Saks Fifth Avenue Account Integration through Radial

Overview

Saks Fifth Avenue is a luxury department store chain in the United States. It offers a wide variety of high-end fashion and luxury goods, including clothing, accessories, jewelry, cosmetics, home furnishings, and more.

Integrating Saks Fifth Avenue into your Sellercloud account allows you to seamlessly import orders, upload tracking information, and ensure your listings are always up-to-date with the latest inventory data. This integration works through EDI documents, transmitting information between the two services via plugins and Scheduled Tasks. The document exchange goes through Radial.

If necessary, you can contact Sellercloud Support to request additional customizations or other plugins for this integration. Any such modifications will be billable.
