Unmanaged Items

Unmanaged Items

If you are an existing Walmart seller and want to manage your Channel inventory based on Magento data, you can use the Unmanaged Listings functionality.
This article will guide you step-by-step on how to transfer your Unmanaged Items into M2E Pro Listing.

Step 1: Enable the Unmanaged import

To import your existing Walmart inventory into M2E Pro, you should enable this feature in your Account configurations: Walmart > Configuration > Accounts > edit Account > Unmanaged Listings.
⚠️
It can take up to 24 hours to import all existing Unmanaged Listings.
You can enable/disable the option for each M2E Pro Walmart account individually.

You can export all Unmanaged Walmart items and their data to a CSV file. For that, click Export in the top right corner of the grid.

Step 3: Link the Unmanaged Item to Magento Product

Automatic linking
During the initial Unmanaged Item import, the items can be linked to Magento Products automatically based on the linking settings, e.g. SKU, UPC, GTIN, etc. values, defined in your Account configurations.
To apply these settings to the selected Unmanaged Items, submit the Link Item(s) Automatically action in the Listing grid:

After moving the Item to the M2E Pro Listing, you will be able to change the Magento Product it is linked to. To relink your Item, go to Walmart Integration > Listings > M2E Pro and apply the Link to another Magento Product action in the Settings View Mode.

Step 4: Move the Unmanaged Item to M2E Pro Listing

If none of the existing Listings suit you, click Add New Listing to create a new M2E Pro Listing on the fly.

Step 5: Assign Walmart category

It is important to assign a Walmart category to an item before it is placed into M2E Pro Listing. Please check this article to find the detailed instructions.
M2E Pro will automatically schedule synchronization of Unmanaged Item with Magento data right after the item is placed into M2E Pro Listing.
