# Total Listings, Walmart Marketplace

> Total Listings for Walmart Marketplace stores. Tracked live in Vortex IQ Nerve Centre. How to read it, why it matters, and how to act on it.

**Card class:** [Non-Hero](/nerve-centre/overview#card-classes-explained)  •  **Category:** [Marketplace](/nerve-centre/connectors#connectors-by-type)

## At a glance

> Total Listings is the full count of items on your Walmart Marketplace catalogue, across every status. It is the denominator behind most other listing-health cards, so it gives the scale you are working with before any quality or availability filter is applied. Watching it for sudden jumps or drops is a quick way to catch feed problems.

|                       |                                                                                                                                       |

| **What it counts**    | The total number of Walmart Marketplace listings on the account regardless of status.                                                 |
| **Sample type**       | Backend API data from Walmart Marketplace, refreshed on the standard data refresh.                                                    |
| **Why it matters**    | It sets the catalogue scale and acts as a sanity check; an unexpected swing usually signals a feed or sync issue worth investigating. |
| **Reading the value** | Read it as a baseline; stability is normal, and large unexplained moves warrant a look.                                               |
| **Currency**          | count                                                                                                                                 |
| **Time window**       | `RT`                                                                                                                                  |
| **Alert trigger**     | `-`                                                                                                                                   |
| **Sentiment key**     | `wal_total_listings`                                                                                                                  |
| **Roles**             | owner, operations                                                                                                                     |

## Calculation

The value is derived by counting every Walmart Marketplace listing on the account at the time of the refresh, with no filtering by status, quality, or availability. It is a real-time snapshot rather than a windowed measure. See the At a glance summary for the unit, and the worked example below for how the count reads in practice.

## Worked example

*A representative reading of **Total Listings** for a typical merchant on Walmart Marketplace.* On 12 Mar 26 a seller normally carrying around 2,400 items sees Total Listings drop to 2,180 overnight. Nothing was deliberately retired, so the dip points to a feed that failed to refresh a batch of SKUs rather than a real catalogue change. The action is to compare the count against the BigCommerce source-of-truth and the latest Feedonomics run to find the missing items before they cost sales. For deeper investigation, use Vortex Mind to trace upstream causes; for natural-language exploration, ask Ask Viq.

| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [`wal_active_listings`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/walmart-marketplace/active-listings)                                    | Shows how many of the total are actually published and sellable. |
| [`wal_listings_oos`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/walmart-marketplace/out-of-stock-listings)                                 | Breaks out the share of the total that is out of stock.          |
| [`wal_suspended_listings`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/walmart-marketplace/suspended-item-setup-error-listings)             | Isolates the suspended and setup-error portion of the total.     |
| [`wal_stale_listings`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/walmart-marketplace/stale-listings-180d-no-update)                       | Highlights how much of the total has gone untouched for months.  |
| [`wal_xc_catalogue_drift_vs_bc`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/walmart-marketplace/listings-drifting-from-bc-source-of-truth) | Checks whether the total still matches the BigCommerce source.   |

## Reconciling against Walmart Seller Center

**Where to look in Walmart Seller Center:**

Open the Item / Catalog area, where the catalogue item count is shown across all statuses; remove any status filters to match a true total.

**Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ:**

| Reason                                                                                                         | Direction | What to do               |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- | ------------------------ |
| **Period boundary.** Vortex IQ uses RT rolling by default; Seller Center may use calendar periods.             | Variable  | Match the period range.  |
| **Time zone.** Seller Center uses the account time zone; Vortex IQ aligns to the merchant reporting time zone. | Marginal  | Confirm time zone match. |
| **Filter scope.** Profile-level filters (fulfilment type, test orders) may narrow the Vortex IQ view.          | Variable  | Match filter settings.   |

**Cross-connector reconciliation:** complement with sibling cards in the same category for the full diagnostic picture. For divergence investigations, use Vortex Mind.

## Known limitations / merchant FAQs

**Q: How often does Total Listings update?**
The card refreshes on the standard data refresh (typically every 30-60 minutes for live integrations). For real-time signals, force a manual refresh from the dashboard.

**Q: Why does my Walmart Seller Center show a different number?**
Seller Center counts may exclude certain statuses or apply a default filter, while Vortex IQ counts every listing regardless of state. Clearing status filters in Seller Center usually aligns the two.

**Q: Does this count include variants and bundles?**
It counts each listed item as Walmart records it, so variant-level and bundle items are included if they exist as separate listings. Check how your feed maps variants if the number looks higher than expected.

**Q: Can I customise the alert threshold?**
Yes, sensitivity thresholds are configurable per profile in the Sensitivity tab. Adjust to match your business baseline rather than relying on the generic default.
