Can I use Workflows with Wix orders?

Yes. Once your Wix orders are inside EasyRoutes, you can use them in Workflows to automate common delivery tasks. For example, you could create a Workflow that builds a new delivery route every afternoon using all Wix orders tagged as “Local Delivery” and automatically dispatches them to drivers. This helps you scale delivery operations with minimal manual effort. See: EasyRoutes Workflows

Can I include proof in Shopify notifications?

Yes. If you use Shopify’s native notifications, you can insert proof image URLs into the Delivered or Missed Delivery templates so customers see photo links in those emails. This is optional — EasyRoutes notifications can also include tracking links that show PoD on the hosted tracking page. Choose the path that best matches your communication setup.

See: Integrating PoD with Shopify Emails · Delivery Notifications

How do I manage my 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 I track more than one route simultaneously?

Yes. When you create multiple routes together, EasyRoutes groups them so you can monitor all active drivers in a single view. The Route Group page shows color‑coded pins, per‑route progress, and live stop updates. Use this view to coordinate dispatch, answer customer inquiries, and rebalance work if needed by moving stops between routes.

See: Real-Time Driver Location Tracking · Route Groups

Can I send tracking links via SMS?

Yes. Enable SMS in EasyRoutes Settings → Customer notifications and include the tracking URL in templates such as Ready for Delivery, Out for Delivery, Driver is X Stops Away, Delivered, and Missed Delivery. SMS is supported in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web on Premium/Enterprise plans, and is billed per message segment by country. Use the preview tool to verify variables before sending.

See: Delivery Notifications – SMS · EasyRoutes SMS Pricing

What can I do with the API?

The EasyRoutes API lets you automate your delivery workflow end‑to‑end: import orders/stops from external systems, create routes with your preferred options, assign drivers or vehicles, dispatch routes, and update stop or route status as deliveries progress. You can also read back route/stops for reporting and pair the API with webhooks to keep other systems synchronized in real time. Capabilities are consistent across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: EasyRoutes Routes API · Webhooks & Zapier

Can drivers upload proof from their phone gallery?

Yes. In addition to taking photos in‑app, drivers can attach images from the phone’s gallery when you allow this option. It’s especially useful when a photo was captured by the camera app while offline; the driver adds it later, and EasyRoutes syncs the proof and timestamps once connectivity returns.

See: Upload from device gallery

Does EasyRoutes support SMS delivery notifications?

Yes. On Premium/Enterprise plans, you can send SMS notifications for key delivery events (e.g., Ready for Delivery, Out for Delivery, Driver is X stops away, Delivered, Missed Delivery, and optionally Scheduled/Rescheduled). Messages are billed per segment based on the recipient’s country. Customize content and variables in the template editor, and preview with example data before enabling. Pair SMS with email and customer tracking links for full visibility.

See: SMS Pricing · Delivery Notifications – Email & SMS

Do Workflows work with both Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web?

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

Can I see completed vs. missed deliveries?

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

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?

Does EasyRoutes support different vehicle types or capacities when optimizing?

Yes. EasyRoutes features customizable Vehicle Profiles for different vehicle types, as well as route capacities (e.g., item or weight limits) that can be assigned to a route so our route optimizer respects those limits. Route‑level capacity controls — such as Max items per route and Max weight per route — to prevent overloading a vehicle. Pair capacity settings with other constraints (including custom start/end locations, stop time intervals, and delivery time windows) and re‑optimize to reflect changes. For commercial navigation needs, export routes to GPX and load them onto Garmin devices that support truck‑aware routing.

See: Vehicle Profiles · Max items/weight per route · Commercial vehicles & GPX Export

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 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

Can I move orders between routes?

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.

See: How do I move orders to another route?

Can I send notifications for imported or manual stops?

Yes. Manual and imported stops can send the same email/SMS notifications as Shopify orders once configured. In EasyRoutes Settings → Customer notifications, enable templates under the Imported Orders sections and ensure each stop includes an email address and or phone number. Use tracking links to provide status and proof of delivery even when the source isn’t Shopify.

See: Delivery Notifications – Email & SMS

Will customers see proof of delivery along with live tracking?

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.

See: Proof of Delivery · Customizable Order Tracking Pages

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

How often is analytics data updated?

Analytics reflects new data shortly after drivers complete or update stops in the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app. Because updates depend on device connectivity and permissions, you may see a brief delay if a driver is offline; once the device reconnects, metrics catch up automatically. For the most granular timeline, open the route and review the Activity Feed, which lists each delivery event as it occurred.

This live‑update behaviour applies to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. If numbers look stale, refresh the page or adjust your date/driver filters and try again.

See: Delivery Analytics · Activity Feed

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?

Does EasyRoutes integrate with Wix?

Yes. EasyRoutes integrates with Wix through multiple methods: you can export orders from Wix to a CSV and import them into EasyRoutes, or use Zapier and our API for automated, real-time workflows. This flexibility means businesses can start quickly with spreadsheet imports and later upgrade to automated integrations as they scale. See: EasyRoutes for Wix

Can I export activity feed data?

The Activity Feed itself isn’t exported as a single file, but you can export route and stop data that reflect the same underlying events. From the Routes page, export a date range (or open a specific route) to download CSVs containing stop details, completion timestamps, driver info, and links to proof of delivery. Use the feed to identify the timeframe or routes you need, then export those records directly.

See: How do I export routes/stops? · Activity Feed

Can EasyRoutes send delivery notifications for Squarespace orders?

Yes. Once imported, Squarespace orders behave like any other EasyRoutes order. Customers can receive branded delivery notifications via email or SMS, including live tracking links that show where their driver is in real time. This helps reduce “Where’s my order?” calls and improves customer satisfaction. See: Notifications & Tracking

Is Zapier available for both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web?

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

Does EasyRoutes support vehicle capacity limits?

Yes. When optimizing, set per‑route limits (max items/weight) so loads fit the assigned vehicle. You can also create Vehicle Profiles for an additional indicator for routes that have specific restrictions by vehicle, and enable route constraints (e.g., avoid tolls or U‑turns), and reuse them across routes. These settings help prevent overloads and keep route planning aligned with your real fleet.

See: Creating routes by vehicle capacity · Vehicle Profiles · Max items per route

Can I plan pickup routes?

Yes. EasyRoutes supports pickups alongside deliveries in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. Add pickup stops the same way as deliveries (Shopify orders, CSV/API imports, or manual stops). Set the pickup location (store/warehouse/customer) and, if needed, add instructions or required items to the stop notes.

Pickups appear in the route in sequence with other stops, on printed documents, and in the driver app. If only pickups are needed, create a pickup‑only route and dispatch to the driver as usual.
