What Acenda handles on UO MRKT
Quick answer
Acenda maps your catalog to Urban Outfitters' categories and attributes and validates it before submission, keeps inventory and prices in sync with safety-stock buffers, routes UO MRKT orders to your warehouse or 3PL, and sends tracking back while syncing cancellations and return status. You still set your Shipping + Returns policies and answer shoppers.

How does Acenda connect to UO MRKT?
Acenda is the operational connection between your catalog and UO MRKT, Urban Outfitters' marketplace. It moves catalog, inventory, order, tracking, cancellation, and return-status data. It does not replace Urban Outfitters' review, and it does not speak to shoppers for you.
Acenda is an approved, pioneer partner of UO MRKT, Urban Outfitters' marketplace, and has been part of UO MRKT since day one. The connection is Urban Outfitters only.
How does catalog mapping and validation work?
Your catalog is mapped to Urban Outfitters' categories and attributes. Before a listing is submitted, Acenda validates it against required attributes and image requirements. Imagery and copy still follow your brand's specifications, and URBN trademarks stay out of the listings.
Validation catches gaps before submission. It does not decide which products go live. Listing expectations are on UO MRKT requirements.
How do inventory and price sync work?
Inventory and prices stay in sync with your other channels, with safety-stock buffers so a fast sale elsewhere is less likely to oversell UO MRKT. Marketplace prices must stay consistent with your other sales channels, and the sync is how that consistency holds after you go live.
What happens with orders, tracking, cancellations, and returns?
Orders route to your warehouse, 3PL, or fulfillment partner. When you ship, tracking is sent back to Urban Outfitters. Cancellations and return status sync as shoppers cancel or start returns.
You still ship the order and process the return. The shopper-facing rules are on UO MRKT fulfillment and returns.
What stays with you and Urban Outfitters?
You set Shipping + Returns details in your UO seller account. Acenda does not push those policies. You answer shopper messages from the order details page. Urban Outfitters decides which brands to invite and which products go live.
Acenda does not approve brands, set retailer terms, ship orders, process refunds, or guarantee a go-live date.
How does onboarding with Acenda work?
Urban Outfitters publishes no timeline. After approval, Acenda's process is to connect your account, map your catalog to Urban Outfitters' categories and attributes, set inventory and price sync rules, test, and go live. Timing varies by catalog size and complexity.
Fees are described on UO MRKT fees. Acenda's platform fee is separate, a flat rate per channel, and never a percentage of sales.
