Can Zapier notify staff when a stop is complete?

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

Can EasyRoutes sync BigCommerce orders automatically?

Manual CSV imports work well for smaller batches, but to achieve automatic syncing, you can use Zapier or the EasyRoutes API. For example, create a Zap that triggers whenever a new BigCommerce order is placed and sends it directly to EasyRoutes. Or, for more advanced use cases, use the API to integrate real-time order creation and updates.

See: Zapier Integration

Can I move orders from one route to another?

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?

Does EasyRoutes support time windows for deliveries?

Yes. Time windows are supported in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. Add a window directly to a stop, or pull windows from checkout tools/date pickers (e.g., Zapiet, Buunto, and other supported third‑party apps). This way, our route optimizer sequences stops to respect open/close times while considering start/end locations, stop times, and other limits. If windows create conflicts that exceed constraints (e.g., max duration), split stops into additional routes or relax limits, then re‑optimize. ETAs displayed to drivers and customers reflect these windows so deliveries align with customer preferences as closely as possible.

See: Time Windows · Supported third‑party apps

Can I balance stops evenly across several 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?

How does EasyRoutes optimize my routes?

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

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.

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/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

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 track driver performance?

Yes. Use Delivery Analytics to review outcomes by driver — completed vs. missed stops, average delivery time, and overall success rate — over a selected period. Filter to focus on a single driver or compare across the team. For detailed investigations, open routes to see timestamps and proof of delivery, or export results for use in external tools.

See: Delivery Analytics

What support options are available?

We offer a self‑serve Help Center with step‑by‑step guides and videos, plus email support from our team during business hours (ET). Most questions are resolved the same business day. Accounts on the Enterprise plan receive prioritized responses and onboarding help. For incident updates, check our public status page; for billing and plan questions, see the pricing page.

See: Help Center · EasyRoutes Pricing

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 change label sizes?

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.

  • If text runs long, try a larger font scale or different label size.
  • If alignment is off, ensure paper size matches and adjust browser/driver scale.
  • You can print to PDF first to verify layout before sending to the printer.

See: How do I print packing labels?

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

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

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

How are delivery date and time zones handled in EasyRoutes?

Time windows are interpreted in the time zone of each stop's delivery address, so a window set by your date picker is honored locally even when a route crosses time zone boundaries (for example, travelling from Chicago toward Indianapolis). Your Orders page and route columns display windows in your own local time, and stops in a different zone are annotated as such. This behavior is the same in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Time Windows

What is EasyRoutes and who is it for?

EasyRoutes combines route planning, driver dispatch, live tracking, and proof of delivery in one system. Teams select orders (from Shopify or external sources), create optimized routes with start/end locations and options (time windows, service times), then dispatch to the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app.

Admins monitor routes in the browser, view ETAs and driver location (Premium/Enterprise), and share branded tracking pages and notifications with customers. Proof of delivery items — photos, eSignature, notes — are captured in the field and visible on the stop record. EasyRoutes is designed for SMBs and delivery fleets of any size across industries.

See: Getting Started with EasyRoutes

What export settings should I use in Squarespace?

When exporting orders from Squarespace, ensure you only include “Pending” orders from the fulfillment filter. This ensures you’re working with unfulfilled deliveries that still need to be routed. If only certain products require delivery, you can filter by “Specific product” during export. This gives you precise control over which orders are included in your EasyRoutes import.

See: Squarespace Import Guide

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

Are Workflows included in all EasyRoutes plans, or only Premium?

Workflows are available on EasyRoutes Premium and Enterprise plans. These plans are designed for businesses that need more advanced tools to handle larger delivery volumes and complex processes. On Premium and Enterprise, you not only get access to Workflows, but also other advanced features like custom notifications, vehicle profiles, real-time driver tracking, and delivery analytics.

If you’re running a small business with only a few deliveries per week, you may be fine with a Standard plan. But if your business is scaling or you want to automate as much as possible, upgrading to Premium ensures you can take advantage of Workflows. This investment pays off quickly by saving your team time, reducing manual work, and improving consistency across your delivery operations.

See: EasyRoutes Pricing Plans

Do I need coding skills to use Workflows?

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

Can proof of delivery be exported for records?

Yes. While the PoD gallery itself isn’t a single file download, route/stop exports include links to each proof item plus completion timestamps and driver details — suitable for audits, customer service, or further analysis with external tools. Use Analytics for high‑level performance metrics and the Activity Feed to review the exact sequence of events.

See: Exporting proof of delivery · How do I export routes/stops?

What are Vehicle Profiles and how do I set them up?

Vehicle Profiles let you save details about the vehicles you deliver with — type, make, model, and fuel economy. Create them from the Drivers & Vehicles area, then assign a profile to a route (or set one as a Route Option so it applies to new routes). Once assigned, you can track route metrics per vehicle, filter Analytics by vehicle, and the assigned vehicle shows in the driver app. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Vehicle Profiles

Do I need coding skills to set up Zapier with EasyRoutes?

Zapier is designed to be used without coding. To integrate EasyRoutes, you typically select “Webhooks by Zapier” as a trigger, paste a webhook URL into EasyRoutes, and then connect it to actions like sending an email or updating a spreadsheet. All steps are handled through a simple, click-based interface. This makes automation accessible to any team member, not just developers.
