Walmart Shipping Templates

Once the template is created, you will be provided a Template ID. You will need to find your Fulfillment ID and Tax Code.

Your Template ID is found above the Shipping Template you've just created.

Your Fulfillment ID is listed as "ID" when logged into your Walmart Seller account. You will see the name of your company in the top left corner and directly under it will be "ID: #####".

Your Tax Code can be changed to best describe the items you're publishing. You can find more information on finding your correct tax code here.

If you're unsure of which Tax Code to use, Walmart recommends using the default Tax code of 2038710.

Limitation:

• Our system will not create brand new, never before seen, product listings on Walmart. Our system will create offerings for existing products.
• By default, the "Listing End Date" will be set to 1 year from the first time a listing is published. If you would like to change this "Listing End Date" then you can update this from the Advanced Config section when configuring your Walmart integration.

Order Operations

Shipping Mappings

REQUIRED

The determine what to populate in your Flxpoint Channel Shipping Text, in Walmart go to Settings > Shipping Profile > Seller Fulfilment > Shipping Templates.

The shipping text is NOT all capitalized as shown on Walmart.

Get Orders

SUPPORTED

The Get orders operation retrieves any new Orders from the Walmart that have not yet been imported and will send back Acknowledgements for those Orders if needed.

Limitation
You must configure your Shipping Mappings prior to running Get Orders for Orders to import properly.

Two Day Shipping
All Walmart resellers who wish to provide two day shipping must apply and be approved prior to offering it on product sales

My Orders are not importing, what should I do?

The most likely cause of this issue relates to the order status on your store, and the order status we're looking for based on our configurations. If you are unsuccessful at importing an order; double check the status of the order, and ensure it matches your configurations for this operation.

The second possibility is that the order is "too old" for us to import. Under "Configure Settings" you also have the option of selecting the date range of orders we can import. If you set this limit to 7 days, consider checking the non-imported orders creation date and increasing the number under the "Get Orders Created within the last X Days" configuration.

Sync Orders

SUPPORTED

The Sync order operation syncs any changes that have been made to Order(s) since the last time a sync was performed. The most common use of this operation is to update tracking information to an existing order.
