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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Direct Protocol
Encrypted, point-to-point EDI transmission directly to Shopbop's AS2 endpoint. Best for higher-volume brands who need fast, reliable connectivity with full delivery receipts and minimal per-transaction cost.
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.
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.
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.
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.
InboundConfirms 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 scoreSent 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 riskOne 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.
OutboundConfirms syntactic validity of every transmitted EDI document. SBSA monitors all 997 responses continuously and surfaces any rejection before it escalates to a compliance issue.
OutboundShopbop's payment order and remittance advice. SBSA auto-reconciles against open invoices and flags any short-pay or deduction for your AR team.

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.
