From Setup to Delivery—All the Answers

Can I dispatch routes directly to a driver?

Yes. Assign a driver and dispatch so the route appears in the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver mobile app, and a push notification is sent.

See: Dispatching Routes

What are driver seats and how do they work?

Driver seats are active licenses you assign to drivers. You pay only for active seats and can toggle seats on/off anytime without deleting the driver profile.

See: Managing Driver Seats

How do I add a driver to EasyRoutes?

Invite drivers from the Drivers & Vehicles tab of your EasyRoutes navigation menu. Enter a driver's phone number and they’ll receive a link to install and sign in to the app.

See: Adding a Driver

Are there API rate limits?

Yes. Rate limits protect platform reliability. If you plan high‑volume integrations, contact support to discuss throughput and best practices (batching, webhooks).

See: API Getting Started

Can I test the API in a sandbox environment?

We recommend using a test store or non‑production data for integration testing — e.g., draft orders or manual stops with your own contacts — before pushing to production.

See: API Getting Started

Can the API update route status?

Yes. The API can update stops and routes (e.g., mark delivered/attempted, assign/dispatch, or edit route details), which can trigger notifications if enabled.

See: API Getting Started · Routes API

How do I authenticate API requests?

Use an access token generated from your EasyRoutes account and include it with each request per the Getting Started guide.

See: API Getting Started

Can I use the API to import orders from other platforms?

Yes. Use the Routes API to import stops (orders) from any system that can send the required fields, then create or update routes with those stops.

See: API Import

Do I need a Premium plan to use the API?

Yes. API and webhooks are available on Premium and Enterprise plans.

See: API Guide · Pricing & Plans

Can I connect EasyRoutes to Zapier?

Yes. Send EasyRoutes webhook events into Zapier and build no‑code workflows (e.g., update Sheets, post to Slack, send emails).
