How the connector works
The connector speaks the warehouse document loop natively: EDISQ turns retailer 850s into 940 shipping orders for ShipStation, and when the warehouse ships, the returning 945 drives the retailer-compliant 856 and the 810 invoice automatically. Receipts (944) and adjustments (947) keep your inventory truth in sync — no CSV shuffling between systems.

ShipStation EDI FAQ
Who sends the retailer ASN — ShipStation or EDISQ?
EDISQ does. ShipStation's ship confirmation (945) triggers the retailer-compliant 856, validated against the partner's spec before it transmits. Your 3PL never has to know each retailer's rules.
Do I need EDI middleware between ShipStation and my trading partners?
No. EDISQ is the translation, validation, and transport layer in one — certified partner maps, AS2/SFTP/VAN connectivity, and acknowledgment tracking are all included.
What does it cost?
Per document only: first 25/month free, then from $0.50, decreasing with volume. The connector itself costs nothing — no per-connector or per-partner fees.
