Walmart Channel

Newclear supports Walmart Marketplace integration, allowing you to list products, sync inventory, and import orders from Walmart.com directly into your Newclear dashboard.

Prerequisites​

  • An approved Walmart Marketplace seller account
  • Walmart Marketplace API credentials (Client ID and Client Secret)
  • Products that meet Walmart's content quality requirements

Getting Walmart API Credentials​

  1. Log into your Walmart Seller Center at seller.walmart.com
  2. Go to Settings → API Credentials
  3. Click Generate API Keys (or copy existing Client ID and Client Secret)
  4. Note both the Client ID and Client Secret

Connecting Walmart to Newclear​

  1. Go to Channel Listings → + Add Channel → Walmart
  2. Enter:
    • Client ID — From your Walmart Seller Center
    • Client Secret — From your Walmart Seller Center
  3. Click Connect
  4. Newclear validates the credentials against the Walmart API

Category Mapping​

Walmart requires every product to be assigned to a Walmart item category. Newclear's category mapping tool lets you map your internal categories to Walmart's taxonomy:

  1. Go to Channel Listings → Walmart → Settings → Category Mapping
  2. Your Newclear categories are listed on the left
  3. For each, select the matching Walmart category from the dropdown
  4. Save the mappings

Common Walmart Categories​

  • Furniture → Furniture > Living Room Furniture
  • Electronics → Electronics > TV & Video
  • Clothing → Clothing > Men's Clothing

Correct category mapping is required for listings to be accepted by Walmart.

Listing Products on Walmart​

  1. Open a product in Newclear
  2. Click List on Walmart
  3. Configure required fields:
    • Walmart Item Name — Up to 200 characters
    • Short Description — Required by Walmart
    • Key Features — Bullet points (up to 5)
    • Brand — Must match Walmart's brand registry
    • Category — Auto-populated from your mapping
    • Tax Code — Walmart product tax category
  4. Click Submit to Walmart

Walmart reviews new listings before they go live (typically 24–72 hours).

Inventory Sync​

  • Inventory updates in Newclear are pushed to Walmart after every change
  • When a Walmart sale occurs, the order is imported and stock decremented in Newclear
  • Walmart requires inventory to be updated in whole units only (no fractional quantities)

Price Sync​

  • Newclear price → Walmart's item price
  • Promotional prices from Newclear's Promotions Engine sync to Walmart

Order Import​

Walmart orders are pulled into Newclear with source = "Walmart":

  • Orders include customer name and shipping address
  • Fulfillment status updates and tracking numbers can be pushed back to Walmart
  • Tracking must be submitted to Walmart within their required timeframe to avoid late shipment penalties

  • Valid Tracking Rate > 99%

Failure to meet these metrics can result in listing removal or account suspension.
