Payments
The Marketplace Payments API Guide provides instructions and recommendations for using the Payments APIs designed for payment use-cases at Walmart Marketplace. The primary users of the content are Payment Service Providers (PSPs) who are looking to integrate with our APIs.
Entity Match API
The Entity Match API provides PSPs with access to seller entity data using the OAuth 2.0 authentication method.
Entity profile data includes the seller's tax ID, legal business name, and the country of incorporation. This API can be used by Payment Service Providers to validate if a seller's entity details match during onboarding and payout processes.
Leverage this API to ensure that the seller's information is accurate and compliant, minimizing payment exceptions, and facilitating timely and lawful payment transactions.
Key benefits
- Use OAuth 2.0 to securely access required seller entity details
- Increase entity matching rates by automating API consent from sellers
- Reduce data privacy risks by ensuring only required datapoints are made accessible to perform entity matching
Features
- Retrieves seller entity data, such as tax ID, legal business name, and Country of Incorporation (COI)
- Access is restricted to select PSPs only
- Allows PSPs to view data for sellers who have authorized the PSP through the App Store, authenticated using an access token

- Seller must authorize PSP access to the Entity Match API through the App Store.
- PSPs must authorized to access the Entity Match API.
