Frequently asked questions

Do Walmart-fulfilled items have specific item setup requirements?

Yes. For all Walmart-fulfilled items, you're required to provide additional information, such as country of origin, dimensions and trade item configuration. This allows us to store and fulfill items on your behalf. Walmart-fulfilled items that contain potentially hazardous components or chemicals will also require additional screening. Our compliance review helps us properly store, handle, transport and/or dispose of potentially hazardous materials.

Do items within the Lawn Chemicals and Live Plants categories have item setup restrictions?

How do I update an item’s content?

You may be able to suggest changes to your item’s content after you’ve finished setting up your item. 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. Learn more in How to update content: Overview.
