How is proof of delivery captured when no one is present to receive the order?

When no one is available, the driver documents the drop instead of collecting a signature: up to four photos of where the order was left, an optional note (e.g., "left behind the side gate"), and the GPS location and timestamp captured automatically. All of it is saved to the stop's proof-of-delivery record.

You can make a photo and/or note mandatory to mark the stop delivered, and display these items on the customer's tracking page for confidence. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
