API Deprecation Reminder May 2024

May 15, 2024

1P Supplier API Deprecation

Walmart is deprecating 1P Supplier APIs beginning May 2024. Please ensure all API’s are aligned with the newest standards to avoid API request failures or business disruptions.

Digital Signature Authentication for all 1P Supplier APIs

The 1P Supplier APIs have transitioned to OAuth standard token-based authentication, starting July 2023. Please ensure all APIs are changed to token based authentication. Any APIs that still have legacy digital signature-based authentication (using a consumer ID private key value to generate a digital signature) could create an API request failure.

Item Management APIs: Deprecation Announcement

Walmart is no longer supporting Supplier_Full_Item and Supplier_Product bulk Item Setup and Maintenance submissions. Walmart has transitioned to Product Type Setup and Maintenance to drive item content quality and enhance the shopping experience.

Feedtypes should be used for the following Item Setup and Maintenance requests:

  • Item Setup and Maintenance by Product Type https://api-gateway.walmart.com/v3/feeds

    • Setup: Physical items for sale on eCommerce channels 

      * OMNI_DSV_ITEM: drop ship vending (DSV) * OMNI_ONLINE_ITEM or sold directly to Walmart for Walmart.com

    • Maintenance: The maintenance of any 1P item (store or e-commerce items) 

      * OMNI_MAINTENANCE

DSV Inventory APIs: Deprecation Announcement

Walmart is transitioning to Drop Ship Vendor (DSV) inventory updates to GTIN-14 as the primary product identifier (productId). This change helps align DSV inventory with retail industry standards and provides a consistent product identifier. Due to this change, inventory updates with SKU as an identifier will no longer be accepted.
