For Retailers

The GLN (Global Location Number) is a number from the GS1 system that enables the unique and non-overlapping identification of any type of location, f.e. your store(s). It is assigned by the GS1 organizations and can be purchased there. If you have a GLN but don't know it, you can search for it here.

If you do not have your own GLN yet, select "I do not have my own GLN and would like to use a Fashion Cloud GLN" when creating a store. Please inform your brands about your Fashion Cloud GLN, should you choose this option.

For Brands

  1. If you have booked an order product (Reorder, Preorder, Clara), you must save the GLNs of your retailers in your system. EDI-capable retailers have a GLN, which is usually already known to you. If a retailer does not yet have a GLN, we will provide him with a free Fashion Cloud GLN.

  2. A retailer creates the GLN when creating their store(s) on Fashion Cloud. Without the GLN, a retailer cannot place an order on the Fashion Cloud platform or in the Clara App.

  3. If the retailer has already created their store(s) on Fashion Cloud at the time of the access request, you will be informed of the GLN in the access request by email. If the retailer already has access to your brand(s) and has subsequently created the store(s), you will be informed of the GLN in a separate email. In addition, the GLNs of the retailers can be viewed via the Fashion Cloud platform under: Retailers → Access Control → My Retailers → Retailer Information.

  4. In the next step, check whether the GLN of the retailer stored with Fashion Cloud is saved with you. Otherwise, it must be added.

  5. Please enter the colleagues who are responsible for maintaining the customer data as recipients for the email notifications via the gear icon on the top right. Afterwards select 'Notifications' in the sub menu and click on 'New Notification'.

  6. On this page you will be able to search for all GLNs of retailers that are stored in Fashion Cloud's system. You can also search for the name of a retailer to see the connected GLNs. In case you do not have the password to access the page, please reach out to your Account Manager at Fashion Cloud.
