Item Setup — Walmart
Overview
Walmart item setup is handled through Item 360 (within Retail Link). Suppliers are typically provided an Excel item-setup template that must be completed and returned to the Walmart merchandising team for bulk upload.
Note: This page is a living doc. As more Walmart item-setup fields, screenshots, or portal walkthroughs are collected, append them here. The DC delivery requirements page (
[[Walmart-DC-Delivery-Requirements]]) covers shipping compliance only.
Excel Template — Field Reference
Below are fields from the Walmart item-setup Excel sheet that are known or actively being filled.
Store Label Description
Short name that prints on store shelf labels. Must be compressed to fit physical label space.
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Format | HI Noms [shortened product name] |
| Maximum length | 20 characters (hard limit) |
Computed Values
| Product (Full Name) | Store Label Description | Character Count |
|---|---|---|
| Campfire S'mores Chocolate Bark | HI Noms Camp S'more | 19 |
| Mac Nut Kaki Mochi Chocolate Bark | HI Noms Mac Kaki | 16 |
| Bursts (Gummies) | HI Noms Bursts | 14 |
| Da Mix (Gummies) | HI Noms Da Mix | 14 |
| Watermelon (Gummies) | HI Noms Watermelon | 18 |
| Lychee (Gummies) | HI Noms Lychee | 14 |
| Bears (Gummies) | HI Noms Bears | 13 |
| Strawberry Guava (Gummies) | HI Noms StrGuava | 15 |
Rationale for
StrGuava: "Strawberry Guava" is 16 characters; with theHI Nomsprefix it would exceed the 20-character max. "StrGuava" preserves the first three letters of both flavor words and reads naturally as a compressed store label.
