Frequently asked questions

What are the guidelines and requirements for imagery?

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’s provided by a brand owner or authorized reseller.

Items that can’t be updated will appear locked during the updating process. Learn more in How to update content: Overview.
