Backorder is an invitation-only program that allows you to offer an item that’s currently unavailable but will be back in stock within 30 days. In this guide, you’ll learn more about the Backorder Program.
How does it work?
To participate in the Backorder Program, you must be an active Walmart Marketplace seller with an account that meets the Seller Performance Standards. You must also honor the original purchase price you set when the customer purchased the order. Items can only be eligible for backorder listing if they’ll be back in stock within 30 days.
Additional guidelines
If approved, you must accept the Terms and Conditions and navigate to your Catalog in Seller Center to set up your backorder items. You can set up a backorder for an existing item or create a new one following the normal item setup.
