You can modify the initial Magento Product price using the Price Change box. For example:

  • If you want a product price on Walmart to be greater by 15% than a price in Magento, you should set +15%.
    Walmart Item price = Magento Product price + Magento Product price * 0.15.

  • If you want a product price on Walmart to be less by 10 currency units than a price in Magento, you should set -10. 
    Walmart Item price = Magento Product price - 10.

  • Product Tax Code - provide a relevant tax code if you sell the taxable items. Walmart uses PTC to automatically calculate the taxes on each sale based on the item sold and delivery location.

You may either select Magento Attribute where the relevant tax codes are stored or input the tax code value manually. When the Custom Value option is selected, you can choose the PTC from the

  • Weight - enter

...

  • the weight of the product when it is packaged to ship. The Shipping Weight is set in pounds by default.

  • Must Ship Alone - specify whether a product must be shipped alone.

Note

If Must Ship Alone option is enabled, a Walmart order will be created for each ordered item because Walmart will recognize each item as a different shipment. For example, if a buyer orders one product with a quantity of three, there will be three separate Walmart orders for each item.

So if you want the full item quantity to come through the system as a single Walmart order and be shipped together, set Must Ship Alone option to "No".

  • Ships in Original Packaging - specify whether a product can be shipped in original packaging without being put in an outer box.

  • Override Mode - enable to add the Shipping Overrides.

exceptions  to the global shipping settings you configured in the Seller Center:

Please

Please be advised that:

  • When you set an override for one shipping method for a product, the other shipping methods will still be taken from the global shipping settings. For example, if you have enabled the Standard and Expedited shipping in Seller Center, but you set an override for the Standard method for a product, the global settings for Expedited shipping will still apply to this product.

  • When you override to enable the Freight method for a product, it will replace all other shipping methods that you configure in the Seller Center for this particular product.

Step 6: Define an offer start/end date

...

...

We strongly recommend you

...

keep the default Start/End Date values, i.e. Immediate and Endless. Your offer will become visible on Walmart as soon as it is in stock.

Providing specific dates for the Start/End Date options may only be reasonable if you plan to sell your product during a certain period, e.g. start selling on 20th November and stop selling on 30th November. 

In this case, on the Start Date, if your product is in stock, it becomes visible on Walmart. No additional actions are needed on M2E Pro side at that time. When the End Date comes, Walmart retires your item and hides it from the website. In M2E Pro Listing grid, the product becomes

...

Incomplete. If you want to keep selling this product, adjust the End Date, and apply the Reset

...

Incomplete Item(s) action. M2E Pro will automatically submit new product data to Walmart.

Regardless of the Start/End Date values, M2E Pro lists your product based on the synchronization settings. Depending on the product stock, it will be marked as either Active or Inactivein M2E Pro Listing. If the Start Date is set to the one in the future, the Stage notice appears next to the Listing Product status.

 

In terms of Walmart, Start and End Dates define an

offer

Offer lifecycle on the website. Depending on these values, Walmart technically marks an item as Active, Retired, or Archived. You can read more about Walmart Item statuses here.
