Introduction to Walmart Sync & Link Listings Integration
This guide helps you set up the Sync & Link Listings integration for Walmart on Flxpoint. It ensures that changes in price, quantity, or status of your listings are updated on Walmart, maintaining accurate and up-to-date listings across platforms. Let’s get started!
The Walmart Sync & Link Listings integration connects your Flxpoint system to Walmart to:
- Update price and quantity on Walmart listings based on your Flxpoint catalog.
- Link Flxpoint products to existing Walmart listings using UPC or SKU.
- Support delisting products to manage availability.
The integration follows a structured process to sync and link listings with Walmart:
-
Linking: For existing listings, Flxpoint uses GET on the endpoint
items?nextCursor=*to retrieve SKU and UPC data. -
Price/Quantity Sync: Updates price and quantity by submitting to
feeds?feedType=INVENTORYfor inventory andfeeds?feedType=PRICEfor pricing. - Acknowledgement: Receives an Acknowledgement ID after each feed submission.
- Processing Report: Downloads the feed processing report to check for errors; if no errors, marks inventory/price as synced.
-
Delisting: To delist, hits the endpoint
items/{sku}with a single SKU per call to remove the listing. - Execution: Runs manually via "Run Sync" or on a schedule via "Adjust Schedule."
Note: Ensure your Walmart API credentials are correctly configured to avoid retrieval or update failures.
Customize how your listings are synced with these settings:
- Enable Sync Listings: Turn on to synchronize pricing and quantity with Walmart.
- Linking Identifier: Choose UPC or SKU to link Flxpoint products to Walmart listings.
- Fulfillment Lag Time: Specify the number of days between order and shipment (required for Walmart Canada).
- Auto Delist When Out of Stock: Enable to automatically delist products that are out of stock.

- 1 Enable Sync Listings: Go to the Walmart channel settings, find "Sync Listings," and toggle it on.
- 2 Configure Linking Identifier: Select UPC or SKU as the identifier to link Flxpoint products to Walmart listings.
- 3 Set Fulfillment Lag Time: Provide the lag time for Walmart Canada (number of days between order and shipment).
- 4 Enable Auto Delist: Toggle on "Auto Delist When Out of Stock" to automatically delist out-of-stock products.
- 5 Create a Mapping Template: Use "Manage Mapping" to define which fields to sync (see Mapping Fields section).
- 6 Run the Integration: Start manually with "Run Sync" or schedule via "Adjust Schedule." Monitor progress using Flxpoint logs.
- The mapping screen is labeled “Flxpoint → Walmart” under “Sync Listings.”
- Buttons: Cancel and Save Mapping.
- Columns: Left (Flxpoint fields), Right (Walmart fields).
Mapping templates control which Flxpoint fields are synced with Walmart. Below are the fields you can map, with examples and purposes:
Walmart Sync & Link Listings Mappings
| Field | Maps To | Example | Purpose | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SKU | Walmart Variant: SKU | ABC123 | Links the Flxpoint listing to the Walmart product (from Flxpoint Listing Variant: SKU) | Required |
| Item Price | Walmart Variant: Item Price | 50.00 | Updates the selling price of the product on Walmart (from Flxpoint Listing Variant: List Price) | Optional |
| Quantity | Walmart Variant: Quantity | 100 | Updates the stock level of the product on Walmart (from Flxpoint Listing Variant: Quantity) | Optional |
Available Source Fields
Flxpoint provides fields under categories like:

Walmart Integration: Connects to your Walmart Marketplace store using endpoints like
items?nextCursor=*to retrieve listings andfeeds?feedType=PRICE/INVENTORYto update price and inventory. Connection settings are configured through API credentials. - Product Visibility: Does not support hiding or unhiding products. Walmart requires delisting to manage visibility, and delisted products must be republished manually.
Tip: Use the “Auto Delist When Out of Stock” feature to manage visibility, and test with a small batch of listings to ensure mapping accuracy.
If you encounter issues:
- Sync Not Updating: Check the mapping template to ensure fields like price and quantity are enabled.
- Delisting Not Working: Verify the SKU is correct and the product exists on Walmart. Note: Auto-delisted items need to be republished to become listed again.
- Auto-Delist Not Triggering: Ensure the "Auto Delist When Out of Stock" option is enabled and the product’s quantity is zero. Use override job to un-retire if needed.
- Sync Not Running: Confirm the sync schedule or run manually with "Run Sync." Check Flxpoint logs for errors.

Conclusion
With this integration, you can efficiently sync and link listings between Flxpoint and Walmart, ensuring your pricing, quantity, and status are always up-to-date while managing availability with the auto-delist feature.
Publish Listings
Supported | Walmart - Publish Listings
Introduction to Walmart Publish Listings Integration
This guide helps you set up the Publish Listings integration for Walmart on Flxpoint. It enables you to create and publish channel listings directly from your Flxpoint catalog to Walmart. Walmart Canada now accepts product data via the current JSON item specification, and Walmart may auto-assign the final category based on the product details it receives.
This integration allows you to push your Flxpoint catalog data to Walmart as listings, simplifying the process of getting your products live on the channel:
- Create new listings on Walmart using product data from your Flxpoint catalog.
- Map Flxpoint product fields to Walmart fields for accurate listing details, ensuring compliance with Walmart’s taxonomy.
- Update inventory and shipping templates for ongoing operations.
- When sending to Walmart Canada, rely on Walmart’s own category assignment if the marketplace decides to place the product in a more relevant category.
The integration follows a structured process to publish listings to Walmart:
- Authentication: Uses basic auth for secure access.
-
Feed Submission: Submits product feed to the endpoint
feeds?feedType=MP_ITEMfor the US orfeeds?feedType=itemfor Canada, using JSON for both. Canada uses Walmart CA’s current JSON feed specification. - Acknowledgement: Receives an Acknowledgement ID after posting the feed.
-
Processing Report: Downloads the feed processing report from
feeds/{ackID}to check for errors. - Listing Confirmation: Marks products as listed if no errors are found in the report and saves the SKU as the external listing ID.
-
Inventory Update: Updates inventory using the endpoint
feeds?feedType=inventory, retrieves a new Acknowledgement ID, and marks inventory as synced if no errors occur. -
Shipping Template Update: If a shipping template is configured, updates it via
feeds?feedType=SKU_TEMPLATE_MAP. - Execution: Processes products in batches of 1000 and runs manually via "Run Sync" or on a schedule via "Adjust Schedule."
Note: Listings may take up to 24 hours to appear on Walmart after submission. For Walmart Canada, use the updated JSON-based publish to avoid the “invalid category” response.
Customize how your listings are published with these settings:
- Enable Publish Listings: Turn on to create and publish listings to Walmart.
- Shipping Template ID: Provide a Walmart shipping template ID (optional, defaults to account settings).
- Fulfillment ID: Specify a Walmart fulfillment ID (optional).

- Shipping Cost: Optionally set a uniform shipping cost for all products (overridden by the shipping template if configured).
- Remove Free Shipping: Toggle to disable free shipping if needed.
- Ship Method and Region: Select the shipping method and region for the listings.
- Product ID Overrides: Enable SKU or UPC overrides to update existing Walmart listings (do not enable both).
- Category Mapping: Category 2 (SubCategory) should still match a valid value from Walmart’s taxonomy. However, Walmart Canada may overwrite the category you send and place the product in the best match automatically.
Current Walmart behavior: Walmart may adjust the final category on the marketplace side, especially for Walmart Canada. Send the closest category you have, but if the live item shows a different one, it can be accepted as normal.
Follow these steps to configure the Publish Listings integration:

Walmart can adjust the category you send and expects a core set of attributes (images, title, brand, condition, description, key features, etc.). Send the best category and attributes you have; Walmart CA may still place the product in a different, valid category.
Category Taxonomy Reference:
Walmart Category Taxonomy (Spreadsheet) — validate required aspects before publishing.
Tip: Map
Listing Variant: SubCategory ➜ Walmart Variant: SubCategory. If Walmart CA changes it on their side, you don’t have to fix your mapping unless the item is actually rejected.
- Updated format for Walmart Canada: product publish now uses JSON for Canada as well. Older item XML for Walmart CA may be rejected.
- Batch Processing: Uploads products in batches of 1000, which may take up to 24 hours to appear.
- Compliance Requirements: Ensure required fields like UPC/GTIN, weight, and SubCategory are present.
- Auto-classification: Walmart Canada can auto-assign a more relevant category; this is expected.
- Supported Features: Supports generic pricing & currency, weights & dimensions, images, categories, and overwriting.
Tip: If the product shows in Walmart Canada but with quantity 0, run the inventory/quantity feed in Flxpoint to send the stock levels.
-
Product Not Uploading to Store:
- Ensure item condition is New or Refurbished.
- Verify SubCategory (Category 2) matches Walmart’s taxonomy.
- Confirm required fields (Weight, Country Code, UPC/GTIN, Images, Manufacturer, Description, SubCategory) are not empty.
- Category looks different in Walmart: Walmart may reassign categories, especially for Walmart CA. No action needed if the item was accepted.
- Fields Not Publishing: Verify the field is enabled in the mapping template (e.g., Item Price, Quantity, SubCategory).
- Product published but quantity is 0 in Walmart Canada: run a Force/Inventory Sync from Flxpoint so Walmart receives the latest quantity.
- “Invalid category mapped” in Walmart Canada: republish using the current JSON feed and send the closest valid SubCategory from the taxonomy sheet.
Conclusion
With this integration, you can publish listings from your Flxpoint catalog to Walmart — including Walmart Canada using the JSON feed — and rely on Walmart to finalize the category when needed.
