Stop sending supplier orders manually
Many ecommerce teams still process dropshipping orders by manually exporting order data, creating purchase orders, emailing suppliers or uploading order files to supplier portals. This may work when order volumes are low, but it quickly becomes time-consuming, repetitive and difficult to manage as your store grows.
Every manual step creates a risk of delays and mistakes. An order can be sent to the wrong supplier, product data can be copied incorrectly, shipping details can be missed, or an order file can be uploaded too late. These small errors can lead to slower fulfillment, unhappy customers and extra support work for your team.
Manual order processing also takes valuable time away from the work that actually helps your business grow. Instead of focusing on sales, customer experience, supplier relationships or new products, your team spends time checking orders, copying data and following up with suppliers.
Dropday helps ecommerce stores automate this process. When a customer places an order, Dropday can turn that order into a structured supplier order and make it available in the required EDI format, such as EDIFACT, X12 or a custom supplier-specific format. This helps you save time, reduce manual work, prevent errors and create a more scalable dropshipping operation.
With automated EDI order processing, your team can handle more orders without adding more operational workload.
How EDI order automation works in Dropday
Dropday connects your ecommerce platform to your supplier’s order process. When a customer places an order, Dropday automatically checks the supplier rules, creates the correct order file and makes it available in the required EDI format.
Step 1 - A customer places an order in your webshop
A new order comes in through Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop or another connected ecommerce platform.
Step 2 - Dropday checks the supplier rules
Dropday identifies which supplier should receive the order and applies the correct product, shipping and order rules.
Step 3 - Dropday creates the supplier order
The customer order is converted into a structured supplier order, including the required product data, quantities, delivery details and references.
Step 4 - The order is converted into the right EDI format
Dropday can generate supplier-specific EDI files, such as EDIFACT, X12 or a custom EDI format based on your supplier’s requirements.
Step 5 - The EDI order is delivered to your supplier
The order file can be made available through FTP, local export or another agreed supplier workflow.
Step 6 - Your supplier receives the order automatically
Instead of manually creating purchase orders or forwarding order details, your supplier receives the correct order data automatically.
