Endpoint

POST https://marketplace.walmartapis.com/v3/repricer/strategy

Sample request

This request creates a Buy Box Optimization Strategy for Walmart Marketplace, designed to dynamically adjust product prices to win the Buy Box. The strategy is activated with the enabled parameter set to true and supports adjustments during promotions with enableRepricerForPromotion set to true. It also ensures that the product price reverts to the seller’s last submitted price when no competitor target is found, if restoreSellerPriceWithoutTarget is set to true. Additionally, it enables price matching with external competitors to beat Buy Box prices when enableBuyboxMeetExternal is set to true. The strategy uses a fixed adjustmentValue of $1.20 to compete for the Buy Box.

Modify your code

To create a repricer strategy, update the necessary parameters in the request to reflect the changes you want. For example:

• Strategy Name - Modify the repricerStrategy field to reflect a new name for the strategy.
• Price Change - If the adjustment value needs to change, update adjustmentValue with a new number. For instance, increase the adjustment to $1.50 if you want a higher margin for the Buy Box.
• Enable/Disable Features - Toggle the features by setting enabled, enableRepricerForPromotion, and other flags to true or false based on your requirements.
• Use a unique WM_QOS.CORRELATION_ID for each request.
• Replace with WM_SEC.ACCESS_TOKEN with the actual value for access token.

Sample response

Once the request is processed, the API creates the strategy and returns a unique strategy ID, confirming successful implementation.

{ "strategyId": "STR-987654321", "status": "CREATED", "message": "Buy Box Optimization Strategy successfully created."
}

Result

• Walmart’s repricer will adjust the product price dynamically to secure the Buy Box.
• Prices will fluctuate by ±$1.20 based on Buy Box competition.
