Adjust seller offers with CAP

The Commission Adjustment Program (CAP) API allows Walmart to adjust seller’s offers. Seller can completely opt-in or opt-out of the Commission Adjustment Program. Sellers also have an option to opt-in or opt-out at a SKU level. For example, Sellers can individually opt items in or out by uploading the Item Opt-in file.

Opt-in or opt-out of CAP program

Sellers can either opt-in or opt-out from CAP program with the Set up CAP SKU All API.

To enroll in CAP, call GET /v3/cppreference and specify the subsidyEnrolled value = “true”, the Seller enrolls in the CAP program. All eligible SKUs (current and future) are by default opt-in. After that, the seller can opt-out individual items.

To opt-out of the CAP, call GET /v3/cppreference and specify subsidyEnrolled value = “false”, the Seller stops participating in the CAP program and all eligible SKUs (current and future) are opt-out of the CAP program.

To opt-in or opt-out of an individual item, you need to set up the seller SKU for an individual item’s competitive price adjustment listed in the CSV file.

Sellers can simply opt-in or opt-out for individual items.

1. Use Update Bulk Prices API: call POST v3/feeds and specify feedType=CPT_SELLER_ELIGIBILITY.
2. Change the CSV file entry for individual items. Change the SKU OPT IN column value to “Y” or “N” in the Item Opt-in CSV file.

For more information about Opt-in file, request a report download for the CAP report.
