Reading time: 5 min
Overview

If you already have seller-fulfilled items in your catalog, you can quickly convert them to Walmart-fulfilled within Seller Center.

Pro tip

Make sure your items don’t have errors, are not WFS prohibited products and that the offer end date is in the future. 

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 trade item configuration. Once all the required fields are complete, select Submit.

If there are no issues, your item will be published. To track progress and check for errors, go to the Uploads tab in the Activity Feed.

If your item has a hazardous material, it may be held for a compliance review. To check for compliance holds, go to the Pending review page.

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.

Next, scroll to the end of the row and select the 3 dots. Choose Fulfill with WFS. In the actions bar, select More actions and then Convert to WFS.

Step 2 – Download template

Go to the Activity Feed page and view the Downloads tab. Download the template and fill in the blank fields. For best practices and tips on filling out the spec, view Full Setup Template for WFS.

Step 3 – Upload template

Once you’ve filled out the template, go back to Catalog and select Add items. You can drop your file under the Upload a spreadsheet heading or select the file from your computer.

Step 4 – Pre-validation

If there are no issues, your item will be published in as quickly as 15 minutes or up to 4 hours. Our system will also check for errors — such as missing attributes, wrong data type, invalid check digit — within a few seconds. If there are any, the error report will automatically download in your browser. 

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 in the Activity Feed. To track progress and check for errors, go to the Uploads tab in the Activity Feed.

Notes

Your items can’t be published if required or conditionally required fields are missing. Modifying the data in the first 6 rows, changing the tab names and more may also lead to data errors. Go to Troubleshoot item setup errors to learn more.

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 upload the template, you can track your item setup status. Go to the Activity Feed and view the Uploads tab.

  • Feed ID: The reference ID for your template, generated during upload
  • Errors: Select the eye icon in this field to see what the errors are.
  • Status: Processed means that items have been successfully set up. Error means that there’s inaccurate data, or the item is being held for a compliance review.
  • Feed Type: You can filter by WFS Convert to see only items that are being converted.
  • Submitted: The number of items that were submitted in the template
  • Processed: The number of items that successfully processed
  • Pending: The number of items that are still being processed
  • Error Report: Download the error report.

If there are any errors, make sure to fix them and resubmit in the Downloads tab of the Activity Feed. Check out Troubleshoot item setup errors and Troubleshoot WFS item feed errors for help.

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