Channel guide

Dropship for Target as a DVS.

Target DVS is Target’s direct-ship vendor program β€” a 2P relationship where Target sells your products on target.com and you ship to the customer. Acenda handles item setup, inventory, orders, and shipping sync so your team can focus on the relationship.

What Acenda handles for Target DVS

Listing setup & content

Your catalog is mapped to Target’s item-setup and attribute requirements, validated before submission, and kept current as requirements change.

Inventory & pricing sync

Stock levels stay in sync with your other channels, with safety stock buffers to protect against overselling on Target orders.

Orders & fulfillment

EDI/API orders route automatically to your warehouse or 3PL, with ASNs and tracking synced back to Target within SLA.

From invite to live in about a month.

A brand-new marketplace launch with Acenda typically takes around 32 days, with 1:1 onboarding from our team the whole way.
