Walmart Compliance Checker
Paste your draft Walmart listing — title, key features, description, category — and we'll scan it against Walmart's restricted-category rules. Catch the listing-suspension risks before you publish, not after. Same engine that runs inline on every ShelfSEO audit.
What this catches
Walmart enforces three tiers of category restriction. Each one means something different for what you should do next:
- Prohibited— Walmart won't list the item, period. Examples: tobacco, vape products, controlled substances. Publishing one of these triggers an account-level warning that compounds toward suspension.
- Gated — listing requires Walmart pre-approval. You need to submit documentation (manufacturer authorization, FDA registration, etc.) before the listing goes live. Examples: dietary supplements, OTC medicine, professional medical equipment.
- Conditional — sellable but with rules. Common conditional rules: hazardous-materials shipping declarations, age-gate flags, regional restrictions. Skip these and your listing gets quietly suppressed in search.
Why this matters
Walmart suspended ~7% of third-party seller accounts in 2025 for compliance violations — most of them caught on a listing that the seller didn't realize was restricted. A 30-second pre-check is the cheapest insurance you can run.
