How the connector works
The connector authenticates against your WooCommerce store, then translates in both directions: inbound retailer and dropship 850s become WooCommerce orders, fulfillments with tracking become compliant 856 ship notices, and stock levels publish as 846 inventory feeds. Your store never sees raw X12 — EDISQ validates every document against the partner's companion guide first.

| Order confirmation | → | 855 PO Acknowledgment |
| Fulfillment + tracking | → | 856 Ship Notice / ASN |
| Invoice / settlement | → | 810 Invoice |
| Inventory levels | → | 846 Inventory Advice |

WooCommerce EDI FAQ
Does this cover my WooCommerce storefront orders too?
The connector handles the EDI side — retailer and dropship programs trading through WooCommerce. Your direct storefront orders keep flowing as they do today; EDI orders simply arrive alongside them.
Do I need EDI middleware between WooCommerce 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.
