Orderful
Add Orderful to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Embed an Orderful integration so your product can trade EDI documents with a customer's retailers and carriers without anyone in your team learning X12 segment layouts. Orderful is a cloud EDI network that presents those documents as JSON and validates them against each trading partner's own rules before they go out, so the transactions your product handles are purchase orders, invoices, advance ship notices, inventory updates and acknowledgements rather than raw files. Each customer authorises their own Orderful account and their own trading partner relationships, so documents move under their credentials and stay scoped to their tenant. fastn owns the auth, retries, webhook delivery and API upkeep, and the same governed connection is what your AI agents use.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let each customer connect their own Orderful account so EDI documents flow through your product with no per-customer code.
Receive purchase orders from a customer's trading partners and trigger your product the moment one lands.
Send invoices and advance ship notices out from your product, validated against that partner's requirements before delivery.
Read inventory updates and acknowledgements per tenant so your product knows what a partner actually confirmed.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent explains why a document failed validation for one trading partner and what field caused it.
An agent checks whether a shipment notice or acknowledgement was received for an order, with every read audited.
An agent resends a corrected document within scoped permissions, with the action attributed to the tenant that authorised it.
Example prompt
Which purchase orders came in from our retailers this week, and did every one get an acknowledgement back?

- 02Have each customer authorise their own Orderful account and their trading partner relationships.
- 03Map the document types and fields your product uses, per customer, and enable triggers for inbound documents.
- 04Call it from your product and expose the same connection to your agents through the MCP gateway.
Why teams use the Orderful integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship an Orderful integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Orderful account inside your product and work their shipments, tracking events and orders there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: tracking data arrives from many carriers in inconsistent formats and at unpredictable times. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so an Orderful update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Orderful connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you keep physical movement and stock visible inside your product without wiring it twice.

BigCommerceOrderful integration FAQ
How do I add an Orderful integration to my product?
Enable the Orderful connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Orderful account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Orderful client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Orderful account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Orderful account and only ever sees their own shipments, tracking events and orders. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Orderful integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent explains why a document failed validation for one trading partner and what field caused it.
Who maintains the Orderful integration?
fastn does. When Orderful changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Can I track shipments from Orderful inside my product?
Yes. Shipment and tracking events are read per customer and can trigger your workflows, so status changes surface in your product instead of your users checking a carrier site.
What does my product get back from Orderful as things move?
Whatever Orderful actually holds. Where it moves goods, that is shipment and tracking events, read per customer and delivered as they land. Where it holds stock, levels can be read on demand or kept in step through events, so your product is not deciding on a stale count. Where it carries orders and documents between trading partners, it is the acknowledgement, ship notice or status change that says what moved.
What can I build with the Orderful integration?
A common starting point: let each customer connect their own Orderful account so EDI documents flow through your product with no per-customer code. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Orderful integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Orderful does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
