Route orders from Local Line, Barn2Door, GrazeCart and Local Food Marketplace
Local Line, Barn2Door, Local Food Marketplace and GrazeCart are built for selling and taking orders, not for planning delivery routes. Export a day's orders as a CSV, import it into Porch Routes with the matching column layout, fix any address Porch Routes couldn't place, and build the route — the same steps regardless of which platform the file came from.

Why farm-platform storefronts hand off routing
Local Line, Barn2Door, Local Food Marketplace and GrazeCart are built for the storefront side of a farm or food hub: listing products, taking orders, collecting payment, printing pack lists. None of them plans a multi-stop route, dispatches a driver, or texts a customer when their box is on the way — that's a different problem, and it's the one Porch Routes solves. Selling and packing stay in the platform your customers already order from; routing, drivers and delivery texts move to Porch Routes once a day's orders are exported.
The column layouts Porch Routes already knows
Pick your platform on the import screen and Porch Routes pre-fills the column mapping for the export you already have:
| Platform | Export to choose | What Porch Routes reads from it |
|---|---|---|
| Local Line | Orders → select orders → Export → Delivery Routing export | Customer name, address, phone, email, order number, delivery date and window, items, delivery notes, package codes |
| Barn2Door | Orders → Pack list (CSV) for the delivery day | Customer name, address (with latitude and longitude when the pack list has them), phone, email, delivery date, order notes, items |
| Local Food Marketplace | Reports → Orders (delivery) → Export CSV, or the Routific export | Customer name, address, delivery date, phone, email, delivery instructions, items |
| GrazeCart | Orders → filter → Export (CSV) | Customer name, address, phone, email, order ID, fulfillment date, order notes, items, weight |
Selling on Shopify or Square Online instead? Porch Routes also knows their orders-export layouts, or, for Shopify, a live connector that skips the CSV step entirely.
Import the day's orders
Export the day's orders
From your platform, export the orders due for delivery as a CSV — the table above has the export to choose for Local Line, Barn2Door, Local Food Marketplace and GrazeCart.
Open Import CSV
In Porch Routes, open Orders for the day and choose “Import CSV” — the Import orders sheet opens. Choose the file, or paste rows; files up to 5 MB.
Match your columns
On the Match your columns step, use “Start from” to pick your platform. Porch Routes pre-fills the mapping and previews the first orders exactly as they'd import. Pick a day for rows with no date, then set anything left unmatched by hand.
Fix anything flagged
Rows with a problem come first in the results, each with the reason and a way to fix it. An address Porch Routes couldn't place shows “Check address”, so you can search for it or drop a pin before the route is built.
Build the route
Once the day's orders are in, build routes the same way as any other day — the same vehicle, temperature and time-window rules apply no matter where an order came from.
If your platform isn't listed, or a column lands wrong
Choose “My own columns” instead of a preset, and match each field by hand from a dropdown of your file's own headers — the same screen every layout uses. Save the result with a name and it's offered next time, so a weekly export only needs matching once. Re-uploading never doubles deliveries: rows update the orders they imported before, and the same file inside 24 hours returns that earlier import unless you choose to import it again.
What happens after the import
Imported orders sit with every other open order for their delivery date, ready to be built into a route the same way as an order added by hand, sent through the API, or synced from a store connector — the same solver, the same vehicle and temperature rules, the same driver app and the same customer texts once the route is dispatched.
Questions
Do I need to install anything in Local Line, Barn2Door, GrazeCart or Local Food Marketplace?
No. Export the CSV the way you already can, then import it into Porch Routes — nothing changes on the platform side.
What if I sell on a platform other than these four?
Square Online and Shopify's own orders export also have a ready-made layout, and Shopify sellers can use a live connector instead of a CSV. Any other spreadsheet works with My own columns, matched once and saved for next time.
How exact are these column layouts?
All four are a best-effort match built from each platform's own field names and the routing tools their exports already feed — none of the four publishes its export's exact header row. Check the preview before you build; a misread column is a one-time fix, not a repeat problem, once you save your own layout.
What happens to an address Porch Routes can't find?
It's flagged for review rather than guessed. Open “Check address” to search for the right one or drop a pin on the map before the route is built.
Does importing the same file twice create duplicate deliveries?
No. Re-uploading updates the orders it imported before, and the same file inside 24 hours returns that same import unless you choose to import it again.
