Amazon's Premium Fashion Marketplace — Demanding EDI Standards

Shopbop is Amazon's curated destination for designer and contemporary fashion, carrying over 1,000 brands for a global customer base. As an Amazon subsidiary, Shopbop applies a high standard of EDI compliance — and supplier chargebacks are enforced strictly. Understanding which supplier type you are determines your EDI obligations.

Wholesale Vendor

You sell inventory to Shopbop's buying team. Shopbop warehouses your products and fulfills orders to its own customers. POs arrive via EDI 850; you ship to a Shopbop DC with GS1-128 labels and ASN compliance.

B2B Inventory DC Shipments Label Required

Dropship Supplier

You ship directly to Shopbop's end customers on their behalf. Each PO contains a customer address, and all shipments must carry Shopbop branding. High order volumes make full automation non-negotiable.

Direct to Consumer Shopbop Branding Automation Critical

Dual-Mode Supplier

Some brands supply Shopbop through both wholesale and dropship programs simultaneously. SBSA handles both fulfillment paths from a single integration — each order type is routed through the correct workflow automatically.

Both Paths Single Integration Auto-Routing
1,000+ Designer and contemporary brands carried on Shopbop's platform
< 60s Time from PO receipt to 855 Acknowledgment with SBSA automation
2–4 wks Typical go-live timeline from questionnaire to first live Shopbop order
24/7 Continuous compliance monitoring with chargeback prevention alerts

Three Ways to Connect with Shopbop

Shopbop supports AS2, SFTP, and VAN connectivity for EDI transmission. SBSA Technology manages full setup, certificate configuration, and ongoing compliance monitoring for all three protocols.

SFTP

Secure File Transfer

Secure FTP-based document exchange — a reliable option for brands with existing SFTP infrastructure or those transitioning to fully automated EDI. SBSA configures the SFTP server and manages file monitoring around the clock.

  • Protocol: SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)
  • Standard: ANSI X12 flat files
  • Best for: Mid-volume brands with existing SFTP experience
  • SBSA manages: SFTP setup, file routing & monitoring

EDI VAN

Managed Network

Value-Added Network transmission for suppliers who prefer a fully managed intermediary connection. SBSA acts as your complete EDI department — routing, translating, and monitoring all Shopbop documents through the VAN.

  • Protocol: EDI VAN — SBSA provides EDI ID
  • Best for: Smaller or less-technical fashion brands
  • Monitoring: 24/7 document tracking and alerts
  • SBSA manages: Full VAN setup, routing & compliance

Shopbop EDI Integration EDI Transaction Set

SBSA Technology supports core and supplemental Shopbop EDI Integration EDI documents. Critical transactions are highlighted because they carry the highest compliance risk when transmitted incorrectly or late.

850

Purchase Order

Shopbop's PO initiates the fulfillment cycle. Contains style, color, size, and quantity data at the line level. Dropship POs include end-customer address and contact information.

Inbound
855

PO Acknowledgment

Confirms your ability to fulfill at the SKU level. Used to report backorders, quantity changes, or unavailable styles before shipment. SBSA auto-fires this within minutes of PO receipt.

Outbound Must be sent promptly — affects compliance score
856

Advance Ship Notice

Sent as shipment leaves your facility. Must include carton-level detail, carrier, and tracking. Dropship orders require Shopbop-branded packing slip generated from ASN data. Late or missing ASNs trigger chargebacks.

Outbound Must transmit before physical arrival — chargeback risk
810

Invoice

One invoice per PO. SBSA validates invoice quantities against ASN before transmitting. Prevents deductions caused by billing for unshipped units. Invoice and ASN must match precisely.

Outbound
997

Functional Acknowledgment

Confirms syntactic validity of every transmitted EDI document. SBSA monitors all 997 responses continuously and surfaces any rejection before it escalates to a compliance issue.

Outbound
820

Payment Remittance

Shopbop's payment order and remittance advice. SBSA auto-reconciles against open invoices and flags any short-pay or deduction for your AR team.

Inbound
860

PO Change Request

Buyer-initiated modifications to existing POs — quantity, ship date, or style changes. Applied at line item level and reflected in your ERP automatically.

Inbound
832

Price / Sales Catalog

Transmit your style catalog, pricing, and seasonal line sheets to Shopbop's buying system in a structured EDI format — eliminating manual spreadsheet submissions.

Outbound
180

Return Merchandise

Shopbop-initiated return authorization. SBSA maps return requests into your returns management workflow and notifies your team when inbound inventory is expected.

Shopbop EDI FAQ

Common questions from fashion and apparel brands beginning their Shopbop EDI compliance journey.

Shopbop requires the EDI 850 (Purchase Order), EDI 855 (PO Acknowledgment), EDI 856 (Advance Ship Notice / ASN), EDI 810 (Invoice), and EDI 997 (Functional Acknowledgment). SBSA Technology supports all five required transactions plus all optional transactions including the 820 Payment Remittance, 860 PO Change Request, 180 Return Authorization, and 832 Price/Sales Catalog. All transactions are mapped to your ERP with full validation built in.

Yes. Shopbop operates both a wholesale fulfillment model (shipping to Shopbop's own distribution center) and a dropship program (you ship directly to Shopbop's end customers). Dropship purchase orders arrive via EDI 850 with the customer's name and delivery address embedded in the PO. All dropship shipments must carry Shopbop's branded packing slip — your brand must not appear on customer-facing packaging. SBSA handles both fulfillment paths from a single integration, routing each order type through the correct automated workflow.

Fashion EDI requires granular SKU-level management — every line item in a Shopbop 850 PO is broken down by style number, color code, and size. SBSA Technology's mapping layer handles all product attribute variations at the line item level, aligning Shopbop's catalog identifiers precisely with your internal SKU structure. The 855 Acknowledgment, 856 ASN, and 810 Invoice all carry the same style/color/size granularity, ensuring Shopbop's receiving system matches your shipment exactly.

Yes — and SBSA Technology is an Intuit Silver Partner, meaning our QuickBooks integrations are certified and built to Intuit's latest API specifications. We support both QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Enterprise. Shopbop purchase orders are mapped to QuickBooks sales orders, invoices sync to accounts receivable, and payment remittances are matched automatically. For QuickBooks Enterprise users, SBSA also supports multi-location inventory tracking and advanced pick/pack/ship workflows.

If certain styles, colors, or sizes on a Shopbop PO are unavailable, you must reflect this in your EDI 855 PO Acknowledgment at the line item level — updating quantities, flagging backorders with revised availability dates, or marking specific SKUs as unable to ship. SBSA manages this exception workflow automatically: your live inventory data is checked at the point of 855 generation, and any fulfillment gaps are flagged for your team's review before the document is transmitted to Shopbop. Backorder lines should be acknowledged with revised dates, not silently cancelled.

Most Shopbop EDI integrations go live within 2 to 4 weeks. The timeline covers: completing the SBSA questionnaire to confirm your supplier type and fulfillment paths; connection setup (AS2, SFTP, or VAN); document mapping for all required transactions; ERP or accounting system integration; testing against Shopbop's test environment with full compliance validation; and go-live with 24/7 monitoring active from day one. You do not need an in-house EDI team — SBSA manages the full technical implementation and ongoing compliance.

Yes. Because Shopbop is an Amazon subsidiary, many fashion brands supply both Shopbop and Amazon Vendor Central. SBSA supports both platforms simultaneously and can build a shared ERP mapping layer that serves both trading partners — reducing total setup effort, maintenance overhead, and integration cost significantly. Both connections are managed through SBSA's unified compliance platform with separate monitoring for each retailer.

Shopbop supports AS2 (direct, encrypted point-to-point transmission), SFTP (secure file transfer), and VAN (Value-Added Network) for EDI document exchange. SBSA Technology manages full setup, certificate configuration, and ongoing compliance monitoring for all three protocols. AS2 is typically recommended for higher-volume suppliers due to its speed and low per-transaction cost, while VAN is a good fit for smaller brands that prefer a fully managed intermediary connection.
