What to expect

You can convert almost any item you currently fulfill on your own to Walmart-fulfilled. Some exceptions apply, though, so make sure to check WFS product requirements and WFS prohibited products policy.

When you use WFS to fulfill items, you’ll keep the same information from your seller-fulfilled listing. However, we ask for extra information to safely store and handle your items. Here’s some, but not all, information you’ll need to convert an item:

• State restrictions
• Country of origin
• Dimensions and weight of the item, including packaging
• Hazardous material details, such as battery type and Safety Data Sheet

After submitting an item, we’ll review the item. If there are no errors, your item will be automatically published. If your item has hazardous materials, it will be held for up to 3 business days for a compliance review.

Convert a single item

Step 1 – Get started

Navigate to Catalog and select the item you want to convert to Walmart-fulfilled. Next, scroll to the end of the row and select the 3 dots. Choose Fulfill with WFS.

Step 2 – Item details and attributes

New sections and fields will appear for your Walmart-fulfilled item, such as compliance and dimensions. Once all the required fields are complete, select Submit. Then track the status to check for errors and compliance reviews.  

Convert multiple items

Step 1 – Get started

Navigate to Catalog and select all items you want to convert to Walmart-fulfilled. You can also filter by fulfillment type to find all seller-fulfilled items. In the actions bar, select More actions and then Convert to WFS.

Step 2 – Download template

Go to the Activity Feed page. From the Downloads tab, download the WFS convert template you just created. Fill in the blank fields with required information about your items. For best practices and tips on filling out the template, view Full setup template for WFS. 

Step 3 – Upload template

Once you’ve filled out the template, navigate to the Catalog page and select Add items. Select the Upload in bulk link located under Add thousands of items using a spreadsheet. Upload the completed template, then track the status to check for errors and compliance reviews.  

Our system will immediately check for common errors, such as missing fields, wrong data types and invalid check digits. If there are any, we’ll generate an error report for you to download.  In the report, you’ll see the number of errors and descriptions in columns A and B. The cells that contain errors will also be highlighted in yellow. Correct the errors in the report and reupload it.  

From Success Hub

Success Hub suggests items that could increase in sales if you convert to WFS. Here's how to convert suggested items:

1. In Success Hub, select the Fulfill with WFS button.
2. From the list of suggestions, select all items you want to convert. Then select Convert to WFS.
3. Go to Activity Feed to download the template.
4. Fill in the rest of the template.
5. To upload, go to the Catalog page. Select Update items, then choose the Update with file option.
6. Select Update all attributes as the template.
7. Select Walmart fulfilled (WFS) as the fulfillment type.
8. Upload the completed template.

Track status

After you submit an item, track the publishing status from the Uploads tab in the Activity Feed. If there are no issues, your item will be published within 24 hours. Look for these key columns in the table:

• Feed ID: This is the reference ID for your template, generated during upload. Include this feed ID in any Support cases.
• Errors: If your item has errors, you’ll see a number in this column. Select the number to view errors. You can then fix errors directly in Seller Center and resubmit the item.
• Status: The status shows the progress of your item in the system. Submitted means you sent in items. Pending means our system is still processing items. Processed means they’ve either been published or are waiting for compliance review on the Pending Review page. Error means there’s incorrect information that’s stopping the item from being published.
• Feed type: This describes the type of submission. You can filter by WFS Convert to see only items that are being converted.
• Error report: If you have several errors, you can download a spreadsheet to view all of them at once.

If your items have hazardous materials, they may be put on hold for up to 3 business days for a compliance review. Go to the Pending Review page for updates.

Troubleshoot item setup errors

If your item hasn’t been published yet, there may be errors you need to fix. Make sure to go to these pages:

• Check Activity Feed after you submit any item. If there are any issues, select the number in the Errors column to review or download a report from the Error report column. Then make changes and resubmit the items or template.
• Check Pending Review if your item contains a hazardous material or doesn’t have any errors on the Activity Feed. Select the Action Needed status to fix errors and resubmit.

This table lists the most common errors during WFS item setup and how to fix them. Some will only apply if you’re adding a single item, multiple items or using APIs.
