7 EDI 864 FAQ

Common questions about 864 Text Message transactions with 7.

How long does it take to set up 7 EDI with Stacksync?

Most suppliers are fully connected and processing live 7 EDI transactions within 3–5 business days. Stacksync's no-code setup means you don't need developers or EDI consultants — configure your field mappings through our visual interface, run a test cycle, and go live.

Do I need an existing VAN or AS2 connection to trade with 7?

No. Stacksync handles the entire EDI transport layer. We connect directly to 7's trading partner network through our certified connections. You don't need to manage a separate VAN subscription, AS2 certificates, or SFTP configurations.

How does Stacksync help with 7 compliance?

Stacksync improves compliance scores by eliminating manual processing delays. Purchase Orders sync to your system in real time, ASNs are generated automatically when you ship, and invoices are validated with three-way matching before submission. Real-time monitoring alerts you to issues before they become chargebacks.
