Frequently asked questions

How do I apply to be a Home Depot supplier?

Apply through The Home Depot’s centralized portal. The Home Depot reviews applications based on current market needs, and selected suppliers complete compliance onboarding.

Does The Home Depot have a marketplace?

The Home Depot does not currently offer a 3P marketplace, so sellers can’t list as third-party marketplace sellers. Brands sell through its drop-ship (DSV, 2P) supplier program on Mirakl, which Acenda connects to. The Home Depot says: “Although we don’t offer a marketplace, we do have established onboarding paths.”

Can Acenda get my brand into The Home Depot?

No. The Home Depot decides which suppliers it works with. Acenda runs the channel once you’re approved.
