EMDI can be connected to any e-shop or external database by downloading plain text separated by semicolons (csv).
Note that the following procedure is not always necessary because there are ready-made bridges in php language for e-shop of several companies. You can download the ready-made e-shop bridges here.

Bridge for e-shop connection

The files needed to be produced by your e-shop are: (indicatively)

orderlist: http://www.domain.com/neworders.asp

 orderlist

The link produces a csv list containing the orders. Each line is an order.

File Format products order (the order of the fields must not be changed. The first line is ignored.):

example:

If the “CUSTOMER ID” is not associated with the EMDI customer list then the association is based on the VAT ID contained in the “NOTE” field.  Also based on the “USER” field, EMDI automatically sets the user.
Also, if “PAYMENT COST” is 0.01 then the payment cost line in EMDI is normally entered at zero price.
In the new Status field you specify which will be saved in the settings->E-shop connection->Status field in field.

 confirmorder

Informs the e-shop that the order completed. Thus, only the outstanding ones appear in the EMDI order list. EMDI sends the order number.
They are also sent the following variables:
#orderid         E-shop’ s order number
#shipcomp     Shipping method
#voucherno    Tracking number
#docid             Document line ID. The document line number is sent by EMDI. So on any connector we can get the value:

cancelorder

Informs the e-shop that the order canceled. Thus, only the outstanding ones appear in the EMDI order list. EMDI sends the order number.

 selectedorder

File format orders (the order of the fields must not be changed. The first line is ignored.):

example:

If at the end of the link there is “=” then EMDI reads the entire file. Otherwise, it only reads the lines of the selected order.

 modifiedcustomers

Customer file format (the order of the fields must not be changed. The first line is ignored.):

example:

In order to be submited, the country must follow the official alpha-2 coding.

 modifiedproducts

File Format products (the order of the fields must not be changed. The first line is ignored.):

example:

 

In “PRICE” you can include up to 4 pricelist prices:

|Pricelist Line ID 1:Price 1|Pricelist Line ID 2:Price 2|Pricelist Line ID 3:Price 3|Pricelist Line ID 4 :Price 4

So, in case that you want to include 1 additional price, the above example is modeled  as follows:

Clicking on EMDI purchases/sales INS button opens the window with the orders.

Opening this window the links “modifiedcustomers”, “modifiedproducts” automatically inserts the list of customers and products. If there are changes, “customersconfirm” and “productsconfirm” called accordingly, to inform the e-shop that the data imported.

E-shop should be always sending new customers and products and not the whole list. However in all cases only the differences are imported.

After the above “orderlist” link is called and brings the list of pending orders.
Every time you select an order in the left side the link “selectedorder” called in order to show the products of the selected order.

Then once you select the order and close the window, automatically inserted to the document all the products included and “pulled” from the e-shop.

When you click “Save” on EMDI then only the link that updates “confirmorder” e-shop that the order was billed. Then called the link “productavailability” in combination with variable “quantityvariable” sends e-shop availability.

To meet the availability needs to register the purchase invoices to EMDI, otherwise ignore the link.
Caution: The client code in EMDI must only contain numbers and uppercase characters.
