How to assign sku to shipping template?

Within the last few years Amazon, eBay, and Walmart have shifted to a new model for handling your shipping options. As a seller, you would create these templates on the sales channel directly and Marketplace Management will import those templates automatically after they have been integrated.

Marketplace Management allows you to update these templates in bulk and those changes will be sent to the sales channel immediately after being assigned in our system. There is no quantity, price, or Publish attempt required.

You can update the templates one-by-one within the Listings tab of the SKUPane. You can select any SKU from either workspace grid and select "Listings". You will see a "Shipping Policy" dropdown menu for Amazon, eBay, and Walmart.

You have the ability to apply the Shipping Template in bulk from the Listings Workspace using the Bulk Operation option (Select listings > Select the Bulk Operation button > Apply a shipping policy > Next > Select the shipping policy and Apply)

You can also select multiple sales channels and assign templates at once:

You cannot upload shipping templates with a flat file via the Products or Listings workspace at this time.

To map an item SKU to a shipping template, use the Bulk Item Setup (Multiple) API. Specify SKU_TEMPLATE_MAP for the feed type. For example, call POST /v3/feeds?feedType=SKU_TEMPLATE_MAP

Provide your sample file with values for required parameters in your request payload:

To view an example, see Bulk Item Setup (Multiple) API Reference. Go to the Request Samples pane, and select “SKU_TEMPLATE_MAP – Sample 1” from the Example drop-down menu.

To set up your shipping overrides, use Bulk Item Setup (Multiple) API.

For example, call POST /v3/feeds?feedType=SHIPPING_OVERRIDE

You need to provide values for Override and ShippingOverride

Specify all of the request parameters depending on the settings you want for this shipping template.

To view an example, see Bulk Item Setup (Multiple) API Reference. Go to the Request sample pane, and select “SHIPPING_OVERRIDES – Sample 1.”

In this example, a sku is updated to provide expedited shipping to specific states per region.

For more details about shipping overrides, see Shipping Overrides.

To learn more about shipping overrides, and use case examples, see Seller Help Knowledge Base.

If you prefer to opt-out of the precise delivery available with Shipping Templates, you can simply set up a TwoDay shipping rule with Create a new Rule API.To learn more about the Rules API, see Rules Management.

If you have already onboarded to the TwoDay program, before you activated the Shipping Templates, you can switch back to TwoDay shipping. For a mapping of activation status and program onboarding status, see Rules Management.

When you send a SKU_TEMPLATE_MAP feed to Walmart, it validates according to Attribute type and acceptable format.

If you provide an incorrect Shipping Template ID, Fulfillment Center ID, or invalid SKU, you will get data or system errors. Here are some tips to fix the errors.

If you call Get Feed Status API it might fail if you do not include all required parameters in the request.

Make sure that you include the selling channel in the request.

For example:

• Log in to Amazon Seller Central.
• Go to Settings > Shipping Settings.
• Select the tab that says Shipping Templates and click "edit" at the top right-hand corner.
• Under Transit Time choose a minimum of 3 days for Standard Shipping (See the screenshot below).
