How to Configure Walmart Shipping Templates

As of April 2021 Walmart is requiring sellers to leverage Shipping Templates  to manage product shipping services. By default, Walmart will apply your default shipping template to your entire catalog.


To set a default shipping template and fulfillment center in SureDone, copy the IDs from the Walmart Seller Center and enter them into the SureDone Walmart settings interface. Note: both a Shipping Template ID and Fulfillment Center ID are required to send shipping templates to Walmart via integration.


TABLE OF CONTENTS


Setting Your Walmart Shipping Template ID in SureDone


  1. Navigate to Settings > Shipping Templates



  2. Make sure you are viewing the shipping template you want to use as your default in SureDone - which does not have to be the default shipping template in Walmart (you can follow the directions here to add or modify your shipping template). While we've blurred out the number on this image for privacy, the number next to ID is the shipping template ID you need to fill in on SureDone.



  3. Go to Channels>Walmart>Settings in SureDone and refresh the page. This should import the shipping template ID automatically into SureDone and you can select the Default Shipping Template ID as needed and Save changes.


4. Continue to the next section to get your Fulfillment Center ID

Using Multiple Walmart Shipping Templates and Walmart Fulfillment Centers


For more advanced use cases where you need to support multiple shipping templates and/or fulfillment centers across your catalog, you may create custom field for the Walmart shipping template ID and fulfillment center ID and map them under Channels>Walmart>Manage Fields


See below screenshot to search and map "shippingTemplateId" field for Walmart.

During listing creation, SureDone will send the values for the fields mapped to Shipping Template ID and Fulfillment Center ID, and fall back to the values in the settings as a default. If you need to update or refresh the shipping template on Walmart, be sure to include values for the shipping template in your requests or trigger the action "relist" for a full refresh.
