Abstract: The Coulomb scattering between three charged pions is shown to be perturbatively calculable using scalar QED for the relative momenta accessible to high-energy experiments of particle collisions. For the triplet relative momenta, $Q_{3}gtrsim50$ MeV/$c$, the calculated three-pion correlation function at $O(alph{a}^2)$ is very similar to the commonly-used triple-product of pair factors -- Riverside approximation. At lower $Q_3$, but above the lowest existing experimental measurement of $sim15$ MeV/$c$, terms of $O(alph{a}^3)$ or higher are needed to obtain a convincing description of three-pion Coulomb interactions. This is in contrast to two-pion correlations, for which the known exact solution is shown to be saturated by the lower orders at comparable pair relative momenta.
