Buyer beware if you see EDI integrations in an App, that’s a red flag. Find out how EDI integration really works, why an EDI app is not a fully integrated solution, and how to identify ineffective EDI apps.
EDI Integrations In An App? That’s A Red Flag
EDI integrations were never meant to be downloaded in an app. If you see eCommerce agencies or other providers selling you in-app integration Connectors, that is a huge red flag. For instance, if they offer a “fully integrated” EDI application. This shows they don’t understand how EDI works nor how complex EDI requirements are for different trading partners can be.
EDI integrations are specific to each trading partner. When EDI integration is incorrect or has errors, trading partners can charge Merchants with Chargebacks for each incorrect transaction. In fact, this can total thousands of dollars in fees for Merchants who rely on inaccurate and unsophisticated EDI apps.
