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?
Yes. Workflows automate delivery tasks inside EasyRoutes, while Zapier connects EasyRoutes to external systems. Together, they create powerful end-to-end automation. For instance, a Workflow might create a route when orders arrive, while Zapier sends Slack alerts or updates a Google Sheet whenever stops on that route are completed. This layered approach ensures internal and external processes stay in sync.
See: Workflows Overview
Yes. From EasyRoutes Settings → Driver settings, define what drivers can access on mobile. Options include letting drivers manually re‑order stops, re‑optimize the remaining sequence mid‑route, and whether to show sensitive customer data (e.g., email, phone, notes). These controls apply to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web so you can tailor the experience to your policies.
See: Configure what is shown to the driver · Driver‑side re‑optimize
Yes. If a driver is seasonal or temporarily inactive, they can be temporarily deactivated until required again. The driver’s profile, history, and assignments remain in your account, but they cannot receive routes or sign in until re‑activated. This helps control costs without losing configuration.
Manage seats from the Drivers & Vehicles tab of the EasyRoutes navigation menu. Works in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
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.
Yes. Alongside EasyRoutes-native barcodes, drivers can scan existing product or order barcodes and QR codes — including supplier UPC, EAN, Code 128, and 2D formats like QR and Data Matrix — using the phone camera. Externally generated codes are captured and stored with the stop for reference, though match validation (the green/yellow confirmation) applies to EasyRoutes-native codes. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
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
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.
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
Yes. From any route, use the checkboxes to select one or more stops, then click the bulk actions bar and choose Send to another route. You can also open a Route Group and drag stops from one route to another within the group. After moving, click Save and (optionally) Re‑optimize to update the stop order and ETAs. This workflow works the same in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
Use this to balance workloads mid‑day, handle late additions, or consolidate leftovers onto a cleanup route.
No, you don’t need to be a developer to take advantage of Workflows. The Workflows feature is designed to be accessible to non-technical users by using a visual, menu-based interface. You simply select a scheduling frequency, define any conditions (like “only include orders tagged Local Delivery”), and choose an action (for example, “create and dispatch a route”).
This no-code design makes Workflows similar to popular automation tools like Zapier or Shopify Flow, where anyone can build powerful automations just by clicking and selecting from available options. That said, more advanced users can extend Workflows with APIs or webhooks to create complex, custom integrations, giving both beginners and power users maximum flexibility.
See: No-Code Automation
Yes. When you collect an e-signature, the driver can record who signed — the "Signed for" name is stored with the stop and appears in exports. For an explicit record, add a Driver Task text field for the recipient's name, and the driver can add a note or photo as well.
All of it is saved to the stop's proof-of-delivery timeline and can be shown on the customer's tracking page. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Proof of Delivery · Driver Tasks
Yes. When location capture is enabled, EasyRoutes records the driver’s GPS location and a timestamp alongside each proof-of-delivery entry — photos, e-signature, notes, and barcode scans — so every completed stop has a location and time on record. You can review these details on the route’s stop entries and include driver location when exporting stop data for your files. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
Yes. When you create several routes together, EasyRoutes places them in a Route Group so you can manage a delivery day (or multiple zones) as a single unit. From the group page you can dispatch all routes, view colour‑coded live driver pins, move stops between routes, and balance workloads. Route Groups work the same in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web and are ideal for medium/large fleets or recurring delivery days.
See: Route Groups
By default, CSV imports are static snapshots. To achieve real-time updates, you can set up Zapier workflows or use the EasyRoutes API. For example, if an order’s address changes in WooCommerce, Zapier or a custom API connection can automatically push that update into EasyRoutes, ensuring drivers always have the latest information.
See: Zapier Guide
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.
Yes. The Analytics dashboard summarizes delivered vs. missed (attempted) stops so you can monitor delivery success across time or by driver. Use this report to identify recurring issues (e.g., address problems or access constraints) and to validate improvements after workflow changes.
For context on individual failures, open the underlying routes or stops to review notes and proof‑of‑delivery entries. You can also export the analytics view as CSV for further analysis or sharing with stakeholders.
See: Analytics Reports
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
To sign in, add the driver to your EasyRoutes account (Shopify or Web) with their phone number. The driver installs the app and enters that number; we send a one‑time SMS code to complete sign‑in. Routes assigned to that number appear automatically. If a driver changes phone numbers, update their driver profile so dispatch and permissions match.
See: How do I sign in or sign up for EasyRoutes Delivery Driver?
Yes. For flexible fleets, create a self‑assign link so any active driver can claim the route from the link. This is useful for contractor pools or last‑minute coverage — whoever taps the link first becomes the assigned driver. You can share links in SMS, WhatsApp, or Slack and revoke them if needed.
Yes. You can direct the route optimizer to avoid tolls and or u‑turns for both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. These preferences guide the routing engine to favour compliant roads and turns, which may increase distance or time if alternatives cover a greater distance. Set these options globally from the Route Options panel, or add them to an existing route and re‑optimize to apply. Combine with other constraints (such as time windows, max route duration, or vehicle capacity) to keep routes realistic for drivers and accurate for customer ETAs.
See: Route Options
Yes. Workflows are available across both EasyRoutes platforms, but their triggers and available actions are tailored to fit the data each platform provides. On Shopify, Workflows integrate tightly with orders, fulfillments, and Shopify-specific tags or delivery methods. On EasyRoutes for Web, you can use Workflows to automate processes based on imported orders (CSV uploads or API connections) and route activity.
This flexibility means that whether you’re using Shopify to manage your e-commerce orders or relying on EasyRoutes for Web to handle deliveries from another system, you can still benefit from automation. Businesses that operate across multiple platforms can use Workflows to keep all of their delivery processes running consistently.
See: Workflows Setup
EasyRoutes generates packing labels you print from your browser or as a PDF, so it works with any printer rather than a specific brand — including thermal label printers and standard sheet printers. Set your label size (for example 4×6 thermal or A4/Letter), layout, and font scale in Settings > Packing Slips & Labels, then match your printer’s paper size and scale. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
Yes. Proof of delivery (PoD) captured in the driver app — photos, signature confirmation, and driver notes — is attached to the stop and can be surfaced on the customer’s tracking page. Enable PoD display in EasyRoutes Settings → Order tracking, and use notifications to share links automatically when a stop is delivered or attempted. PoD is also visible to admins on the route and order records for auditing and support.
Yes. When real‑time tracking is enabled, customer tracking pages can show an anonymized, live GPS pin as the driver approaches (configurable between 1 and 10 stops away). Turn on live location in EasyRoutes Settings → Driver settings, and enable the customer display option in EasyRoutes Settings → Order tracking. This capability is available across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
