Deliveries for an ecommerce startup with no warehouses

Directions API
1

Our drives will have to go to multiple storefronts to retrieve packages before going to delivery the client.

I do not know how to go about this.

I need to tell the API that my driver is at a particular position so he goes to the best storefront first. Then i need to tell the API that we need to do the routing for the first n point that are storefronts before making the delivery.

Should i just not include the client address and use the delivery locations only?

I can do that. But how do i tell the system the position of the driver at this instance and have the API take that into consideration.

Thanks.

I’m not quite sure I understand your use case, but can’t you use “shipments”?

I will look into it thanks. What about the current location of the driver?

You can enter the current location of the driver in the “start_address” of the vehicle.
