Six reasons to pair Nordstrom with e-tailize.
Your brand shown the way this channel reads
A curated retailer looks at assortment, imagery, price positioning and whether you add something it does not already carry. We prepare that case and present it for you.
Content that passes both sets of guidelines
Titles, descriptions, variants and required attributes stay mapped from one place, so your catalogue meets your own brand standard and the retailer standard at the same time.
No overselling when a channel is added
Inventory rules run through the same operating layer, so a United States channel does not put the rest of your stock out of step.
Orders and tracking in one view
Every order, its status and its tracking stay visible in one screen, and orders route straight to your own warehouse or your fulfilment partner.
Nordstrom answers the customer, you keep the promise
Because returns and customer care sit with Nordstrom, your side of the deal is accurate stock and shipping on time. That is exactly what the software protects.

What fits on Nordstrom
Nordstrom uses the marketplace to go deeper in the categories it is already known for rather than to sell everything, and it has named gifting, kids and lower price points as areas it wants to grow.
What gets checked before you publish
Listings are validated against Nordstrom's categories and attribute requirements before they are submitted, so incomplete data or content that misses the retailer guidelines stays behind. Marketplace items are also not exchanged.
Questions sellers ask about Nordstrom.
What does selling on Nordstrom cost?
Nordstrom publishes no rate card. Commission and any other charges are agreed in your seller contract, so we quote no figure here and check your real terms against your margin first. e-tailize comes on top: Toolkit from €229 a month, Expansion from €349, Takeover €1,500 plus a revenue share.
Do I have to ship from the United States?
Yes. The seller terms are explicit that sellers, not Nordstrom, are responsible for fulfilling and shipping marketplace orders. A fulfilment partner in the United States is allowed. e-tailize routes every order and pushes tracking back automatically.
Who handles returns and customer service on Nordstrom?
Nordstrom does. Marketplace items go back to Nordstrom under its own return policy and are not exchanged, and Nordstrom answers those customers itself instead of putting them in touch with you. Your side stays accurate stock and shipping on time.
What product data does Nordstrom need?
Your catalogue is mapped to Nordstrom's categories and attribute requirements and validated before it is submitted, and those requirements move over time. Titles, descriptions and imagery have to meet brand and retailer guidelines at once. The e-tailize PIM keeps that in one place.
Can my brand sell on Nordstrom, and is it worth it?
That is what the free exploration call is for. Nordstrom curates its assortment, so nobody can promise you a place there and we will not pretend otherwise. We look at your range, your margin and your setup for the United States and say what is realistic.
Nordstrom's setup, in plain English.
e-tailize comes in three packages: you do it, we do it together, or we do it for you. Each package moves with your marketplace revenue. Nordstrom charges its own commission on top, agreed in your seller contract.
Free: the exploration call and the list of marketplaces that fit you. Then you pick a package. Toolkit from €229 a month: you do it. Expansion from €349 a month, the first month at signing: we do it together. Takeover €1,500 a month plus a revenue share: we do it.
Apply yourself, they review. Stuck? Expansion does
it for you.
Book a free exploration call: you see where your range has potential in the United States. Expansion from €349 a month, the first month paid at signing, or the Toolkit from €229 if you do it yourself. And after Nordstrom? Another 200+ marketplaces and integrations from the same base.
