What 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 track my drivers in real-time?

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.

See: Real‑Time Driver Location Tracking

What are the main benefits of using EasyRoutes with WooCommerce?

By connecting WooCommerce to EasyRoutes, you unlock the full delivery management suite: optimized multi-stop routes, live driver tracking, branded notifications, proof of delivery (photos, notes, signatures), and analytics dashboards. This transforms WooCommerce from a simple order-taking tool into a complete last-mile delivery platform. Whether you’re handling 10 deliveries a week or 1,000, EasyRoutes scales with your business and improves customer satisfaction.

Can I balance stops evenly across multiple routes?

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?

Can I combine Wix orders with other platform orders in EasyRoutes?

Yes. EasyRoutes is designed to unify multi-platform delivery operations. You can import Wix orders and combine them with orders from Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or other sources. All orders appear in one dashboard, so you can generate optimized multi-stop routes across platforms.

See: EasyRoutes for Wix

What Wix export settings should I use?

When exporting orders from Wix, ensure your CSV file contains one row per order line item so EasyRoutes can map details like product name and quantity correctly. Map columns such as name, street address, and phone number to the right EasyRoutes fields during import. This ensures clean, accurate order data for route creation.

See: Wix Import Guide

Do packing slips and labels include scannable QR codes or barcodes?

Yes. You can add an EasyRoutes-native QR code to your packing slips and packing labels from Settings > Packing Slips & Labels by enabling the Show QR code option and setting its position. Drivers can then scan these codes with the Delivery Driver app to confirm the right order at the right stop, and you can optionally require a successful scan before a stop is marked Delivered or Attempted. Supported in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Barcode scanning

How does EasyRoutes work with orders without an address?

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.

See: My order does not have a shipping address—how do I add one?

Can I schedule routes early and share ETAs in advance?

Yes. Set a scheduled start date and time when creating or editing a route. EasyRoutes will use that schedule — plus stop time intervals and any delivery time windows — to calculate ETAs for every stop. Customers can receive their individual ETAs via branded tracking pages and optional email/SMS notifications. If plans change, simply edit the route's schedule, re‑optimize the route, and ETAs will update automatically.

See: Route Scheduling & ETAs · Tracking & notifications

What are the main benefits of using EasyRoutes with Squarespace?

By connecting Squarespace to EasyRoutes, you get access to a full delivery management toolkit: optimized multi-stop routes, real-time driver tracking, branded notifications, proof of delivery (photos, notes, signatures), and delivery analytics. This transforms Squarespace from just an eCommerce storefront into a complete last-mile logistics solution.

See: Squarespace Overview

How do Workflows interact with EasyRoutes notifications and dispatching?

Workflows are closely integrated with EasyRoutes’ existing notification and dispatch systems. This means you can set up a Workflow that not only creates a route but also automatically assigns it to a driver and triggers delivery notifications to customers at the right moments. For example, you could design a Workflow that dispatches a route to a driver as soon as it’s created, ensuring they receive a push notification in the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app. As soon as the driver starts their route, EasyRoutes can send customers an email or SMS letting them know their delivery is on the way. This seamless integration ensures your team doesn’t need to remember to click multiple buttons — communication and route management just happen automatically.

See: Workflow Integrations

How does barcode scanning work in EasyRoutes?

EasyRoutes turns your driver’s phone camera into a scanner — no extra hardware needed. Drivers scan a barcode or QR code from the Proof of Delivery section, or from a Scanner-input Driver Task, before completing a stop. Matching codes are confirmed in green; non-matching codes appear in yellow and can be flagged back to the route planner. Every scan is stored with the stop’s proof of delivery for live or later review. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Barcode scanning · Scanning on the mobile app

Can I manage cash-on-delivery orders?

Yes. Mark COD orders and include collection instructions in stop notes. Drivers can record payment received using notes and attach custom notes containing any COD amounts collected. Back at the office, export routes/stops to reconcile COD activity. This workflow is supported across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Cash on Delivery

Will EasyRoutes add tracking links to my Shopify orders?

Yes. Creating a fulfillment from EasyRoutes writes the EasyRoutes tracking number and URL to the Shopify order, so customers and support teams can track delivery progress. The link also appears in Shopify’s order status page and, when enabled, in Shopify or EasyRoutes notification emails/SMS. Tracking remains accessible even after routes are archived.

See: Customizable order tracking pages and links

Can I connect EasyRoutes to Zapier?

Yes. Use EasyRoutes webhooks as Zap triggers to connect delivery events to apps like Google Sheets, Slack, Gmail, Twilio, HubSpot, and more. Common automations include updating a shared delivery log, notifying customer service when an attempt fails, or sending a custom message when proof of delivery posts. Zapier is supported for both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Integrate EasyRoutes Webhooks with Zapier

How does EasyRoutes handle orders with no delivery date or time?

Orders without a delivery date or time window are still fully routable — EasyRoutes simply optimizes them for the shortest, most efficient path instead of constraining them to a window. You can mix dated and undated orders on the same route: those with windows are sequenced to honor them, while the rest fill the gaps. Use Order Filters to include or exclude undated orders, and add a window manually to any stop when you need one. This applies to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Time Windows · Order Filters

Can I combine Squarespace orders with orders from other platforms?

Yes. EasyRoutes allows you to centralize multi-platform order management. You can import Squarespace orders via CSV or Zapier while also syncing Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or Wix orders into the same account. This lets you plan optimized delivery routes that combine orders from different sales channels.

See: Squarespace Integration

Can I import delivery zones via KML file?

Yes. In Settings > Delivery Zones, click the dropdown arrow on the Create zone button and choose Import KML, then drag in your .KML file. Zone names from the file apply automatically, and you can rename them or set a route colour before saving. Boundaries drawn in tools like Google Earth work well; KMZ or GeoJSON files should be converted to .KML first. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Delivery Zones

Can the API update route status?

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.

See: API Getting Started Guide · EasyRoutes Routes API

Can I import orders 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

Do I need coding skills to connect BigCommerce with EasyRoutes?

You don’t need to code to connect BigCommerce with EasyRoutes. Zapier provides an easy no-code path to automate order syncing. For teams that need more complex, real-time integrations, the EasyRoutes API allows developers to customize imports, fulfillments, and route triggers. This gives you flexibility to choose between no-code and developer-driven solutions.

See: API Getting Started

Can I require a successful scan before a stop can be completed?

Yes. When you configure a Scanner-input Driver Task, tick the Delivered and/or Attempted checkboxes to make a successful scan mandatory before that status can be applied. You can also require a Barcode Scan as proof of delivery from Settings > Driver Settings. Either way, drivers can’t mark the stop complete until the scan is captured. Available on Premium and Enterprise plans, in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Driver tasks · Driver settings

Can I assign multiple drivers to a single route?

No — routes are single‑driver to keep tracking, ETAs, and proof‑of‑delivery accurate. If two or more drivers are needed, split the stops into multiple routes (or create a new route for leftovers) and dispatch each separately. You can also publish a route without assigning a driver, and share a self‑assign link so someone from your pool can claim it when ready.

See: How driver assignment works

Can I schedule or email recurring analytics reports?

Analytics reports are viewed in the dashboard and exported on demand — open any breakdown and use Export to copy the data or download a CSV. There isn’t a built-in scheduler that emails recurring reports automatically. If you need that, you can export on a cadence yourself, or use the EasyRoutes API and webhooks (with a tool like Zapier) to pull delivery data into your own reporting. Applies to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Analytics

Can I plan for two-person or extended-handling stops?

For extended-handling stops, increase the Time per stop or the individual stop's service time so ETAs and Max route duration account for the extra work. For two-person deliveries, note that a route is assigned to a single driver account, so you'd staff that route's vehicle with a crew operationally rather than assigning two driver logins to one route.

Driver Tasks can capture crew-specific steps at the stop. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
