Why the seller scorecard rules everything
Walmart evaluates sellers on metrics like response time, order defect rate, cancellations and delivery — rolled into a scorecard that affects your standing and visibility. Support sits at the center: slow replies, mishandled returns and cancellations all degrade the score. So on Walmart, customer service is scorecard management — keep the metrics green and you keep your placement.
Key handling areas
The table lists what to get right.
| Area | What matters |
|---|---|
| Response time | Fast, tracked metric |
| Returns | Clean, policy-compliant |
| Cancellations | Minimize; hurt the scorecard |
| Language | English-native, US expectations |
