What is CAP and how can I opt-in or opt-out of it?

CAP stands for Commission Adjustment Program, which is an API that allows Walmart to adjust seller's offers. You can opt-in or opt-out of the CAP program using the Set-up CAP SKU All API, and you can also opt-in or opt-out of individual items by setting up the seller SKU for an individual item's competitive price adjustment listed in the CSV file.

How do I enroll in or discontinue the CAP program for my products?

To enroll in the CAP program, call GET /v3/cppreference and specify the subsidyEnrolled value = “true”. To discontinue the CAP program, call GET /v3/cppreference and specify subsidyEnrolled value = “false”. Note: For more information about Opt-in file, request a report download for the CAP report.

How can I set up promotions?

You can use the price and promotional price management APIs to set up and manage prices for a given item. To set up promotions, follow these rules: maximum 10 promotions per item, effective start date at least 4 hours from current date, no cancelling promotions within 4 hours of start time, promotion end date within 180 days of start date, and no overlapping start and end dates with other promotions for the same item.
