Lowe's Marketplace
Lowe's Marketplace seller requirements
Quick answer
Lowe's Marketplace sellers need a U.S.-registered business with a U.S. address, a W-9, and an EIN; GS1-certified UPCs; and inventory shipped from within the United States with Lowe's-approved carriers. Products must fit Lowe's available categories and meet its product-attribution requirements. Lowe's carefully selects sellers, so meeting these baseline requirements does not guarantee approval.

What business details does Lowe's Marketplace require?
Lowe's Marketplace sellers need a U.S.-registered business with a U.S. address, a W-9, and an EIN. Those are the business details Lowe's uses as the baseline for a seller account.
A W-9 and an EIN identify the business for U.S. tax reporting. The U.S. address is part of the same baseline. If your company is registered outside the United States, this marketplace is not the path described on Lowe's public pages.
Meeting the business baseline is the starting point. Lowe's still carefully selects sellers, and an application is not an approval.
What product and catalog requirements apply?
Products need GS1-certified UPCs. They also need to sit in Lowe's available categories and meet Lowe's product-attribution requirements, which means the attributes for that category are complete.
Catalog rules, including templates, the Prop 65 declaration, and the front-facing image, are covered on Lowe's Marketplace listing requirements. Confirm the identifier rules for your category during onboarding.
What shipping requirements apply to Lowe's sellers?
Lowe's Marketplace requires domestic inventory, shipped from within the United States. Lowe's does not offer international shipping for marketplace orders. You ship with Lowe's-approved carriers.
Ship promptly against Lowe's published service-level targets, with separate timing for small-parcel and freight (LTL) orders. Confirm the current targets in the Lowe's seller portal. Order handling is on Lowe's Marketplace fulfillment and returns.
What else does Lowe's consider?
Lowe's carefully selects its sellers so that products align with Lowe's brand and quality and with its strategy. After launch, Lowe's monitors ongoing performance and product ratings.
Verified sellers range from small businesses up to nationally recognized brands, including existing Lowe's suppliers. An existing vendor can sell on the marketplace if Lowe's selects it and the marketplace products are not duplicative of Lowe's existing assortment.
Requirements can change; confirm current terms during onboarding.
How Acenda helps you get ready
Acenda validates attributes against Lowe's templates before submission, maps carriers to the codes Lowe's accepts, and sets inventory and pricing rules, including safety-stock buffers. Acenda does not approve sellers. Lowe's makes that decision.
