Overview
Understanding Foot Locker integration
Who this is for: Footwear, apparel and accessory vendors shipping to Foot Locker service centers and stores in the US and Canada, and the EDI, logistics and accounts receivable teams that support them.
Foot Locker publishes its US and Canada vendor requirements in the Vendor Standards Manual, a set of numbered sections on its corporate site. The sections we read carry dates from October 2025 to September 2026. Section 2 lists the EDI documents. Foot Locker sends the 816 store list, 820 remittance, 850 purchase order, 860 change and 997, and receives the 810 invoice, 856 ship notice, 870 order status and 997. All of its transactions follow VICS guidelines.
The deadlines are tight. For shipments to its distribution centers, the 856 is required. The manual asks for the ASN within one hour after the shipment leaves your facility, and it must reach Foot Locker while the freight is in transit. An ASN problem that delays unloading costs $250 an hour. EDI invoices are due by 8:00 PM Eastern the day after shipping, and late or failed invoices are charged $100 or 30%, whichever is less.
Direct-to-store shipments require EDI, with one ASN per carton. This guide records what the manual's sections say and when we checked them, and lists what we could not confirm.
