Magento + EDI
Automate Magento EDI orders without custom scripts
Keep EDI outside your Magento codebase. Dropday sends orders in each supplier's required format and connects their confirmations and tracking to your store. Manage partner requirements without building a separate EDI process inside Magento.

A direct route from Magento to your suppliers
The Dropday extension connects your store. Dropday manages the supplier-specific EDI exchange.
1
Receive the Magento order
The extension sends newly placed orders to Dropday. Routing rules select the partner for each product.
2
Generate and send the EDI file
Dropday creates the order from your partner's specification and delivers it through the agreed file connection.
3
Connect the response to the order
Dropday receives confirmations and shipping updates, then syncs the relevant shipment details and tracking to Magento.
Message standard
EDIFACT ORDERS, X12 850 or own layout
Transport
File delivery over SFTP, FTPS or FTP
Keep supplier formats out of your Magento codebase
Supplier requirements change. A new partner may use another EDI standard or require different fields. Dropday manages those mappings separately from your Magento extension.
Connect Magento through the existing Dropday extension and use orders via EDI to exchange files in each partner's required format.
No EDI code in your Magento store
Each partner in its own format

Frequently asked questions
Which EDI formats are supported?
EDIFACT ORDERS, ANSI X12 850 purchase orders and supplier-specific layouts.
Can a partner's own file layout be matched?
Yes. The file is based on your partner's specification and a sample of the file it expects, including its header, totals line and character encoding.
Do I need an EDI developer?
No. You install the Dropday extension, and the EDI formats are managed in Dropday.
Do confirmations and tracking come back to Magento?
Yes. Your partner's confirmations and shipping updates return to Dropday, which syncs shipment details and tracking to the Magento order.
Can I see what was sent for each order?
Yes. The Magento order history shows whether the order reached Dropday. In Dropday, you can download the file created for each partner.
