Inventory is one of the most important aspects of running an online business whether it is Amazon, eBay, Walmart, or your personal website. Because without updating inventory, we won’t be able to sell items. At Walmart, you can update the inventory in several ways: Manual process, Bulk upload process, or integrate inventory management “Channel Manager” to your account and sync between marketplaces. If you want to update the inventory by yourself then bulk upload is the easiest way than the manual process. Because you can update inventory for a large batch of items in a single feed file within a short time frame. This article aims to guide you on how to update inventory by using a Bulk file on Walmart.
