At a glance

This card is a composite tripwire across Walmart’s three core account-health KPIs: Listing Quality Score, on-time dispatch SLA, and cancellation rate. If any single one crosses its threshold, the card fires, because a single breach is enough to drop you out of the Pro Seller programme and trigger search-visibility cuts. Sellers watch it because Walmart treats account health as pass/fail, not as an average.

Calculation

Vortex IQ pulls the three account-health signals from Walmart Marketplace and evaluates each against its configured threshold in real time. The card returns a count of how many are currently breached, so a value of 2 means two of the three KPIs have crossed at once. The thresholds shown in the At a glance summary mirror Walmart’s published Pro Seller requirements, and the worked example below shows how a single breach surfaces.

Worked example

A representative reading of Walmart Account Health (LQS / SLA / Cancel) Crossed Threshold for a typical merchant on Walmart Marketplace. On 12 Mar 26 a seller sees the card jump from 0 to 1. Drilling in, the late-dispatch rate has crept to a representative 1.3%, just over Walmart’s penalty line, while LQS and cancellation rate remain healthy. The reading means one KPI has breached and Pro Seller status is now at risk, so the action is to clear the dispatch backlog and confirm carrier pickups before the rolling window locks the breach in. For deeper investigation, use Vortex Mind to trace upstream causes; for natural-language exploration, ask Ask Viq.

Reconciling against Walmart Seller Center

Where to look in Walmart Seller Center: Verify each component on the Performance or Scorecard area, where Walmart publishes Listing Quality, on-time dispatch, and cancellation metrics side by side. The Pro Seller eligibility panel in the same area shows which KPI is currently failing.

Known limitations / merchant FAQs

Q: How often does Walmart Account Health (LQS / SLA / Cancel) Crossed Threshold 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? Walmart’s scorecard often reports each KPI on a calendar-aligned rolling window while Vortex IQ evaluates the live position, so a breach may appear here slightly before or after the scorecard updates. Time-zone and filter scope (fulfilment type or test orders) can also shift which orders count toward a component. Q: Which KPI tripped the alert when the count is 1? Open the card detail to see the per-component breakdown; only the breached KPI is flagged, so you know whether to chase dispatch, cancellations, or listing quality first. Q: Can I customise the alert threshold? Yes, alert thresholds are configurable per profile in the Alert Rules tab. Adjust to match your business baseline rather than relying on the generic default.
