Walmart common errors

Learn how to avoid and correct errors you receive when creating Walmart listings.

Written by Holland Rocha

1. This listing could not be published to Walmart because it is missing one or more key features, such as product image, weight, brand, etc. If you're publishing a variation listing, make sure that the product's variation attributes have been mapped.

This error will be displayed for several different reasons:

  • If you are publishing a variation but haven't provided a variation attribute such as 'size' or 'color'.

  • The listing doesn't contain an image or you haven't filled out a required field.

To fix: Make sure that all required fields (marked with a red asterisk) are filled out and that your listing contains an image. If it is a variation listing, be sure to provide variation attributes.

2. This listing contains a product ID (UPC, EAN, etc.) that is already being used by another listing in your Walmart account. You will need to provide a different product ID in order to publish this listing.

This error will be displayed if you are trying to list a product that contains a UPC that is already being used by another one of your listings.

To fix: Check the UPCs of the products you are trying to list and make sure that none of them share the same UPC. If you find a duplicate, be sure to replace it with a new UPC.

3. "UPC must be 12 digits long. Please provide a 12 digit UPC before publishing your listing."

This error will be displayed if you have provided a UPC that is longer than twelve digits.

To fix: Check your UPCs and confirm that they are correct. Provide only valid UPCs that are twelve digits long.
