From Shopify order to supplier fulfilment
Orders from your Shopify sales channels follow one process, with the right products sent to the right suppliers.
1
Bring Shopify orders into Dropday
The Dropday app receives new orders from Shopify, including orders placed through connected sales channels.
2
Send each supplier its required format
Dropday routes the relevant order lines and creates the EDI order for each supplier.
3
Keep the Shopify order updated
Supplier confirmations and shipping updates return to Dropday, which syncs shipment details and tracking back to Shopify.

ANSI X12 850, EDIFACT or own layout
Transport

Meet supplier requirements without building an EDI system
A distributor may require ANSI X12 purchase orders, while another supplier uses EDIFACT. Dropday manages the required format for each partner, so your team can work from one order flow.
Use the Dropday app for Shopify to connect your store. The EDI connection handles the file exchange without custom EDI scripts alongside your shop.

Selling through several channels
Whether an order starts in your online store or another channel connected to Shopify, it can follow the same supplier-order process.
Working with larger distributors
Send structured purchase orders to distributors that use EDI to receive and process retailer orders.
Personalised products
Include supported line-item details, such as engraving text or a selected material, in the supplier's order file.

An order can include products from different suppliers. Send an EDI file to one partner and an email to another.

Frequently asked questions
Is there an EDI app for Shopify?
Dropday is installed from the Shopify App Store. It creates each supplier's EDI order and delivers it to the supplier's server.
Which EDI formats are supported?
ANSI X12, such as the 850 purchase order, EDIFACT ORDERS and supplier-specific layouts. Each supplier gets its own format, based on its specification.
Can I test before going live?
Yes. Dropday works on a Shopify development store, so you can set up your suppliers and rules before your store takes real orders.
Do confirmations and tracking come back to Shopify?
Yes. Your supplier's confirmations and shipping updates return to Dropday, and shipment details and tracking are synced to the Shopify order.
Can I see which file went to which supplier?
Yes. Each order in Dropday shows which supplier received which products, and you can download the file created for that supplier.
