Fashionbits EDI

Getting started

Overview of setting up the Fashionbits EDI app for Shopify in three steps.

The Fashionbits EDI app receives EDIFACT messages (such as dispatch advices and price catalogues) by email and processes them directly in your Shopify store. Initial setup takes three steps.

  • A Shopify store with the Fashionbits EDI app installed.
  • A Microsoft 365 mailbox your trading partners send EDI messages to.
  • The GLNs (Global Location Numbers) of your locations.
  1. Connect email account – Connect the Microsoft 365 mailbox that receives EDI messages.
  2. Sync locations – Import your Shopify locations into the app.
  3. Set GLNs – Assign each location its GLN so messages are routed correctly.

You reach all three steps in the app under Settings.

Once setup is complete, the app processes incoming messages automatically. For an overview of the supported formats see Message types. If something goes wrong, see Troubleshooting.
