Walmart DSV inventory integration: Drop Ship Vendor purchase orders in, acknowledged, shipped, and stock kept honest

Walmart DSV order management, purchase-order acknowledgment, ship notices with tracking, cancellations, and inventory push for Drop Ship Vendors — connected directly to Walmart's supplier channel and running in the same inbox as your Walmart Marketplace, Amazon, and eBay orders.

Walmart DSV is the Drop Ship Vendor program — a different business from Walmart Marketplace. On Marketplace you're the seller and Walmart is the venue. As a DSV, Walmart is the seller: it lists your product as its own, takes the order, sends you a purchase order, and you ship to the customer under Walmart's name. That means POs instead of orders, acknowledgments and ship notices instead of a seller dashboard, and inventory you have to keep Walmart informed about so it doesn't sell what you don't have. Rilk connects to Walmart's supplier channel directly and runs DSV as another lane of the same operation.

What you can do

• DSV purchase orders land in Rilk automatically from Walmart's supplier channel, each with the customer's address and every line, ready to pick.
• Acknowledge the PO from Rilk. Walmart hears back without you opening the supplier portal.
• Ship it next to your Marketplace and Amazon orders, buy the label in the same workflow, and Rilk sends Walmart the ship notice with tracking.
• Cancel cleanly when you have to. A line you can't fill is cancelled back to Walmart from Rilk rather than left to age.
• Keep Walmart's count honest. Rilk pushes your available quantity to Walmart from the same stock pool your Marketplace, Amazon, and eBay listings draw from.
• Margin per PO, with cost basis and label cost on every line and Walmart's remittance posted on the settlements screen.

What's supported

• Direct connection to Walmart's supplier channel for the Drop Ship Vendor program — separate from your Marketplace connection, and both can run side by side.
• Purchase-order intake with full line-item detail into your unified inbox.
• Purchase-order acknowledgment sent to Walmart from Rilk.
• Ship notices with tracking sent to Walmart when the order ships, and cancellations sent for lines you can't fill.
• Inventory push to Walmart from one stock pool shared with Walmart Marketplace, Amazon, eBay, Shopify, and BackMarket.
• Label buying for UPS, FedEx, USPS, and DHL in the same shipping workflow.
• Ship-from locations set up in Rilk from the facility IDs Walmart assigned you at onboarding.
• Per-unit cost and profit on every PO, with Walmart's remittance reconciled on the settlements screen.

How the Walmart DSV inventory sync works

1. Connect your Walmart supplier credentials from Company Settings → Marketplace integrations, then enter the ship-from facility IDs Walmart assigned you at DSV onboarding — Walmart's supplier channel doesn't publish them, so Rilk asks you for them once and remembers.
2. Your DSV items map to SKUs in one stock pool shared with Walmart Marketplace, Amazon, eBay, Shopify, and BackMarket. If the same SKU is also on your Marketplace listing, both draw from one count.
3. Rilk pushes available quantity to Walmart from that pool, so a sale on Amazon or Marketplace lowers what Walmart is willing to sell as a DSV item — the oversell that costs a vendor its scorecard doesn't happen.
4. Purchase orders arrive on a schedule throughout the day. Acknowledge from Rilk, pick, pack, buy the label on UPS, FedEx, USPS, or DHL, and Rilk sends Walmart the ship notice with tracking; a line you can't fill is cancelled back to Walmart from the same screen.
5. Margin per PO, scorecard-safe. Cost basis and the label cost land on every DSV line as you ship; post Walmart's remittance on the settlements screen and Walmart DSV inventory management and true margin per unit sit next to your Marketplace margin for the same SKU.

Connecting Walmart DSV

Setup runs in a few minutes once Walmart has onboarded you as a Drop Ship Vendor. Log into Rilk, open Company Settings → Marketplace integrations, pick Walmart DSV, connect your supplier credentials, and enter the ship-from facility IDs from your Walmart onboarding. Purchase orders start arriving from the next pull, and inventory pushes from then on. Selling on Walmart as a third-party seller instead? That's the Walmart Marketplace connection, and you can run both.

Why sell on Walmart DSV with Rilk

Being a Walmart DSV means Walmart sells your product as its own — reach you can't buy as a third-party seller, on terms Walmart sets and measures. The measuring is the point: acknowledgments on time, ship notices on time, inventory accurate enough that Walmart never sells a unit you don't have. Miss those and the scorecard costs you the placement. Run DSV from the supplier portal and every one of those steps is a person re-keying under pressure. Rilk takes the PO in, acknowledges it, ships it from the same screen as your Marketplace and Amazon orders, sends the ship notice itself, and keeps Walmart's count in step with a stock pool that already knows what sold everywhere else. DSV runs like another lane of your operation — and you can see what each PO made you after the label.

Frequently asked questions

Is Walmart DSV the same as Walmart Marketplace?

No. On Walmart Marketplace you're the seller of record; as a Drop Ship Vendor, Walmart is, and it sends you purchase orders to fulfill under its name. They're separate connections in Rilk, and both can run at once from the same stock pool.

Does Rilk send acknowledgments and ship notices to Walmart for DSV orders?

Yes. Rilk acknowledges the purchase order, sends the ship notice with tracking when the order ships, and sends a cancellation for any line you can't fill — all from Rilk, without the supplier portal.

Does Rilk push inventory to Walmart for DSV items?

Yes. Available quantity goes to Walmart from the same stock pool as your Marketplace, Amazon, and eBay listings, so Walmart stops selling a DSV item when the unit has already sold somewhere else.

Why does Rilk ask me for ship-from facility IDs?

Walmart's supplier channel doesn't publish the facility IDs it assigned you at DSV onboarding, and purchase orders can't be pulled without one. You enter them once from your Walmart onboarding paperwork and Rilk remembers.
