What does Acenda do on Bloomingdale's Marketplace?

After Bloomingdale's approves your brand, Acenda is the layer between your catalog and the channel.

• Listing content and templates. Acenda maps your catalog to Bloomingdale's category templates, including attributes, retailer-standard color and size values, variants, and GS1 UPCs. Detail: listing requirements.
• Images. Acenda prepares Bloomingdale's-specific images separately from your other channels, as direct file links.
• Plain-language rejections. Rejections come back in plain language so your team can fix them and resubmit.
• Variants and offers. Color and size families use a distinct combination per variant, and the offer on each approved product stays refreshed.
• Inventory and price sync. Stock and product prices sync with your other channels, so approved items stay visible when there is inventory and hidden when there is not.
• Orders and returns. Orders, tracking, cancellations, and returns route to your warehouse, 3PL, or fulfillment partner. Detail: fulfillment and returns.
• Payout reconciliation. Weekly J.P. Morgan payouts are matched order by order. Detail: Bloomingdale's Marketplace fees.
• One catalog. Bloomingdale's and Macy's run from the same product record, with a channel-ready version for each, including Bloomingdale's-specific images.

Approved, pioneer partner

Acenda is an approved, pioneer partner of Bloomingdale's Marketplace and has been part of Bloomingdale's Marketplace since day one. With that comes the honor and responsibility of assisting with introductions and nominations for qualified brands. An introduction or nomination is not approval — Bloomingdale's makes the final decision.

Marketplace and drop-ship

Acenda also connects to Bloomingdale's drop-ship programs.

What Acenda does not do

Acenda does not approve brands, decide acceptance, set Bloomingdale's terms, choose contract categories, ship orders, issue refunds, or guarantee a go-live date. Your warehouse, 3PL, or fulfillment partner still ships every order. Approved items stay visible when there is inventory and leave the buyable shelf when there is not.

One catalog for Macy's and Bloomingdale's

Work to get operational on one storefront usually helps the other. It does not replace a second merchant review. Bloomingdale's still needs its own images, its own merchant decision, and its own weekly payout match. See Macy's vs Bloomingdale's Marketplace and what Acenda handles for Macy's.
