How long does it take for products to appear on Amazon/Walmart?
When syncing products from ExportYourStore to Amazon or Walmart, listings are not always instant. Processing times depend on the marketplace, feed status, and data accuracy.
What this means
Products may not appear immediately after syncing
Processing time varies based on platform and listing conditions
Delays can occur due to validation, approvals, or feed errors
Typical processing times (approximate)
Amazon
New listings (ASIN creation): ~15 minutes to 24 hours
Existing listings (offers): ~a few minutes to a few hours
Full updates (price, quantity, content): ~up to 24 hours on the frontend
Walmart
New items: ~2 to 24 hours (can take longer if under review)
Updates (price, inventory): ~5 minutes to a few hours
Content changes: ~24–48 hours to fully reflect
Common reasons for delays
Feed is still processing or queued
Missing or incorrect required attributes
Listings under review or compliance checks
Inventory not yet available (FBA inbound, reserved, etc.)
Marketplace-side delays or system lag
Recommended actions
Check feed processing reports for errors or warnings
Ensure all required fields are properly mapped and completed
Verify price, quantity, and inventory status
Allow sufficient time for updates to reflect on the frontend
How often does ExportYourStore sync inventory (quantity) data?
ExportYourStore syncs inventory (quantity) data between your source store and connected marketplaces such as Amazon and Walmart to help keep stock levels accurate and prevent overselling.
What this means
Inventory levels are updated automatically across platforms
Stock changes are reflected on connected marketplaces
Helps maintain accurate availability and avoid overselling
Sync frequency (approximate)
Inventory (quantity) updates: ~few minutes up to 2 hours
What affects inventory sync
Marketplace processing time (Amazon/Walmart delays)
API response time from connected stores
Large catalog size or bulk updates
Feed errors or missing required data
Important notes
There may be slight delays before updated quantities appear on the frontend
Rapid changes across multiple platforms can cause temporary mismatches
Avoid manual overrides that conflict with automated syncing
Allow time for marketplace updates to reflect
