Overview

In this guide, learn how to complete your Partner Profile. You must provide your company's contact details that be used for various communications from Walmart.ca. Follow the instructions below to enter or update this information.

Manage Contacts 

The Manage Contacts tab allows you to add, edit, or delete contacts from your organization that handle different types of issues. 

Contact Types

 Business Management Contact

This person (s) will be in charge and driver of all business communication between the seller and Walmart business teams. Any communication (related to Account Management, Performance Operations, Merchandising, and Sales Growth efforts etc.) that is coming from Walmart to sellers will be channelled through this contact.

Customer Service Contact

This contact will be responsible for communication with customers and Walmart Customer Care as post-purchase issues and questions arise. Primary customer service contact will be considered as the key contact for Walmart Customer Care agents to reach out to.  

Item Content Contact

This person (s) will be in charge of all item attributes (Images, Short description, Long description, Dimensions, video, etc.) for products sold at Walmart. Any information regarding the item attributes from Walmart to seller will go through this contact.

Fulfillment / Returns Contact

This person (s) will be in charge of shipping decisions within the company including changes to carriers and shipping methods being used for Walmart Marketplace that impact delivery performance. Any shipping/fulfillment related communication will be directed to this contact. Any Returns related queries or issues will also be directed to this contact.

Partner PerformanceContact

This person (s) will be in charge of all partner performance related issues that may occur (such as post-order fulfillment, Marketplace alarms, sales anomalies, and pricing errors etc.). Any information regarding the performance from Walmart to seller will go through this contact.

Notes

Walmart uses encryption to mask customer and seller email addresses. All communication will take place via encrypted email addresses to improve security.

Add Contacts

We've added your Primary contact on file to all contact types to start. However, if you had to add contacts for the first time, follow the steps below:

  1. Select Add Contact in the box to the right of the contact description.
  2. To add additional contacts, select Add Contact under the contact description. 
You will be prompted to fill out the following for all contacts:
  • First and last name
  • Phone number - You can add different phone numbers for a specific contact who operates in different markets
  • Email address
  • Alternate email (optional)

3. If you have more than one Customer Service Contact, you can choose to designate a Primary Contact by selecting the checkbox Make primary contact. 

4. Enter the required information for the individual contact and select Save Contact.

If you wish to include a distribution list as a contact:

  1. Select the radio button next to the Distribution List option. Distribution lists are helpful for issues, such as customer service escalations, that require the notification of several individuals. 
  2. You will then be prompted to enter an email address.
  3. Once you've entered the email, click Save Distribution Email.

Once a contact has been added, it will appear under the contact type. 

Add or Edit a Primary Contact

Sellers can designate a Primary contact when they have multiple contacts for a contact type.

Add or edit a Primary Contact:

  1. Either add or edit a new contact type.
  2. Fill out the name, email, and phone number and select the checkbox next to Make primary contact.
  3. Select Save Contact
Pro tip

You cannot set a distribution list as a Primary Contact. 
Once a contact is marked as a Primary contact, a information icon appears to the far right of the contact details. Only one designated Primary contact per contact type is permitted at a time. 

Delete a Primary Contact 

If you want to remove a Primary Contact due to organizational changes within your business, you must first designate another contact as the Primary. You cannot delete a Primary contact without designating a replacement Primary contact.  

  1. Edit or add a contact that you want to make Primary
  2. Select the checkbox next to Make primary contact
  3. Select Save Contact.
The new selection replaces the original Primary Contact. Once you’ve removed the primary designation from the previous contact, you can delete it.

Edit, Duplicate or Delete Contacts 

  • You can edit an existing contact by selecting the pencil icon under the Actions column. You can only edit the Name, Phone Number, and Alternate Email. 
  • If the same person handles multiple issues for your organization, you can duplicate a contact by clicking the ID Card icon and selecting the other contact type you want this contact to be associated with. 
  • You can delete contacts by selecting the red trash can icon. Since at least one contact is required, if you have only one contact, you will only see options to Edit or Duplicate the contact. If you try to delete a contact that has been duplicated for other contact types, you will need to choose which contact types you're removing it from. 
Notes

 If you have an individual contact and a distribution list as your contacts, you will need to add another individual contact before you are able to delete the original individual contact. 

Maintain Contacts

You are responsible for adding and updating your contacts regularly. Failure to do so may result in your company missing important updates from Walmart. Partner Support cannot make updates on your behalf. Only users with Admin or Read/Write access can make changes to these contacts. If you do not have the necessary permissions, please contact your company's administrator and ask them to update your level of access.
