How to Sell on Walmart.com?

The process to sell on Walmart is simple and straight forwards, you simply need to apply and upon getting accepted you get the Walmart account and can easily start the automation work.

To get accepted, APPLY HERE

Utility of the Walmart extension:

Being an invitation-only platform, Walmart.com accepts only quality sellers who offer great products with greater after-sales service.

Therefore, mostly brands getting accepted to sell on Walmart, in general, have large number of SKUs which makes manual handling of all the upload, order accept, information changes a very hectic process. Following are the benefits of using Walmart Magento Integration:-

Clone Product Profiles for Hassle Free Uploading:

Profile base Product Upload -> The profile based approach makes uploading of new products hassle free. In this mechanism, a profile is created for a product type with all its attributes, Say Clothing – Size, Color, Fabric etc, – so whenever  merchant want to add new product of the same category, all he/she needs to do is map the product with existing profile.

Place Products at their Right Places

Walmart Category & Attribute mapping -> Another important task is that your product appear in correct category, if consumer electronic category product appears under clothing category, you won’t be getting any sales. Similarly, it’s possible that Same category can have different names on your store and Walmart. For example,  you sell Boots and have same category on your store but walmart don’t have any such category so you’ve to map BOOTS with Clothing, Shoes and Jewellery Category.

All the data in one-go at Walmart.com

Bulk Product Upload -> As aforementioned, uploading the product feed of thousands of products is too cumbersome a task if it’s to be done manually. Juggling between various categories, sub categories, just to create listing for the products in manual mode is a pain that sellers deserve to relieve from. This plugin exactly does that – employs mechanism that eradicates all these problems of sellers in one shot. With this plugin simply choose the products you want to offer on Walmart.com and upload them in one go. Not only this, map the product categories and attributes of items in Bulk with respective Walmart product categories and item attributes. Also, you can enter the value of inventory, barcodes, prices of the items in bulk through CSV upload method.

Manipulate Product Pricing

Custom Pricing -> For each of the products that you sell through Walmart.com, the Walmart.com takes their cut. It depends on the product-type and all have variable commission rates.

Therefore, you can modify the prices of items being offered at Walmart.com. With Product custom pricing you can increase the prices of an item by a fixed amount – price gets increased with the same amount or, through fixed percentage, the price gets increased by a fixed percentage.

All the changes in Real-time:

Real Time Updating -> It is quintessential that all the changes made at Magento Store are reflected on Walmart at earliest for they can cause pseudo losses which are difficult to measure.

Let’s say you create an offer on your store which you want to run on Walmart as well. But due to lack of real-time updating you may lose a customer who was searching for the similar products at Walmart.com. Therefore, the plugin synchronizes your Magento Store  – Product Information Change, Inventory status updates – or, receive orders from Walmart.com so whenever you make any changes in items they’re synchronized in real-time.

Win Buy Box with Walmart Repricer:

Buy Box Win: There are no ifs and buts that sale of any products maximizes if it appears in Buy Box. Getting appeared in Buy Box is like killing two sparrows with single arrow –   best deal for a particular product, but also establishes trust with buyers. The Walmart Repricer enables you to automate the pricing part and achieve at perfect price so that it wins you buy box for most of your products. Since it is a dynamic feature therefore in a case where someone overtakes your deal, the repricer again helps you win the deal, obviously if the revised pricing lies between the set of values provided by you.

Retire and Re-Inject Products without any hassle:

Hibernate and Activate: There could be many reasons for the sellers to not offer it on Walmart.com such as product can be seasonal, the seller no longer manufactures it or don’t want to sell at Walmart and others. So there comes the requirement to hibernate (they still are listed but not shown to customers) these products.The plugin lets you retire products which you no longer want to be shown at Walmart.com. You can choose all such products and upload it through CSV to retire them. Also, if the need arises, you can instantly re-inject them again. This comes handy as these products don’t go under review again.

Manage Partial Shipment:

One of the most exciting features of this plugin, sometimes sellers receive orders for which, they can fulfill only some part of it as other products can be out of stock. Earlier the entire order was canceled if the order is not fulfilled completely. But now with this plugin, sellers can also accept partial orders and ship the in-stock products. Rest of the order can be fulfilled later.

The CRONs implemented in this extension help to automate the process thereby keeping it up to date.

This extension interacts with Walmart Marketplace to integrate the synchronized product listing between the Magento and the Walmart retailers. After installing the extension, a merchant can create the Walmart Categories and the dependent attributes on the Magento store.

The process enables a merchant to configure the desired product category into Magento for automatic submission of the selected product to the same Category on Walmart.
