How do I create multiple routes?
EasyRoutes allows you to select any number of orders and split them into as many routes as you need. Split orders and auto-assign them to different active drivers, balance item count or item weight between routes, or ensure routes are as balanced as possible in just a few clicks.

EasyRoutes for Shopify
To open the configuration panel for creating multiple routes, from the Orders page, click the "Routes to create" Route Option listed below the map:
Multiple Routes - Unassigned Drivers:
To generate more than one route at a time without having to assign or dispatch them, use the arrow buttons to increase or decrease the number of routes to create (up to 25 at once). By default, routes created at the same time will have the same Route Options, which can be configured below.
Optional: From the "Route settings" section, select the "Customize settings for individual routes" setting to enable individual Route Options tabs for each route below:
Click Save after making any necessary changes to return to the Orders page and begin adding orders to your new routes.
Multiple Routes - Minimize Drivers:
Selecting "Create the minimal number of routes needed to deliver" will generate the minimum number of routes possible, while still taking into account any duration, stop count, item count, or weight limits applied via other Route Options. Ensure at least one of Max route duration, Max stops per route, and/or Max items per route is enabled in order to properly calculate any limits of a planned route.
