Overview

If you need to update content for multiple items at once, you can upload a template or provide the item’s Global Trade Identification Numbers (GTINs) in Seller Center. 

 

However, because there may be multiple sellers providing content for the same item, you may not always be able to define which content will be displayed on Walmart.ca. Walmart will determine the best available content for items unless it is provided by a brand owner or authorized reseller. Items that cannot be updated will appear locked during the updating process. Keep reading to learn about each of these options below.
