--- title: "Shopify EDI Integration Services | Tirnav" description: "Connect Shopify to retail EDI orders, fulfillment, inventory, and invoice workflows. Plan SKU mapping, 3PL data, partner testing, and exception handling with Tirnav." canonical: "https://tirnav.com/services/edi-integration/shopify" --- # Shopify EDI Integration Services **Connect wholesale EDI orders to Shopify operations.** Selling through your own store and supplying a retail trading partner creates two different order workflows. A retailer's EDI purchase order brings buyer item numbers, delivery requirements, and document obligations that ordinary storefront orders may not capture. Tirnav connects those requirements to Shopify and the warehouse or accounting systems that complete the transaction.

Your systems see separate pieces. Shopify + EDI gets complicated at the handoffs: where a buyer's SKU becomes a product, where an order becomes a shipment, and where a failed update becomes someone's responsibility. 01 ### Match partner data to your records Map buyer SKUs, ship-to codes, and units to the right records before processing orders. 02 ### Give every handoff a clear owner Define who owns orders, fulfillment, and invoicing so updates stay consistent across systems. 03 ### Track processing beyond delivery A delivered file can still fail processing. Track exceptions and recover without duplicate records. How it works ## One connected transaction. Clear responsibility at every step. For Shopify brands expanding into retail distribution, wholesale suppliers managing retailer orders alongside ecommerce, and merchants whose 3PL fulfills both channels. The design starts with where orders, stock, packing information, and invoices actually live. 1. 01 ### 850 Purchase Order Trading partner 2. 02 ### EDI Network Document exchange 3. 03 ### Tirnav EDI Platform Validation & mapping 4. 04 ### Shopify Order Workflow Shopify 5. 05 ### Fulfillment Warehouse / WMS / 3PL 6. 06 ### 856 ASN Shipment notice to the buyer 7. 07 ### 810 Invoice Approved finance source → trading partner Every document is validated, tracked and tied back to the business transaction. Illustrative workflow; record ownership depends on your configuration. How we choose the Shopify connection Shopify's GraphQL Admin API provides access to order and fulfillment resources subject to the app's permissions. We assess the store's plan, installed apps, API scopes, fulfillment ownership, and business process. Webhooks can signal changes, while retrieval and reconciliation establish the current record state. The selected integration must respect third-party fulfillment responsibilities. [Shopify: fulfillment order API and access scopes](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/queries/fulfillmentOrders) EDI transactions ## Connect the complete order-to-cash conversation Scope the X12 documents your trading partners require and the Shopify or operational records each document needs. These supplier-side examples are confirmed against the partner's version and implementation guide. 1. 01 / Buyer → supplier ### Order [EDI 850](https://tirnav.com/edi/850-purchase-order) Purchase Order What does the buyer need? Mapping details Agreed Shopify order workflow Translate retailer items into product variants and retain external PO, line, and ship-to references using an agreed order-creation process. 2. 02 / Supplier → buyer ### Confirmation [EDI 855](https://tirnav.com/edi/855-purchase-order-acknowledgment) Purchase Order Acknowledgment What can you supply, and when? Mapping details Wholesale order response Generate the partner response from the accepted quantity and delivery commitment, including exceptions that need merchant review. 3. 03 / Supplier → buyer ### Fulfillment [EDI 856](https://tirnav.com/edi/856-advance-ship-notice) Advance Ship Notice What shipped, and how is it packed? Mapping details Fulfillment + 3PL packing details Combine fulfillment information with the warehouse's actual carton structure, tracking, and SSCC labels where required. 4. 04 / Supplier → buyer ### Billing [EDI 810](https://tirnav.com/edi/810-invoice) Invoice What is the buyer being charged? Mapping details Designated invoice source Use the agreed financial source and billing event. A Shopify order confirmation is not automatically a partner-compliant EDI invoice. 5. 05 / Buyer → supplier ### Payment [EDI 820](https://tirnav.com/edi/820-payment-order-remittance-advice) Payment / Remittance Which invoices does the remittance cover? Mapping details Finance reconciliation + application visibility Match retailer remittance references, invoice amounts, and deductions to approved finance records. Define how Shopify receives reconciliation status; a remittance message alone does not establish payment settlement. The business journey is shown in sequence; actual timing follows the partner agreement. An EDI 820 carries payment instructions or remittance information. Payment execution and settlement are confirmed through the agreed finance and banking process. ### Supporting the transaction throughout its lifecycle [EDI 846 · Inventory Advice](https://tirnav.com/edi/846-inventory-advice) Wholesale inventory availability Define which locations and available quantities are offered to the retailer so ecommerce demand and wholesale commitments follow the agreed allocation policy. [EDI 997 · Functional Acknowledgement](https://tirnav.com/edi/997-functional-acknowledgment) Technical acknowledgment tracking Link functional acknowledgment status to the original EDI interchange. Keep technical acceptance separate from order acceptance and application processing. Additional scope can include 860 order changes, 940 warehouse shipping orders, 945 shipping advice, or EDIFACT equivalents. A technical acknowledgment is separate from a commercial acceptance. Documents and directions are agreed for each partner. Shopify workflows ## Give sales, service, and operations the same order context Example journey ### EDI → Shopify → Accounting / WMS / 3PL 1. 01 #### Capture the partner order Match customer and item references, then create or synchronize the agreed order records. 2. 02 #### Confirm fulfillment with the warehouse Use confirmed quantities, packing, and tracking data to prepare the shipment notice. 3. 03 #### Reconcile the approved invoice Send the approved invoice with its original PO and shipment references intact. Illustrative workflow; records depend on your edition and configuration. ### Variants, packs, and buyer identifiers Match buyer items and wholesale packs to the correct Shopify variants. ### Fulfillment ownership Define whether the merchant or 3PL owns fulfillment and packing data. ### Separate invoice responsibilities Choose the approved invoice source across Shopify and your accounting system. ### Order updates and inventory policy Coordinate order changes and available stock across wholesale and ecommerce. EDI failure & recovery ## When an order fails, your team needs a way forward. Recovery is part of the integration design. We define how to locate the failure, correct the cause, resume processing, and verify the result across EDI, Shopify, and the systems downstream. ### Detect the actual failure Track document receipt, validation, application processing, and partner acknowledgment separately. Surface the failed stage, affected order line, and source error instead of showing one ambiguous success flag. ### Give someone enough context to act Route mapping issues, application validation errors, and warehouse exceptions to the right owner. Keep partner control references, record IDs, timestamps, and the required correction together. ### Replay with duplicate protection Check whether the destination already committed a record before retrying. Preserve the original correlation reference, retry only the appropriate stage, and require review when the outcome is uncertain. ### Reconcile before closing the issue Confirm that source and destination records agree and that the required downstream messages completed. Record the correction and recovery result so operations can explain what happened later. ### Example: a Shopify order update times out Ambiguous outcome A timeout does not prove the write failed. Check the original external reference and the supported Shopify record state before retrying. If the agreed order record exists, resume from the next incomplete stage. If it does not, a controlled retry can proceed. Uncertain matches go to review. Edition-specific permissions and posting rules govern any correction. [Try the sample recovery workflow](#demo) Implementation process ## From the first partner guide to production support Six clear steps from discovery to ongoing support. 1. 01 ### Discover Agree on partners, systems, scope, and ownership. 2. 02 ### Map Match partner documents to your business records. 3. 03 ### Build Connect systems with validation and recovery controls. 4. 04 ### Test Verify complete transactions, exceptions, and partner requirements. 5. 05 ### Go-live Launch with a controlled cutover and verified live orders. 6. 06 ### Support Monitor transactions, resolve issues, and maintain mappings.

The integration must satisfy the retailer's requirements as well as Shopify's API and workflow constraints. - The answer depends on the workflow and features required. We assess the store's plan, B2B features, API permissions, and installed apps before committing to a design; there is no single plan requirement for every EDI project. - Yes, subject to the 3PL's interfaces and available data. We scope fulfillment events, carton details, labels, shipment references, and the ownership of retries or corrections across both systems. - The agreed scope covers discovery, source-to-target mapping, connectivity, validation, exception handling, end-to-end testing, and go-live support. Deliverables identify the trading partners, document types, application records, and any ERP or warehouse changes required. Ongoing support responsibilities are agreed separately. - Timing depends on partner testing windows, document complexity, master-data readiness, interface access, and application changes. After discovery, we provide a dated plan with dependencies and acceptance criteria rather than promise one timeline for every project. - We assess the existing provider's interfaces, mapping ownership, transport agreements, and support responsibilities. The project can focus on the application connection where suitable. If migration is needed, we plan partner testing, reconciliation, and cutover explicitly. - Scope is driven by the number of partners and document maps, application interfaces, custom fields, warehouse dependencies, environments, and support requirements. We separate implementation work from any recurring service, transport, or third-party licensing costs in the proposal. ## Structured data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://tirnav.com/services/edi-integration/shopify#webpage", "url": "https://tirnav.com/services/edi-integration/shopify", "name": "Shopify EDI Integration Services", "description": "Connect Shopify to retail EDI orders, fulfillment, inventory, and invoice workflows.
