Shipping and Fulfillment Settings API Overview
The Settings API allows you to configure your items' shipping, delivery, and fulfillment settings. This applies only to Seller-Owned Shipping sellers and not Walmart-provided shipping sellers. You can create shipping templates to specify your items' delivery speed and fulfillment center choices.
About Fulfillment Center Settings
You can use the Settings API to change the fulfillment centers and the shipping program you elect for your items (such as Standard shipping).
Fulfillment centers were also known as “Ship Nodes,” so you might see some parameter names with Ship Node nomenclature.
You can manage your Fulfillment Centers (Ship Nodes) through the following Apis:
While creating and updating fulfillment centers, you can pass in an optional Calendar Day Configuration block. This calendar day configuration block provides the flexibility to define Working Days of Week (days on which there is active order processing) along with the cutoff time (time at which order processing stops for the day) for each day in respective timezones. In addition to that, there is a provision for defining additional non-working dates for a fulfillment center (ship node). There is no default Working Days of a Week.
If a fulfillment center's cutoff time is not explicitly configured, the default is taken as 2 pm in the center’s respective time zone. The configuration is done in 24-hour format (HH:mm), and any value from 00:00 (midnight)to 23:59 (11:59 pm ) can be set.
To fetch the Calendar Day Configuration for a fulfillment center, use the optional includeCalendarDayConfiguration flag in the URL. For fulfillment centers, where no calendar day configuration is set explicitly, no Calendar Day Configuration will be present while fetching.
You can also access fulfillment and shipping choices via Walmart Seller Center. The APIs use the standard header parameters as with other APIs listed in the Developer Portal: Marketplace Settings Program.

About Shipping Templates
Shipping Templates can support a fast and precise delivery experience to bridge the gap between promise and actual delivery time. The Settings API allows you to create and manage these settings as a Shipping Template.
You can create a shipping template to specify faster shipping for specific regions. First, specify the regions and the shipping speed at which buyers in that region can receive their items. Next, assign the product SKU to that shipping template.
These APIs can be integrated directly, and changes can be accessed through the Walmart Seller Center. Like other APIs in the Developer Portal, they use the standard header parameters.
