Managing the Walmart Connector for Efficient Sales in NetSuite

This guide explains how to effectively manage the Walmart Connector in NetSuite, focusing on tax remittance and the Two-Day Shipping Delivery Program configuration. Proper management of the Walmart Connector is essential for seamless order processing and compliance.

How Does Walmart Tax Remittance Work?

Walmart collects and remits state sales tax on marketplace sales shipped to certain states, following state-specific laws. Unlike other platforms, Walmart does not indicate which orders have tax remitted. Thus, NetSuite Connector maintains an internal list of these states.

When enabled, the Omit Remitted Tax When Posting Walmart Orders feature prevents tax from being posted for orders originating from states where Walmart handles tax. In such cases, the order is recorded in NetSuite with a tax rate of 0.00 and isTaxable set to false.

However, users can still view the tax amount by selecting Edit under the Action button on the respective order in NetSuite Connector.

Configuring Walmart's Two-Day Shipping Program

If your business is part of Walmart's Two-Day Delivery Program, you can map several product attributes in NetSuite Connector for effective order management. The key attributes include:

• twoDayShippingOverride
• twoDayShippingRegion
• twoDayShippingMidwestRegionStates
• twoDayShippingNortheastRegionStates
• twoDayShippingSouthRegionStates
• twoDayShippingWestRegionStates

Steps to Map Product Attributes

To configure mappings for the Two-Day Shipping Program:

1. Navigate to the Walmart product mapper.
2. Click Add Mapping.
3. Select the desired Two-Day Shipping Override attribute.
4. Enter the corresponding NetSuite field ID for mapping, or create a default mapping value.
5. Click Save to apply the mappings.

Summary

Effectively managing the Walmart Connector facilitates accurate order processing and taxation compliance for businesses utilizing Walmart’s platform. Ensure you regularly review the internal state list for tax remittance and keep your mappings updated for Two-Day Shipping program compliance.
