How to quickly update your Walmart.com product pages
Kelsey O'Brien | November 28, 2016
All it takes is one error to ruin a perfectly planned product page. Whether it’s an unclear product description, a low-res or incorrect image, the wrong product dimensions, a brand name typo, or another issue, a mistake will lower your conversation rates and could cause a spike in your product return requests.
When the error is on you own website, fixing it is often the simple matter of coordinating with your marketing or e-commerce team. But when a mistake shows up on a third-party retailer site, like Amazon or Walmart.com, correcting it can get a lot more complicated.
“If we noticed a spelling mistake on a third-party retailer site, it could have been months before we were able to get it corrected,” a brand manufacturer told us. It's struggle and a pain point we hear about often.
Each retailer has it's own way of collecting product information and getting it live on their site. It is a relatively new challenge for retailers. Only a few organizations have a truly streamlined way for brands to contribute content directly in real-time. Salsify has a direct API with Walmart. This link enables Salsify customers who are approved Walmart suppliers to make immediate changes directly to their product pages on the Walmart.com.
