I’m looking for a clear answer on Walmart account association. I have two separate seller accounts and want to know if logging into both on the same computer—but using different browsers (e.g., Chrome for one, Firefox for the other)—would trigger association.
Here’s what I’ve heard:
Some sellers in other groups mentioned it’s not an issue and that association is more of an Amazon-specific concern.
A Walmart account manager told me that it would be considered associated.
I personally tested with Chrome and a different browser (not Chrome or Firefox) — two separate accounts — and haven’t seen any negative impact yet, but I want to be safe.
Does anyone have a definitive answer or official documentation from Walmart on this? Also, if association does occur, what are the actual consequences—immediate suspension, or just internal flagging?
Thanks in advance!

My AM gave me the opposite answer — said it’s fine as long as you’re not violating any policies. I asked specifically about multiple accounts for different brands and they said “just don’t list the same products across accounts.” So maybe that’s the real trigger — product overlap, not login method.

The fact that there’s no official documentation on this tells me Walmart probably doesn’t enforce it strictly. On Amazon, they literally have a whole section in Seller Central about it. Walmart? Nothing.
I run two accounts from the same computer, different browsers, going on 2 years. Never had an issue. I think the “association” thing is mostly fear from Amazon sellers bringing their paranoia over to Walmart.
But if you want to be 100% safe, just use separate VPS or a virtual machine for each account. Cheap insurance.
That said, I know someone who got flagged — but they were logging into like 5 accounts from the same browser, same time, and also had some policy violations on one of them. So maybe Walmart only cares if you’re doing something shady on one account.
