Introduce new items, accelerate updates, and manage PDP content at Kroger from one easy place.
Hello!
Kroger Own Brands is excited to announce the move to an improved platform for New Item Setup (NIS). Syndigo will be replacing Vendor Item Portal (VIP) as Kroger Own Brand’s platform for new item setup. It will provide streamlined collaboration between the content you are responsible for versus the PL Marketing team, making the requirements from you clearer and with far fewer attributes overall.
Please submit the form below. Submitting this now will ensure we have the right contact information for your company, and you are in the best position for the transition. We will provide information on training and migration over the next couple of months. If you have questions, feel free to provide them in the comments/question section of the form.
We are excited to move this initiative forward and appreciate your support in delivering great products to our Kroger shoppers!

Know your 1WorldSync VIP current contract end date. If you are up for renewal please ensure you provide notice to 1WorldSync so you are not auto-renewed and take measures to plan migration to Syndigo. Once you have Kroger Labeled Products syndication enabled in your Syndigo account, attend training and start submitting your own brand products for setup and maintenance!

There are many brands that have been using Kroger Item API since 2022. If you are already contracted with Syndigo for the Kroger connection, simply attend the Kroger our brands supplier training and have the feature enabled in your account. Complete the form here and some will get back with you.
The Syndigo platform for Kroger Labeled Products is available NOW. If your contract is up for renewal, please ensure you take appropriate actions to migrate to Syndigo. Simply fill out the form above to start the process of Syndigo account setup and training.
VIP will be phased out and sunset by end of this calendar year and Private Brands will be completely converted to the Syndigo platform. It is critical for Kroger’s private brand suppliers to transition to Syndigo upon their current contract renewal so to not experience long interruptions in setting or updating items. There will not be an alternate solution for Private Brands in 2026.

You will publish to the Kroger Syndigo GLN, which is 0011110000002
