Step 1
Start before the season

Step 3
Go dormant when it ends
Dormant mode keeps partners, mappings, and document history configured so next season starts from where you left off.

Seasonal EDI FAQ
What is seasonal EDI?
Seasonal EDI is EDI you only need for part of the year, such as a holiday retail program, a short partner program, or a pop-up vendor season. SignalEDI's Seasonal plan is month-to-month with no annual lock-in.
What does the Seasonal plan cost and include?
Seasonal is $99 per month. 250 transactions / mo, 3 trading partners, 14-day data retention, and standard 850, 856, and 810 formats. The full plan card is on the pricing page.
What is dormant mode?
Dormant mode $20/mo — partners, mappings & history stay configured. Outbound send is paused while dormant; you reactivate in one click. See the pricing page for the exact terms.
Does a shorter season make my partner go live faster?
No. Your side can be ready quickly, but the trading partner controls certification and production approval, so start well before your season. Timelines are the partner's, not ours.
Can I try it before the season starts?
Yes. Start a 30-day free trial with no credit card. Connect and sandbox are included; paid plans apply when you go live with production keys.
