EDI vs. PDF to Order
The wholesale automation outcome - without the EDI project.
EDI works - eventually, expensively, and only with partners who also have EDI. PDF to Order gets you the same result today, with any customer, from an email.
Traditional EDI
- $5k–$30k per partner onboarding
- 6–12 week mapping project per partner
- Monthly VAN or AS2 fees
- Requires your customer to have EDI
- Breaks when your customer's format changes
- Consultants needed to change anything
PDF to Order
- $0 setup, $49/month starter plan
- Live in an afternoon on real orders
- No VAN, no AS2 - just email + Shopify
- Works with any customer who can send a PDF or email
- Auto-adapts to layout changes
- Your team runs it - no consultants
