Overview

In this guide, you’ll learn the various ways to apply Simplified Shipping Settings to your SKUs if you want to quickly make the switch from Shipping Templates or if you want to only  configure a few of your SKUs through Simplified Shipping Settings.

Pro tip

Before beginning this process, we recommend setting up your fulfillment center and adding inventory. 

Notes:

Simplified Shipping Settings is compatible with free and paid shipping, virtual packs and most domestic USPS, UPS and FedEx services. However, it doesn’t support Ship to Store items, international or freight shipping or third-party logistics services such as Flexport.


Apply Simplified Shipping Settings

Option 1 – Migrate items

If you use Shipping Templates to configure your shipping settings and want to use Simplified Shipping Settings instead, you can migrate all your eligible SKUs at once. Navigate to the Simplified Shipping Settings page in Seller Center and select Get started.

On the next page, confirm your fulfillment center locations and select Continue. Select your shipping method (rush, expedited, standard, value or freight) and carrier options for each shipping speed. Select Continue and review your settings on the next page. From the Apply to existing catalog section, select the checkbox for Apply to all eligible items from my manual templates.

You can also customize carrier methods by region. For example, you can use expedited carriers in some regions and ground carriers in other regions. Once you select Save and submit, Walmart will automatically migrate all of your eligible SKUs and settings from Shipping Templates to Simplified Shipping Settings.

Option 2 – Apply settings individually

To apply Simplified Shipping Settings to individual SKUs, navigate to your Catalog in Seller Center. You must have the Shipping template column present to apply shipping settings. Add this column by selecting it in the Columns configuration menu.

Then, locate the item you want to update and select the Shipping Template name under the Shipping template column for that item. Choose Simplified then Simplified shipping settings  and then Update to apply your new shipping settings.

Option 3 – Apply settings in bulk

If you want to apply Simplified Shipping Settings in bulk, navigate to your Catalog in Seller Center. Next, select the Update items  button and choose Update with file. From the Update with file dialog box, choose Modify item shipping settings. Complete the template including the SKU IDs in the first column and select the Simplified Shipping Settings option in the second column. 

Once you’ve completed the template, return to the Update with file dialog box. Then drag-and-drop or browse to your completed Modify Item shipping settings file to submit it.
