# Can I connect EDI to Shopify? A retailer just asked us to be EDI compliant and we run everything on Shopify.

This is one of the most common scenarios we see. A Shopify brand gets their first big retail opportunity and suddenly needs EDI. The good news: you don't need to leave Shopify or overhaul your tech stack.
EDI operates separately from your e-commerce platform. It's the system that handles the electronic document exchange between you and your retail partner: purchase orders coming in, shipping notices and invoices going out. Shopify handles your DTC sales; EDI handles your wholesale/retail channel.
With Elevate, we sit alongside your Shopify setup and handle the entire EDI layer. You don't need to understand X12 formats or AS2 protocols. We map your documents to each retailer's specs, manage testing and certification, and integrate with whatever accounting or ERP system you use to manage wholesale orders, whether that's QuickBooks, a spreadsheet, or something else. Your Shopify store keeps running exactly as it does today. No IT team needed, no long-term contracts, and pricing that makes sense at early wholesale volumes.
