Reading time: 3 min
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.com. 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.  

Update by template

Step 1 – Get started

Log in to your Seller Center account and navigate to your Catalog. Select Update items and choose Update with file from the dropdown menu.  

 

Step 2 – Download & complete the template 

Select Show Walmart templates and choose Update all attributes. Select the product categories that best fit the items you want to add, then choose Next. Then, choose up to 20 product types per product category. Once you’ve chosen your product types, choose Next.  Finally, choose your preferred fulfillment option. When you’re ready, select the Download button in the bottom right corner of the page. 
In the template, you’ll provide the SKU, product type and product identifier. You can remove the rest of the attributes or update them based on your needs.

Step 3 – Upload the Template  

Once you’ve filled out the template, you can upload it by navigating back to your Catalog in Seller Center, then select Update Items. Select the Update all attributes file type and your preferred fulfillment type, then upload your file. Updates can appear as quickly as 15 minutes or can take up to four hours. 

Update by GTIN 

Step 1 – Get Started 

Log in to your Seller Center account and navigate to the Items dashboard. At the top right, select Update items and choose Update with GTINs from the dropdown menu.  


Step 2 – Provide GTINs  

Add up to 5,000 GTINs into the field using commas to separate each value and choose a fulfillment method. Next, select Create File and an editable template will be available in the Downloads tab on the Activity Feed dashboard. Once you’ve downloaded your pre-populated file, you can make updates in the template as needed. 

Notes

You can only enter GTINs for 20 product types at a time. 

Step 3 – Upload the template 

Once you’ve appropriately filled out the template, you can upload it by navigating back to the Catalog page in Seller Center, then select Update Items. Select the Update all attributes file type and your preferred fulfillment type, then upload your file. Updates can appear as quickly as 15 minutes or can take up to four hours.
