Bloomingdale's Marketplace listing requirements

This page is part of the sell on Bloomingdale's Marketplace guide.

What do category templates and attributes require?

Each product maps to a category-specific attribute template. Missing attributes are a common reason a listing is held. Fill the template for the category in your agreement, not a generic product sheet.

Why do colors and sizes have to be standard values?

Bloomingdale's expects retailer-standard color and size values rather than marketing names. A value that is not on the standard list will not group or filter the way the site expects. Keep your brand names in your own catalog and map them for this channel.

How do variant families work?

Variants sit in a family. Each variant needs a distinct color and size combination and its own GS1-certified UPC. Two variants that share the same standard color and size can hold the family.

What are the image rules?

Images must meet size minimums and link directly to the image file. A link to a webpage is a common rejection cause. Bloomingdale's has its own image requirements, separate from Macy's, so plan Bloomingdale's images even when the products are the same.

Confirm current size minimums in the guidelines shared during onboarding. This page does not state pixel sizes.

Why do approved items stay hidden?

Items go live only when approved and in stock. A zero-stock offer stays hidden. Refresh the offer on approved products so a return to stock can show the item again.

What are common listing holds?

Images too small or linked to a webpage. Missing attributes. Nonstandard color and size. Duplicate combinations. UPCs that are not GS1-certified. Zero stock.

How does Acenda prepare Bloomingdale's listings?

Acenda is an approved, pioneer partner of Bloomingdale's Marketplace and has been part of Bloomingdale's Marketplace since day one.

Acenda maps products to category templates and retailer-standard color and size values, prepares Bloomingdale's-specific images as direct file links, and returns rejections in plain language so your team can correct and resubmit.
