Walmart Simplifies WFS Setup: Faster Listings, Less Hassle, More Sales for Sellers!

Walmart is making it easier for sellers using Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) to set up, convert, or update their items. This update simplifies the process, reduces unnecessary data entry, and speeds up time-to-listing. If you’ve been frustrated by filling multiple GTIN fields or redundant packaging details, this is great news for your workflow.

What’s New

• No more Orderable GTIN or Each GTIN fields for WFS item setup.

• Most Case/Inner Pack/Pallet fields removed, reducing complexity.

• Sellers now only need to enter item quantity, weight, and dimensions once for setup.

This streamlined workflow applies when you’re:

1. Adding new WFS items

2. Converting existing Marketplace items to WFS

3. Updating product details for WFS fulfillment

Why This Update Matters

Before this change, WFS sellers often had to provide redundant details like multiple GTINs, packaging hierarchies, and case pack information - sometimes leading to listing errors or delays.

Now, Walmart is prioritizing seller efficiency by:

• Reducing time spent on item setup.

• Minimizing potential errors due to duplicate or unnecessary fields.

• Allowing sellers to focus on inventory readiness and faster fulfillment rather than admin work.

This update directly improves your operational workflow, helping you list and fulfill faster; key for competitive success on Walmart Marketplace.
