How EDISQ connects to DECA
DECA trades through a VAN interconnect — the VAN hop is included in the per-document price. EDISQ handles the interconnect, registers your IDs, and loads the certified maps the moment you enable the partner:
Typical DECA setup with EDISQ: 3–5 days on the EDI side.
Pricing for DECA suppliers
No DECA-specific fees. First 25 documents/month free, then $0.50 per document, cheaper as volume grows — no VAN, mapping, or partner fees. Full pricing →
