What’s the difference between Sandbox and Production?
The Walmart sandbox is an environment for testing Walmart APIs before you launch your app. As a seller or solution provider, you can run simulations, debug, generate reports, and monitor API behavior before moving to production. All URLs, Endpoints, Users, Items, Orders, and currency/funds within the Sandbox are for testing purposes only. This environment provides production simulation, debugging, reports, and the ability to monitor API behavior before moving to production.
To get started with Walmart sandbox, refer to Walmart sandbox.
To simulate and validate integrations with WFS Multichannel (MCS) APIs, refer to WFS Multichannel Solutions (MCS) API Sandbox Guide.
How do I move my integration from Sandbox to Production?
  1. Pass your basic flows in sandbox (items → price/inventory → orders → returns).
  2. Swap base URLs and credentials to production.
  3. Launch a small canary set (5–10 items).
  4. Monitor errors, throttle, and SLAs; then scale.
