Network onboarding

Nordstrom Rack (formerly HauteLook) (via Rithum DSCO) is routed through Rithum DSCO

Stacksync maintains a certified Rithum DSCO connection covering 1 trading partner across 1 channel. Onboarding with Nordstrom on this channel reuses that connection — no separate VAN contract or certification cycle.

Rithum DSCO is the dropship network formed when CommerceHub, ChannelAdvisor, and Dsco unified under the Rithum brand in December 2023; the Dsco platform remains the supplier-facing integration surface. Retailers use it to run dropship programs across a network of more than 40,000 brands, retailers, and suppliers, exchanging inventory (846), purchase order (850), ship notice (856), invoice (810), and order status/cancel (870) data.

Connecting via Rithum DSCO
  1. Create a Rithum supplier account and complete the Setup Guide phases: company setup (users, contacts, warehouses), joining the network, and per-channel setup.
  2. Choose a connection per data message: every account includes a dedicated SFTP/FTP mailbox, AS2 is available on request, flat files (CSV, TAB, Excel) carry rich product content, and the Dsco Platform API supports programmatic integration.
  3. Map EDI documents to the Dsco specification (X12 VICS syntax) or use the platform's flat-file and API schemas, per the retailer's requirements.
  4. Run Setup Guide tests against inventory, order, shipment, and invoice data for each retail trading partner.
  5. Reach Network Certified status and pay the setup fee; the trading partner then activates the account in production.

Testing: Suppliers must complete the Setup Guide's test runs against inventory, order, shipment, invoice, and returns data for each trading partner; exact requirements vary by retailer. Certification (Network Certified status) plus setup-fee payment are prerequisites for production activation. Dsco generates 997 acknowledgments for each transaction it processes.

Timeline: Self-service onboarding through the Setup Guide; Rithum publishes no fixed certification timeline. Duration is governed by the supplier's mapping work and per-retailer test completion, plus setup-fee payment before production.
