Walmart Store Update on May 15th, 2019!
ShipStation's original authentication method for Walmart stores will end on May 15th, 2019.
This means, if you connected your Walmart store to ShipStation prior to May 15th, 2019, you must reconfigure the store's connection using a new Client ID and Client Secret to continue importing Walmart orders to ShipStation.
See the Connect a Walmart Store to ShipStation section below for details on how to gather the Client ID and Client Secret from your Walmart account.

Here are some things you should keep in mind about ShipStation's integration with Walmart:
This integration is only available for Walmart sellers based in the US. Walmart Canada and Walmart DSV accounts are not supported at this time.
ShipStation will not create new orders if all the products in the order are already Shipped or Cancelled.
ShipStation is not able to send emails for Walmart orders. All customer notifications will be handled by Walmart.
Due to Walmart's order acknowledgement requirements, the Auto-Update feature is always enabled for Walmart stores and cannot be disabled.
Every individual item in a Walmart order has it's own unique Line Item ID value which must be included when notifying Walmart of the shipment. If a customer orders multiples of the same item, the item will appear multiple times in ShipStation each with a quantity of 1.
