Driver seats control who can receive routes and use the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app. Assign a seat to any driver in your roster to activate them; deactivate a seat when a driver is seasonal or temporarily off the road. You’re billed only for the number of seats included at your plan at any time. Deactivating preserves the driver’s details and history so you can re‑activate them later without re‑inviting.
Seat management is available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web from the Drivers & Vehicles tab of the EasyRoutes navigation menu, or the Billing tab of EasyRoutes Settings for plan upgrades/downgrades.
Yes. 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.

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. See: Squarespace Import Guide
EasyRoutes maintains a persistent log of account activity so admins have an authoritative record of delivery events over time. The Activity Feed retains entries for the lifetime of your account unless data is explicitly deleted (e.g., via route removal or a data‑deletion request). When you need a file for records or audits, pair the feed with route/stop CSV exports that include timestamps and proof‑of‑delivery links. This applies to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Activity Feed · Export routes/stops
Yes. EasyRoutes lets you set up pre‑ and post‑delivery messages so customers know when to expect their order and where to track it. Enable templates like Ready for Delivery, Out for Delivery, and Driver is X Stops Away, customize the copy/branding, and preview with example data. Works for both Shopify-native orders and imported/manual stops.
Yes. Drivers can add photos and notes for attempts (e.g., no answer, inaccessible). You can make PoD mandatory for Attempted stops, so drivers document the situation before moving on. Attempt proof appears with the stop’s history for admins and, if enabled, on customer tracking pages/notifications to explain what happened.
See: Proof of Delivery
By integrating BigCommerce with EasyRoutes, you get a complete delivery management solution: multi-stop route optimization, real-time driver tracking, branded customer notifications, proof of delivery (photos, notes, signatures), and analytics. This turns BigCommerce from a storefront into a powerful logistics tool, helping you scale local delivery with confidence. See: BigCommerce Overview
Real-time GPS tracking is included with EasyRoutes Premium and Enterprise plans across both product lines (Shopify and Web). When enabled, you can follow driver position in real time, view a breadcrumb trail of recent movement, and see live stop status/ETAs on the route. Turn it on from EasyRoutes Settings → Driver settings, and ensure drivers grant background/precise location permissions in the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app (iOS/Android).
See: Real-Time Driver Location Tracking · Pricing & Plans FAQ
Yes. Configure a start location (e.g., your store, a local warehouse, or a driver's home base) and an end location (e.g., a depot, final stop, or loop back to the route's start location) on each route. These points are included in optimization and time estimates, so drivers see realistic drive times and customers receive accurate ETAs. You can set defaults in Route Options, then override per route as needed. For multi‑warehouse operations, create routes that begin near each inventory location to reduce deadhead driving. In both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web, you can adjust these locations after route creation and re‑optimize to update the sequence and times.
See: Start/End Locations
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. Packing slips are configurable so teams can show the fields drivers or packers need. In EasyRoutes Settings → Packing Slips & Labels you can: include a logo, select variables (customer details, order items, notes), set text sizes, and tweak headers and helper text. Print slips directly from any route.
Note: Some variables are only available when printing one slip per stop vs. one per item. Adjust your preference in the Print Preview if you need item-level detail.
The WebToffee “Order Export & Import for WooCommerce” plugin is one of the recommended tools for exporting WooCommerce orders to CSV. It lets you configure export settings like separating line items, which ensures EasyRoutes can correctly map customer and order details. Other export tools may work, but WebToffee is the most commonly documented and tested option.
EasyRoutes uses a flexible, seat‑based model. Choose a plan (Standard, Premium, Enterprise) and activate the number of driver seats you need; you’re billed only for active seats. You can adjust seats or change tiers at any time, and SMS messaging — if enabled — is charged per message segment. Both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web use the same pricing model.
See: Pricing · Pricing & Plans FAQ
By default, CSV imports are static snapshots. For real-time updates, use Zapier to push new BigCommerce orders into EasyRoutes automatically, or build a direct integration with the API. This ensures address changes, order edits, or cancellations in BigCommerce are reflected in your delivery routes without manual intervention. See: Zapier Integration
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.
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.
Pick any plan to start a 14-day trial with full feature access. Cancel during the trial to avoid charges; continue and your subscription begins at the end of day 14. Trials apply to any tier, and billing starts on your first post-trial cycle through Shopify (for EasyRoutes for Shopify) or Stripe (for EasyRoutes for Web). Seat changes you make later will be prorated within your billing cycle.
Yes. From EasyRoutes Settings → Driver settings, enable the options to let drivers reorder stops and re‑optimize the remaining sequence when plans change (traffic, customer requests). Re‑optimization recalculates the fastest order for what’s left, while respecting your route constraints (time windows, priorities). Admins can still edit routes from the web at any time.
See: How do I re‑optimize remaining stops? · Re‑ordering stops
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.
See: Balance routes · How many routes?
Enable live tracking from EasyRoutes Settings → Driver settings in either EasyRoutes for Shopify or EasyRoutes for Web. Next, ensure each driver signs in to the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app (iOS/Android) and grants Always/Allow all the time location access with Precise location enabled. Once routes are started by a driver, location pins appear on the route’s Tracking tab. If privacy is a concern, you can restrict tracking for internal use only, or adjust the route expiry window for driver access.
Yes. EasyRoutes supports WooCommerce order data in multiple ways. You can export orders from WooCommerce and import them into EasyRoutes via CSV, or you can set up automated workflows using Zapier or our API. This flexibility allows you to start with simple drag-and-drop imports and scale up to real-time order syncing as your delivery needs grow.
Yes. Enable automatic dispatch so newly created routes with a scheduled start time are assigned and sent to the chosen driver immediately — no extra clicks. Use this for recurring daily runs or integrations that create routes programmatically. You can still edit or un-dispatch a route before start time if plans change.
Driver seats control who can receive routes and use the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app. Assign a seat to any driver in your roster to activate them; deactivate a seat when a driver is seasonal or temporarily off the road. You’re billed only for the number of seats included at your plan at any time. Deactivating preserves the driver’s details and history so you can re‑activate them later without re‑inviting.
Seat management is available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web from the Drivers & Vehicles tab of the EasyRoutes navigation menu, or the Billing tab of EasyRoutes Settings for plan upgrades/downgrades.
Zapier integration is available whether you’re using EasyRoutes for Shopify or EasyRoutes for Web. Shopify users can extend native integrations with Zapier for additional automations, while non-Shopify users can rely on Zapier to connect EasyRoutes with their eCommerce, ERP, or POS platforms. This makes Zapier a universal automation layer for all EasyRoutes users. See: Platform Support
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.
Yes. In EasyRoutes for Shopify you decide whether to send messages using EasyRoutes’ customizable templates, or Shopify’s native notification flows. EasyRoutes writes tracking details to the Shopify fulfillment so the order status page and Shopify notifications include the correct link. If you enable both systems, review your templates to prevent duplicate emails/SMS.
Configuration lives in EasyRoutes notification settings; Shopify templates are managed in your Shopify admin.
