Does EasyRoutes have any pre-built Zapier templates?

Zapier includes ready-to-use templates to help you get started quickly. Examples include sending Gmail alerts when a stop is delivered, creating rows in Google Sheets when a route updates, or updating project management tools like Trello with delivery status. These templates save setup time and let you deploy automations in just a few clicks.

See: EasyRoutes Zapier Templates

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?

How do I import WooCommerce orders into EasyRoutes?

Importing WooCommerce orders is straightforward. Using a plugin like WebToffee, you can export orders from your WooCommerce dashboard in CSV format. Once exported, you simply drag and drop the CSV file into EasyRoutes. The system will map fields like customer name, address, and quantity automatically, and you can confirm or adjust mappings before creating optimized delivery routes. This makes it easy to bring WooCommerce data into your delivery workflow.

See: WooCommerce Import Guide

What permissions do drivers need to enable tracking?

For reliable live tracking, drivers should: (1) sign in to EasyRoutes Delivery Driver; (2) allow Always/Allow all the time location access; (3) enable Precise location; and (4) keep battery optimization from restricting the app (disable aggressive battery saver if needed). These settings apply on both iOS and Android and can be checked from device Settings.

See: Real-Time Driver Location Tracking · Troubleshooting mobile issues

Does EasyRoutes require internet to run routes?

Admins need an internet connection to create, edit, and dispatch routes. The EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app supports low‑connectivity situations: if a driver opens the route while online, stop data is cached locally so they can navigate, update status, and capture proof of delivery offline. The app queues events and syncs them to EasyRoutes once the device reconnects.

See: Can I use EasyRoutes without a connection?

Can I limit or balance the number of orders per delivery time slot?

Capping how many orders a customer can book into a given slot is handled by your date picker app at checkout (for example, Pickeasy's order limits), not by EasyRoutes. On the planning side, EasyRoutes helps you balance the resulting workload: filter orders by delivery date and time window, then split them across multiple routes or drivers, and the optimizer sequences each route to respect its windows. Together they keep slots controlled and routes balanced. This applies to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

What can I do with EasyRoutes’ Zapier integration?

Zapier expands EasyRoutes by letting you connect with thousands of popular apps like Google Sheets, Slack, Gmail, and CRMs. You can set up automated workflows such as importing new orders into EasyRoutes, sending delivery updates to your team via Slack, or logging route data into spreadsheets for reporting. This no-code integration makes it easy to streamline operations without custom development.

See: EasyRoutes Zapier Integrations

How is real-time driver location shown to customers?

Customer tracking pages can display an anonymized, live driver pin so recipients can see the driver’s progress as delivery approaches. Enable the option in EasyRoutes Settings → Order tracking, and use delivery notifications (email/SMS) to send tracking links automatically. When live location is unavailable (e.g., permissions off), the page still shows status updates and ETAs based on route progress.

See: Real-Time Driver Location Tracking · Customizable Order Tracking Pages

Can EasyRoutes sync WooCommerce orders automatically?

While CSV imports are manual, you can automate order import with Zapier or the EasyRoutes API. For example, you can use a Zap to trigger whenever a new WooCommerce order is placed, automatically sending it to EasyRoutes for routing. With the API, developers can build custom real-time integrations for order imports and updates. This ensures your delivery operations stay in sync without requiring manual exports.

See: Zapier Integration Guide

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

Are there any differences in the customer experience between products?

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

Does the Activity Feed capture IP address and device info?

Yes, when available. Expanding an Activity Feed entry and opening its details shows who initiated the event — a user’s email address (or Shopify user ID) or a driver’s name — along with the IP address and device details captured for that action. This makes the feed useful for tracing changes and for compliance review. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Activity Feed

How do I import Xero invoices into EasyRoutes?

From your Xero dashboard, go to the Business tab → Invoices, then use the Export button to download a CSV of the invoices you want to deliver. In EasyRoutes, click “Import new CSV” and upload the file. The system maps fields such as contact name, address, invoice number, and product details to create delivery-ready routes.

See: Xero Import Guide

Do I need coding skills to connect Squarespace with EasyRoutes?

You don’t need to be technical to connect Squarespace with EasyRoutes. Using Zapier, you can build “if-this-then-that” workflows to automatically send Squarespace orders to EasyRoutes for route planning. For businesses that want more advanced automation, the EasyRoutes API lets developers build custom integrations and connect with other business systems. This gives you both a no-code and pro-code path to integration.

See: API Getting Started

How are driver seats billed?

EasyRoutes pricing combines your plan tier with the number of driver seats in your current plan. Keep any number of drivers in your roster, then activate only the seats you need for your current delivery schedule. If demand spikes, add seats for a few days and deactivate later — billing automatically prorates so you pay for just the days your account contained additional seats. Seat management works the same on Shopify and Web.

See: Manage active driver seats · How prorated billing works

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 still use Shopify's built‑in delivery notifications?

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.

See: Delivery Notifications – Email & SMS

Can I reprint packing slips or labels?

Yes. To reprint, open the route, click Print, and enable Packing slips and/or Packing labels. You can send the batch to a printer again or save a fresh PDF. Reprinting uses your current template settings — if you change variables or sizes in Settings → Packing Slips & Labels, the new output will reflect those changes.

If the route has been archived from your EasyRoutes account, restore it before printing. This reprint flow works the same in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Printing delivery routes

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

Does EasyRoutes work with Shopify’s built-in notifications?

Yes. In EasyRoutes for Shopify you can choose between EasyRoutes’ customizable notifications and Shopify’s built‑in notifications. When using Shopify templates, EasyRoutes maps delivery events (e.g., Out for Delivery, Delivered; Missed Delivery for Local Delivery) to Shopify’s corresponding notifications and attaches the tracking link on fulfillment. To prevent double‑sending, review Shopify’s notification settings and disable overlapping templates when EasyRoutes emails/SMS are enabled.

See: Delivery Notifications – Email & SMS

Does the app send push notifications for new routes?

Yes. As assigned routes are dispatched from EasyRoutes, drivers get a push notification that opens the route in the app. If a driver doesn’t see alerts, confirm notification permission is enabled and the driver is added to your store with the correct phone number. Drivers can also pull‑to‑refresh their route list in the app to fetch new routes available to them.

See: How do I dispatch/share routes? · Troubleshooting push notification permissions

Can I export my routes for reporting or analysis?

Yes. From the Routes page or an individual route view, export to CSV for all relevant route data points. Exports include stop details, timestamps, driver assignments, and URLs to related proof of delivery (photos/signature/notes). Use these files for accounting, customer service follow‑up, or analysis in spreadsheets or external tools. Exports are supported in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

See: How do I export routes/stops?

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

Can Zapier integrate EasyRoutes with my CRM or ERP?

Zapier’s app directory includes thousands of CRMs, ERPs, and productivity tools. With EasyRoutes as the trigger, you can automatically update customer records in HubSpot when a delivery is completed, or sync invoice statuses in NetSuite when routes are dispatched. This ensures delivery data flows into the rest of your business systems seamlessly.

See: Zapier App Directory

Can I set specific start or end locations for my routes?

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

Can I hide driver location from customers?

Yes. Real‑time tracking is configurable. You can enable tracking for dispatcher visibility while keeping customer pages static, or allow a live pin to appear only as the driver approaches (configurable from 1 to 10 stops away). This setting is available on Premium/Enterprise plans across both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
