How do I filter orders by delivery date on EasyRoutes?

EasyRoutes can show the delivery date collected via the most popular date scheduling apps in the Shopify App Store.  Review our latest list of supported apps here.

If supported, the Delivery Date filter available under More Filters can be used for filtering by delivery dates. You may want to enable the delivery date column to check that what dates are collected. Review the instructions below on how to do so. Otherwise, you may need to filter using order tags and attributes.

Enable the Delivery Date and Time Window columns in your Settings for the Orders page

You can also view the delivery date as a column in your orders page. Here are instructions on how to set this up:

1. Check Delivery Date in your EasyRoutes Settings under General > Orders page options > Columns.

Do you also provide a delivery time window? EasyRoutes will pull most time windows collected in your Shopify order or tags.

2. Check Time Window in your EasyRoutes Settings under General > Orders page options > Columns.

Routes planned with a scheduled delivery date/time will also account for the order's collected time window that you see in your Time Window column.

Appendix: Delivery Date Format

Generally, you can review our latest list of supported apps here and dates collected via these apps will show up as a delivery date in EasyRoutes. We support a wide array of formatted dates generated by these apps.

EasyRoutes automatically detects dates on Shopify orders with the following order attributes:

• Delivery Date
• Delivery-Date
• Order Due Date
• Selected Date
• Supertime Delivery Date

If you want to add this information directly, use one of the attributes with a name listed above.

As for the value itself, we recommend using the following universal date format, even though we will attempt to use other supported date formats:

Here is a Shopify app that you can use for adding attributes to draft or existing orders. This app also allows you to save attribute names as presets for future use .You can also consider using a workflow automation app like Mesa for automatically adding date information into order attributes.

Is your chosen date scheduling app not currently supported and it doesn't make sense to write this date information into your order directly via the above? Review Option 2 below.

Appendix: Filtering Using Order Tags and Attributes

We support filtering orders by tags and attributes, so depending on your app, you can filter orders tagged this way or use information stored from third-party applications in your order by turning your attributes settings on. 

You can find order details the Additional Details or Tags section of an individual order on your Shopify Admin. You can enable Order Attributes or Order Tags in your EasyRoutes settings and you can use this information for planning or to show this to your driver directly.

To view tags and attributes as columns for your orders, check these fields in your EasyRoutes Settings under General > Orders page options > Columns.

Note: if you are collecting delivery dates only via an item's properties, we also integrate with apps that help you collect additional information from your product items under product properties like Infinite Options. You can view and use this information for planning by checking "Item Properties" in your settings.
