes for route creation. Advanced users can also use the API to sync orders and updates in real time, keeping your delivery workflow fully automated.

See: Zapier Integration

How do I import Xero invoices into EasyRoutes?

From your Xero dashboard, go to the Business tab → Invoices, then use the Export button to download a CSV of the invoices you want to deliver. In EasyRoutes, click “Import new CSV” and upload the file. The system maps fields such as contact name, address, invoice number, and product details to create delivery-ready routes.

See: Xero Import Guide

Can I save frequent delivery zones?

Yes. Use the Delivery Zones tool to outline one or more areas on the map, then filter/select orders within those zones to build your route quickly. Zones help planners batch by neighbourhood or service area and pair well with other filters like tags or dates. Once configured, zones are stored permanently to standardize your daily workflow when planning for the same areas.

See: Delivery Zones / Areas
