<summary><strong>If I submit a price update, promotion update, or combined price and promotion feed for an item enrolled in an incentive program, will it affect the item’s reduced price or enrollment status?</strong></summary>

No. Submitting price updates, promotion updates, or combined price and promotion feeds does not affect the item’s enrollment status or the reduced price associated with either incentive program.

<summary><strong>What happens to an item’s price when it is unenrolled from a program?</strong></summary>

When an item is unenrolled from a pricing incentive program, the resulting item price depends on the type of incentive program:

* **Reduced Referral Fee (RRF) incentives**: The item price remains at the reduced price after the item is unenrolled from the program.
* **Walmart-funded incentives**: The seller-submitted price from before enrollment is automatically restored when the item is unenrolled from the program.
