In ecommerce, few things damage a seller’s reputation faster than overselling. When a customer buys a product—only to later receive an “out of stock” email—it doesn’t just hurt your reviews. It can also hurt your eligibility to sell on key platforms like Walmart.
As Walmart’s marketplace grows more competitive, sellers must maintain accurate inventory levels across all channels. The risk of overselling increases exponentially when you're selling on multiple marketplaces or syncing with multiple warehouses.
That’s where real-time inventory syncing and intelligent order routing from SellerActive come in.
Walmart has strict performance standards for marketplace sellers. Failing to fulfill orders due to stockouts can trigger:
Order Defect Rate penalties
Reduced visibility in search and listings
Account suspension or listing suppression
Lower chances of winning the Buy Box
For sellers managing multiple sales channels (Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Shopify, etc.), even a few minutes of delay in syncing inventory can result in duplicate sales of a product that’s no longer available.
SellerActive’s multichannel platform keeps your Walmart listings accurate by automatically updating stock levels every time an order is placed—on any connected channel.
With SellerActive, you get:
Real-time inventory syncing across Walmart, Amazon, eBay, Shopify, and more
Inventory reservation to prevent duplicate sales during high-traffic periods
Multi-location support, including 3PLs and owned warehouses
Automatic order routing based on fulfillment rules and available stock
This means if you sell an item on Amazon, SellerActive instantly adjusts your Walmart inventory to reflect the new quantity—and vice versa.
Inventory accuracy is only half the equation. The other half is ensuring orders get fulfilled from the most efficient source.
SellerActive’s intelligent order routing engine lets you:
Route orders to specific warehouses based on inventory levels
Prioritize fulfillment centers by proximity or cost
Avoid manual decision-making, even during high-volume periods
Whether you're using your own warehouse, a 3PL, or a combination of both, SellerActive ensures the right product ships from the right location—every time.
Sync all channels through one platform
Relying on separate tools for each channel increases your risk. SellerActive brings all inventory and orders into one interface.
Set safety stock thresholds
Automatically hold back a few units from being listed to avoid last-minute oversells.
Segment inventory by fulfillment source
Ensure accurate availability across FBA, WFS, and owned stock with multichannel-aware logic.
Audit your product catalog regularly
Catch mismatches or listing errors before they affect customers.
Enable real-time sync, not scheduled updates
Delays of even a few minutes can cause issues. SellerActive operates in near real-time.
Overselling is more than an inconvenience—it’s a risk to your reputation and your revenue. SellerActive helps Walmart sellers avoid listing errors and fulfillment gaps by ensuring that every order, from every channel, is backed by accurate, real-time inventory.
