Connect Walmart: create an API key

Before you start

Walmart's US, Canada and Mexico seller accounts are separate, so each country is its own channel with its own key. Connect only the countries you sell in.

Where in the app: Commerce → Channels → Add a channel → Walmart

1. 1

   Add the country

   Choose the United States, Canada or Mexico.

2. 2

   Say who ships

   Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS), you, or both. Bookalyze reads the matching order lists, and WFS stock when Walmart ships.

Create the key in Walmart's Developer Portal

1. 1

   Sign in to the Developer Portal

   Go to developer.walmart.com and sign in with the same login as your Seller Center account for that country.

2. 2

   Open API key management

   Add a new key (or use an existing one) for your own account.

3. 3

   Give it access to three areas

   Orders, Reports and Inventory. View only is enough: Bookalyze never changes anything on Walmart.

4. 4

   Copy the client ID and client secret

   The secret is shown when the key is made. Keep it like a password.

Paste it into Bookalyze

Where in the app: Commerce → Channels → (your Walmart country) → Walmart account → Connect Walmart

Bookalyze gets a token from Walmart with the key, asks Walmart what the key can see, and saves it encrypted. Anything missing gets a warning: give the key that access in the portal and choose Test connection.

Replacing or removing the key

• Replace key takes a new client ID and secret, for example after you rotate it in the portal.
• Disconnect deletes the key from Bookalyze. The channel keeps its orders, settlements and history.
