Integrating Walmart.com as a Channel Partner
Import orders placed on Walmart.com into your UltraCart account. The channel partner integration will also send back updates to Walmart.com for shipped orders, including tracking information.
Please note: This integration does not perform product listing, you'll do that from Walmart.com
Navigation
Main Menu → Configuration → (Middle Menu) Integrations → "Channel Partners" (Section) → Walmart.com
Integration Steps
Configuring the Walmart.com Settings
In order for UltraCart to connect to your Walmart.com account, you'll need to configure the following fields:
Configure the following two credentials:
- Walmart.com Client ID
- Walmart.com Client Secret
You will obtain these credentials from Walmart.com as shown below.
From Walmart.com click on Settings, then scroll down to API and click on Consumer IDs & Private Keys
Next click on the Walmart Developer Portal button at the bottom of the page.
The next screen will have your Client ID and Client Secret Key as shown below.
In addition to the credentials the following additional settings appear:
| Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Walmart.com Client ID | This is your Walmart account Client ID. | Yes |
| Walmart.com Client Secret | This is your Walmart Client Secret. | Yes |
| Don't process orders placed before (MM/DD/YYYY) | Any order prior to the configured date will not be imported into UltraCart. | No, but recommended |
| Screen Branding Theme Code | For merchant processing orders through the legacy Screen Branding Themes. | No |
| Ignore Specific Walmart.com Item Ids (one per line) | Configure Walmart items that should not be processed for import into Ultracart. | No |
| Ignore Specific Walmart.com Order Ids (one per line) | Configuring any Walmart orders that should not be imported into UltraCart. | No |
| Import orders as purchase orders | When enabled, forces all orders to be imported as a Purchase Order, regardless of the payment method used within Walmart.com when the purchase was made. | No |
| Send Emails Directly | (We do not recommend selecting this. Most merchants should let Walmart.com send the notices from the information UltraCart feeds Walmart.com.) | No |
Shipping Method Mapping
Next, you'll need to specify how UltraCart should map the Walmart.com shipping method name to your UltraCart store. UltraCart will perform a shipping method calculation based upon the methods you select below. So for instance if you select three available shipping methods for standard, UltraCart will calculate which of these methods is available for each Walmart.com order that comes through and pick the one that has the top priority and then least expensive one if the priority is not specified. Your preferred method should have a priority of one, then two, etc.
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: I am integrating Walmart.com as a channel partner. I don't see a Walmart tab in the item editor, why not?
Answer: Since Ultracart is not performing product listings, there is no need for a tab of the field mapping. Please log into your Walmart.com account to manage your products.
Question: We recieved a error about a item mismatch, so we created the missing items in Ultracart. How do I resend the order transmission?
Answer: UltraCart automatically retries sending the pending order transmissions on an hourly basis.
