This guide explains how to connect Nordstrom Marketplace to M2E Mirakl Connect and manage products, offers, inventory, and orders from your store.
M2E Mirakl Connect helps you manage your daily Nordstrom operations. You can use it to:
- send product and offer data to Nordstrom,
- synchronize inventory and prices,
- import marketplace orders,
- update shipping and tracking details,
- identify listing errors and validation issues.
The connection works through the Mirakl API. M2E keeps key marketplace data synchronized between Nordstrom and your store, so you don’t need to update the same information in both systems.
ℹ️ Because Nordstrom uses Mirakl, many of the setup steps in this guide also apply to other Mirakl marketplaces available in M2E.
Outside M2E Mirakl Connect #
Nordstrom is a retailer and marketplace known for fashion, apparel, footwear, accessories, beauty, home and lifestyle products, toys, games, and crafts.
Nordstrom Marketplace serves customers in the United States. Marketplace orders, shipping, and returns are handled within the US.
Costs of selling on Nordstrom #
Nordstrom doesn’t publicly list its marketplace setup fees, monthly charges, commission rates, or other seller costs.
Nordstrom provides commercial terms directly to sellers during onboarding.
Request seller account & access #
Nordstrom must approve you before you can connect your marketplace account to M2E Mirakl Connect.
During onboarding, Nordstrom may ask for:
- a US business registration number,
- EIN, Tax ID, or LEI,
- W-9 documentation,
- a US bank account,
- a US shipping and return address,
- valid product identifiers such as UPC, GTIN, or EAN,
- information about supported shipping carriers,
- proof of website traffic or existing marketplace sales.
Nordstrom may require sellers to show at least 50,000 website visitors per month or an established sales history on other marketplaces.
Once Nordstrom approves your application, you receive access to its Mirakl environment. You need this access to connect Nordstrom to M2E Mirakl Connect.
ℹ️ Nordstrom decides which sellers, categories, and products can be accepted. Some categories may require additional information or approval.
Inside M2E Mirakl Connect #
Connect your Nordstrom seller account to M2E Mirakl Connect to manage marketplace products, offers, inventory, and orders from your Magento or Adobe Commerce store.

- new and existing Nordstrom listings,
- product categories and attributes,
- prices and stock,
- marketplace orders,

How to connect Nordstrom #
Before setup, complete Nordstrom onboarding and make sure you can access the Mirakl seller portal.
To connect your account:
- Install M2E Mirakl Connect.
- Sign in to M2E.
- Add your Nordstrom Mirakl account.
- Enter the required authorization details, such as Shop ID.
- Configure product, price, inventory, and order synchronization.
✅ Follow the M2E Mirakl Connect setup guide for the full setup process.
Day-to-day management #
After connecting Nordstrom, your Magento or Adobe Commerce store remains the main place where you manage your catalog and marketplace orders.
M2E acts as the connection between your store and Nordstrom. It transfers supported catalog and offer updates to the marketplace and brings new Nordstrom orders back into Adobe Commerce.
This lets you manage another sales channel without maintaining product and order data separately.
Product management #
The workflow depends on whether the product already exists on Nordstrom.
For new Nordstrom products
Start by selecting the Magento products you want to publish. Then assign the correct marketplace category and map your Magento attributes to the fields Nordstrom expects.
Required product data may include:
- UPC, EAN, or GTIN,
- brand name,
- title and product description,
- main and additional images,
- size,
- color,
- marketplace category,
- category-specific attributes.
If Nordstrom returns an error, use the marketplace response to identify the missing or incorrect information. Update the Magento data or mapping and resend the product.
For products already on Nordstrom
You can connect an existing Nordstrom offer to its matching Magento or Adobe Commerce product instead of submitting the complete product again.
After linking, M2E can keep supported offer data aligned between your store and the marketplace.
Synchronization policies #
Product management policies define how M2E should update Nordstrom offers when Magento data changes.
For example, policies can control:
- marketplace pricing,
- price increases or decreases,
- available inventory,
- quantity limits,
- listing status,
- synchronization behavior.
You can assign the same policy to a group of products, while creating separate policies for products that need different pricing or inventory rules.
Order management #
Nordstrom orders can be imported automatically into your Magento or Adobe Commerce store.
This allows your team to process marketplace sales alongside regular store orders. M2E can also keep stock aligned after you receive an order.
Once fulfillment is completed, supported order updates can be sent back to Nordstrom, including:
- shipment confirmation,
- carrier information where supported,
- tracking numbers,
- other supported fulfillment details.
On the Nordstrom marketplace side #
M2E Mirakl Connect sends product, offer, pricing, stock, and order data from Magento or Adobe Commerce. Nordstrom validates this information in Mirakl before listings become active.
Nordstrom supports product variations, discounts, shipments, tracking, merchant cancellations, returns, invoices, and settlements.
Key product attributes #
Nordstrom requires complete product data before publication.
Core fields include:
- Product title
- Brand
- Shop SKU
- Age
- Gender
- Country of manufacture
- Main image
- Product description
- Details and care
- Variant group code
For products with variations, you may also need:
- Color description and color family
- NRF color code
- Size description
- NRF size code
- Vendor product number
Each variation should have accurate and unique size and color data.
Images and descriptions #
The main image should use JPG or PNG format, have a white or light gray background, and meet Nordstrom's image size requirements.
The first part of the main description appears close to the product title and price. You can separate additional product details with a pipe symbol so they display as individual points.
Offer and pricing rules #
Offers require a valid UPC and selling price.
Nordstrom also supports promotional pricing. The discount price must be lower than the regular price, and the start and end dates must be valid.
For quantity discounts, the minimum quantity must be higher than 1.
Shipping and fulfillment #
Sellers manage their own fulfillment, returns, pricing, and stock.
Carrier mapping is optional but helps keep tracking data consistent. Common carriers include UPS, USPS, FedEx, and DHL eCommerce.
