To successfully connect your Walmart account to Link My Books, you'll need to grant us secure access through the Walmart Developer Portal. This process involves generating a unique Client ID and Client Secret, which you will then enter into your Link My Books account.
How to Obtain Your Walmart Client ID and Client Secret
Follow these steps in the Walmart Developer Portal to get the necessary credentials:
Go to the Walmart Developer Portal: Open your web browser and navigate to developer.walmart.com.
Log In & Access Marketplace: Click on 'My Account' and then select 'Marketplace (US & Mexico)'. You may be prompted to log in to your Walmart Seller account.
Add New Key: On the subsequent page, click the '+ Add New Key For A Solution Provider' button.
Select Link My Books: From the 'Select Solution Provider' dropdown menu, choose 'Link My Books', and then click 'Next'.
Set Key Permissions: On the 'Link My Books Key Permission' page, you will define the access Link My Books has. Navigate to the 'Settings, Rules & Admin' section. Within this section, select the permission for 'Reports' and set it to 'View Only'. Then, click 'Submit'.
Copy Credentials: A success message confirming 'Added Link My Books' will appear. You will then be provided with your unique Client ID and Client Secret. Carefully copy both of these credentials immediately, as the Client Secret is often shown only once.
Paste into Link My Books: Switch back to your Link My Books account and paste the copied Client ID and Client Secret into the designated fields to complete the connection process for your Walmart sales channel.
