Network onboarding

Home Depot (US) (via Rithum) is routed through Rithum

Stacksync maintains a certified Rithum connection covering 23 trading partners across 25 channels. Onboarding with The Home Depot on this channel reuses that connection — no separate VAN contract or certification cycle.

Rithum, the network formerly known as CommerceHub, is a commerce platform large retailers use to run dropship and marketplace programs; supplier connectivity runs on its Dsco and OrderStream platforms. Retailers that mandate the network have suppliers exchange orders, shipments, invoices, and inventory data, carried as EDI 850, 856, 810, and 846 or as XML, JSON, or delimited files over the same connections.

Connecting via Rithum
  1. Accept the retailer's program invitation and create a Rithum supplier account.
  2. Choose a connection method: supplier portal, SFTP or FTPS file exchange, AS2 (carrying EDI, XML, or delimited messages), or the API.
  3. Set up connectivity against Rithum's test environments; AS2 uses a dedicated staging endpoint (staging AS2 ID RITHUMAS2-STAGING) separate from production, and TLS 1.2 or later with SNI support is required.
  4. Map and validate inventory, order, shipment, and invoice flows, then contact Rithum software support to validate bidirectional message transmission.
  5. Cut over to the production endpoints (production AS2 ID RITHUMAS2, as2.rithum.com) once the retailer signs off.

Testing: Rithum maintains separate test and production environments (dedicated vendor test and retailer test tiers, and a staging AS2 identity distinct from production). Suppliers validate inventory, order, shipment, and invoice flows in test, and Rithum software support confirms bidirectional message transmission before production cutover. AS2 clients must support SNI and TLS 1.2 or later.

Timeline: Rithum states that onboarding suppliers to a dropship program traditionally takes three to six months and claims a 66 percent reduction using its platform and onboarding team; actual duration depends on the connection method chosen and the retailer's test requirements.
