Background

ShipWorks connects directly to your Walmart Seller Center account via the Walmart API. With one click, or on an automated schedule, your orders are downloaded from Walmart. As soon as you process a shipment, ShipWorks communicates the updated order status, shipping method and tracking information back to Walmart.

This article will guide you through how to add Walmart Seller Center to The Hub. For information on how to connect Walmart in the ShipWorks Software, please see Walmart: Add a Store to ShipWorks.

If you already have Walmart connected to ShipWorks and need assistance with updating the store connection to use the new Walmart API, please see our article, Walmart: Update Connection to oAuth.

First Things First

We recommend that you run the latest version of the ShipWorks software. This allows you to access the latest tools and features and ensures the steps in this article will work for you. For assistance with checking your version of ShipWorks or with upgrading to the latest version, please see the How Do I Upgrade ShipWorks help article.

Walmart Seller Center Only

ShipWorks connects to Walmart Seller Center. Walmart Supplier Center is not supported.

Before connecting Walmart Seller Center to ShipWorks, there are a few things you will need:

  • Walmart connects to ShipWorks using your Walmart Seller Center account credentials (Client ID: and Client Secret:). If you have previously created a ShipWorks Client ID and Client Secret, follow the steps in this Walmart guide to obtain your account credentials. Otherwise, you will be guided through creating these in the following steps.

  • You will need to be logged in to The ShipWorks Hub.

The Process

Connection Steps in Walmart

  1. Log in to the Walmart Developer Center.

    Walmart Login Credentials

    Use the same credentials you would use to access Walmart Seller Central.

  2. Click on + Add a New Key For A Solution Provider.

Walmart in the ShipWorks Software

Sync Walmart with the ShipWorks Software

After successfully adding Walmart as an order source in the ShipWorks Hub it is recommended that you exit the ShipWorks client software and relaunch it. This will force the ShipWorks software to resync with the Hub so that it can configure the Walmart connection and download orders.

After syncing with the Walmart order source in The Hub:

  • The new Walmart store will be added in Manage > Stores .

    When editing the store in the ShipWorks software, the store address, manual store settings, and store connection are grayed out and must be edited in The Hub.

  • Filters will be created in the ShipWorks software for orders downloaded from Walmart.

    Walmart filters shown in the ShipWorks software.

  • Walmart orders will be downloaded into The Hub and into the ShipWorks software. It may take up to 15 minutes for your Walmart orders to appear.
