How to create Walmart Templates & Template Rules

To bulk edit multiple listings with similar attributes, you can create and apply Templates and Template Rules. This will automatically populate a predefined format of listing attributes.

This article walks you through creating Walmart Templates and Template Rules. More details can be found below.

Templates

The steps to create a template are available HERE. This section explains each type of template used on Walmart.

Title & Description Template

The template follows the LitCommerce Title & Description Template general structure. Check out this article for more details.

Pricing Template

This template features two main options to modify and update price data:

• Price Adjustment and Price Rounding: Follow the basic Price Rules Options. You can add multiple adjustments to modify your Walmart listings’ prices based on the Main Store products.

Use the Price Preview tool to review how the configured price rules take effect.

• Price override: Manually select a Main Store Attribute from All Products or enter a numeric value to display.

Additionally, enable the MSRP toggle to modify the manufacturer's suggested retail price. This feature also has two options: Price Adjustment & Price Rounding, and Price override.

Applying the Pricing Template will override the price rules in the Channel Settings.

Category Template

You can find the following main sections in this template.

Primary Category

Search using keywords and select a suitable category from the available list.

Once a category is selected, the Variant Attribute Names field will appear below it. Refer HERE for more details about Variant Attribute Names mapping.

The Variant Attribute Names field is required for variant listings. It allows Walmart to establish parent-child product relationships in their system.

If your items are simple listings, skip the Variant Attribute Names field.

Required Fields

This section appears after you specify a Primary Category, containing all the necessary information you must provide for your listings.

Required fields are marked with the red asterisk (*).

You can enter fixed values in these fields to apply them to all listings using the template.

Alternatively, map them with the Main Store attributes using Select Attribute for auto-population of data.

Optional Fields

This section allows you to add supplementary information specific to the selected Primary Category.

Click Add More Fields to choose the fields that you want to include.

Shipping Template

This template lets you apply your shipping settings from Walmart Seller Center directly to your listings. It consists of the following:

Fulfillment Lag Time

This refers to the number of business days needed to process and pack an order before handing it over to a carrier. It can affect your shipping performance, listing visibility, and seller metrics.

Enter a suitable number in this field to specify the handling time.

The standard fulfillment lag time is 0-1 business day. However, Walmart allows sellers to request a category-based Lag Time Exemption, which extends the allowed processing time to 2 business days or more. Find more details on the process HERE.

Weight

You can provide your items’ weight using this section. Either enter a fixed value to apply across all listings using the template or use Select Attribute to map the corresponding Main Store attribute for automatic data entry.

Ensure that the corresponding weight unit is also selected.

Walmart Shipping Template

This section defines information related to the domestic and international shipping settings of your Walmart listings. Choose a suitable template for it.

Shipping Templates must be set up directly in your Walmart Seller Center before being selected in LitCommerce.

Walmart Seller Fulfillment

When fulfilling orders through your own fulfillment center, you can add seller-managed fulfillment centers in the Walmart Seller Center.

This section in LitCommerce includes Walmart Center and Walmart 3PL, which define information related to the entire fulfillment process of your Walmart listings. Choose a suitable option for each field.

Walmart Seller Fulfillment must be configured directly in your Walmart Seller Center before being selected in LitCommerce.

By default, LitCommerce does not import WFS (Walmart Fulfillment Services) and 3PL (Walmart 3PL - Third-Party Logistics) orders. Enable the corresponding order sync options in Channel Settings to manage them through the tool.

Template Rules

The Walmart Template Rules follow the same instructions as the Template Rule.

By following these steps, you can create and manage the templates and template rules on the LitCommerce Walmart channel to help ensure your listings are completed and properly structured.
