Third-party fulfillment center association

Overview

The Third-party fulfillment center association API allows sellers to activate or update the status of 3PL (third-party logistics) ship nodes associated with their Marketplace account.

Endpoint

POST https://marketplace.walmartapis.com/v3/settings/shipping/3plshipnodes

Function

This API helps you:

  • Associate a third-party logistics (3PL) fulfillment center to your account
  • Activate or deactivate an existing 3PL ship node
  • Manage the operational availability of third-party warehouses
  • Control whether a specific 3PL node can be used for shipping

Sample request

curl --request POST \ --url https://marketplace.walmartapis.com/v3/settings/shipping/3plshipnodes \ --header 'accept: application/json' \ --header 'content-type: application/json' \ --data '
{ "shipNodeHeader": { "version": "1.2" }, "shipNode": [ { "shipNode": "99351656957153281", "status": "ACTIVE" } ]
}
'
import requests url = "https://marketplace.walmartapis.com/v3/settings/shipping/3plshipnodes" payload = { "shipNodeHeader": { "version": "1.2" }, "shipNode": [ { "shipNode": "99351656957153281", "status": "ACTIVE" } ]
} headers = { "accept": "application/json", "content-type": "application/json", "Authorization": "Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>",
} response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers) print(response.status_code)
print(response.headers)
print(response.text)

Modify your code

To receive a valid response, update your request with valid authentication and request values.

Add authentication headers

Include a valid OAuth access token.

--header 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>'

If your integration requires additional headers, include them as needed, such as consumer ID, correlation ID, or service name.

Replace the ship node ID

Make sure shipNode contains a valid 3PL fulfillment center ID associated with your seller account.

Example:

{ "shipNode": "99351656957153281"
}

Validate the status value

Use a supported status value for the node.

Possible values include:

  • ACTIVE
  • INACTIVE

Sample response

The following example shows a 200 OK response.

[ { "shipNode": "string", "status": "string" }
]

Result

  • A successful 200 OK response confirms that the 3PL ship node association was updated.
  • The response returns the shipNode and its updated status.
  • The fulfillment center is now configured as ACTIVE or INACTIVE based on your request.
  • If activated, the 3PL node becomes available for shipping operations.
  • If deactivated, the node is not used for fulfillment.
