What's Shopify EDI Integration, and Why Do you Need it?
The world of E-commerce is getting bigger every day, but one e-commerce platform keeps staying on the top - Which is quite a hard task. That platform is Shopify, that even after all the years and developments during that time, keeps being fresh, professional and unique.
One of the most important actions needed when setting up your e-commerce site in Shopify is the EDI integration - An important feature that almost every digital shop needs to implant. As a matter of fact, if you expect to work with dropship and shipping services and/or working with a high volume of B2B customers (And who doesn't?), you must integrate EDI. How does it work in Shopify? The answer is quite simple, thanks to Amosoft EDI, which enables the process and gives various specials options, tailored into B2B vendors (Split into 2 major groups):
Common EDI Requirements: Use Amosoft EDI to load orders from retailers or customers into Shopify, send various shipping notices to clients for each completed order or invoices to customers/accountant. All of those actions can be done automatically and loaded/sent within your Shopify store.
Other EDI Requirements: Use Amosoft EDI to automatically send purchase orders from your supplier straight to Shopify. Amsoft EDI can also work hand in hand with 3rd party platforms, such as your logistics provider or your POS - Use Amosoft EDI to update your inventory in hand or insert and update/load new products via/into Shopify.
If that's not enough, Amosoft EDI to complete your sales invoices and send a pickup request to your courier, as well as keeping track of your orders and shipping. All can be done through your Shopify account - Simple as that.
All of those services aren't something new, and local stores use them as well. The difference lies at the ease of each process after the EDI integration is performed, and the fact that many actions can be automated, an action that can save valuable time, money and other resources. In addition, many service providers in the field of E-commerce require EDI integration in order to give you full access to their selection of services.
