# Performance warning

Use this page for future planning only. When available, the Performance warning webhook will notify you when a seller’s KPIs do not meet Walmart standards so you can mirror the email notice and automate follow-ups.

**Notification type**<br />PERFORMANCE\_WARNING (not available at launch)

**Who this is for**<br />Sellers and approved Solution Providers who monitor Seller Performance KPIs and standards.

## What to expect at launch (alternatives)

Until Performance warning is enabled, use these Performance notification types to drive operations and monitoring:

* **Seller performance alarms** (`ALARMS`): Shipping risks and actions triggered by seller activity. Delivery timing may vary as notifications are not delivered on a fixed schedule. Refer to [Seller performance alarms](/us-marketplace/docs/seller-performance-alarms/).
* **Seller performance report** (`REPORT`): Weekly KPI rollup across standards. Sent every Monday at 5:00 AM PT. Refer to [Seller performance report](/us-marketplace/docs/seller-performance-report).

## Availability

* **Current state**: Disabled. Not returned by [Get event types](https://developer.walmart.com/us-marketplace/reference/geteventtypes).
* **Subscriptions**: Do not attempt to subscribe to `PERFORMANCE_WARNING` until this page is updated to GA.
* **Testing**: Not supported in sandbox until the event is enabled.

## Delivery payload (coming soon)

When enabled, webhook requests will include a `payload` object with event-specific fields. A sample schema and example payload will be added here at GA.

## Implementation guidance (coming soon)

This section will provide handling guidance for idempotency and retries when Performance warning is enabled. For general guidance that applies to the performance webhook, refer to:

* [Troubleshooting and delivery health](/us-marketplace/docs/troubleshooting-and-delivery-health/)
* [Test in sandbox](/us-marketplace/docs/test-in-sandbox/)
