Sephora EDI FAQs

What is EDI compliance?

EDI (or “electronic data interchange”) compliance means your systems can send, receive, and process standard data formats used by retailers like Sephora. This ensures purchase orders, acknowledgments, shipping notices, and inventory updates flow without manual intervention, enabling accurate and efficient EDI fulfillment at scale.

Why do businesses need to be EDI compliant?

To sell through Sephora, you must be able to accept and fulfill orders according to their EDI standards. Without it, you risk chargebacks, delayed shipments, or being removed as a vendor.

How do you become Nordstrom Rack EDI compliant?

To become Sephora EDI compliant on your own, you’d need to set up a secure connection using protocols like AS2 or FTP, work with an EDI provider, configure and test all required document formats (such as 850, 856, 997, etc.), and ensure your internal systems can send, receive, and respond to those documents accurately—all while staying up to date with Sephora’s evolving compliance requirements.

ShipBob simplifies the entire process by offering pre-built EDI integrations, automated document handling, and retail-ready fulfillment so you can start selling through Sephora faster and with less technical overhead.
