Walmart Multi-Channel Solution (MCS): Automating WFS Orders with EasyChannel
1. What is WFS and What is MCS?
Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) is Walmart’s logistics program, where Walmart stores, picks, packs, and ships your products. It provides fast shipping, reliable delivery, and customer trust.
Multi-Channel Solution (MCS) in EasyChannel lets you extend WFS to every channel you sell on. With MCS enabled, you can list your Walmart WFS inventory on eBay, Shopify, or other marketplaces, and EasyChannel will automatically route those orders back to Walmart for fulfillment.
This means:
When an order is placed on another channel, EasyChannel creates a shipping request in Walmart WFS.
EasyChannel then listens for status updates (shipped, tracking info, etc.) and automatically updates the original order.
2. How EasyChannel Supports WFS Products
When you connect your Walmart account in EasyChannel:
An uneditable WFS warehouse is automatically created in your account.
EasyChannel monitors inventory directly from Walmart.
If a product has WFS stock, that stock is automatically assigned to the WFS warehouse in EasyChannel.
⚠️ Important: WFS warehouse inventory cannot be manually adjusted in EasyChannel — it is fully controlled by Walmart and synced automatically.
This ensures your catalog always reflects real WFS quantities.
3. MCS Automation: Settings and Behavior
Turning on Automation
Go to Products Catalog > Integrations > Channel Settings.
Open your Walmart integration settings.
Toggle Enable WFS order fulfillment automation.
Choose your shipping method (e.g., Standard Shipping).
Decide whether to:
Fulfill WFS orders for all channels, or
Select specific channels to exclude.
Example of Channel Exclusion
You have 10 units of a product in WFS.
If automation is disabled for eBay, EasyChannel will show that product as 0 units on eBay.
Result: WFS stock is never offered on excluded channels, ensuring no overselling.
4. Behavior When Automation is On vs Off
Automation ON:
Orders from connected channels are routed to Walmart WFS.
Tracking info flows back into EasyChannel.
Inventory stays synced across channels.
Automation OFF (or excluded channel):
WFS stock is not sent to those channels.
Listings on excluded channels will show “0 units” to prevent sales.
Products remain WFS-only on Walmart until automation is re-enabled.
5. Conclusion: Why This Matters
With Walmart MCS in EasyChannel, you can:
Expand your WFS-powered products to every sales channel you operate on.
Keep inventory accurate and prevent overselling with automated sync.
Save time by letting EasyChannel handle routing, fulfillment requests, and tracking updates.
