Walmart Wednesday Drop Guide

Walmart releases their card products on Wedesdays, at roughly 9PM EST.

Task Creation & Multi-SKU Limitations

• Multi-SKU does not work with Walmart’s queue system- and likely never will.

• If you’re targeting multiple products, create separate task groups for each SKU.

• You can reuse the same accounts and proxies across groups for different products.

For step-by-step task creation, refer to the official Refract Walmart guide: https://help.refractbot.com/modules/walmart

Setup & Drop Strategy

• You do not need to get saved sessions each week if your previous sessions are still working.

  • Test a couple tasks with "Use Saved Session" ON ahead of time. If your saved session task reaches “Waiting for Restock”, you’re good to go and can turn "Used Saved Session" ON for all tasks.

• Only generate a new session if your saved session task fails to return to "Waiting for Restock".

  • To generate a new session, run your tasks with "Use Saved Session" OFF and let tasks fully login.

• Resume tasks with "Use Saved Session" ON about 10 minutes before the drop.

• Add PID and OID to the monitor section in advance of the drop. At drop time, turn on "Skip Monitoring" (PID is still required).

• If you hit PX blocks, let it retry. If you continue to loop "setting cookies", toggle saved session off, restart tasks, and retry.

Queue Behavior

• Queue timers like 29:59 or 9:59 are just placeholders for queue time. These are NOT your acutal queue times, they are just set by Walmart since at this point, they are not giving you an exact queue time.

  • Some users have reported that restarting tasks may help get a queue time. With this, it is advised to restart some of your tasks that are stuck at this placeholder queue time to try and force a queue time.

• Walmart releases users in waves - don’t end tasks early.

• Tasks stuck in queue are not broken. It just means Walmart hasn't issued a new queue time yet.

• If the monitor section doesn’t show anything while tasks are in queue, that’s normal.

Common Errors & Fixes

Generating Session Loop (456 Block)

What it means: This occurs when the session is receiving 456 blocks. See below for more info.

What causes it:

• Bot Detection Flow: Temporary issues in how the bot mimics human behavior may trigger this. It has mostly been resolved, but Walmart may still update its security unpredictably.

• Account Session: Expired or flagged sessions may contribute. In some cases, re-logging into your account can help refresh the session.

• Proxy: Proxies are the most common cause.

  • The bot will auto-rotate proxies after a 456 block.

  • Proxy location matters. In the past, proxies based just outside the U.S. (e.g., Mexico, Canada) triggered 456 blocks, while U.S.-based proxies passed.

  • Low-trust proxies are more likely to get blocked frequently.

How to fix it:

• Let the task auto-rotate proxies and retry.

• Use U.S.-based residential proxies with a good trust score. Avoid international or mixed-location proxy pools.

• Try re-logging into the Walmart account to refresh session data.

Proxy Error

Your proxy is dead, banned, out of bandwidth, or the provider is offline.

Connection Error

• Typically due to proxy or internet issues—your bot couldn’t reach Walmart.

Invalid Address Details

Walmart has rejected your shipping address.

• Enter it manually on the Walmart site to test it.

• Use their suggested format (if available, bot will do this too) or adjust your jig if blocked.

  • If you see "Invalid Address Details" in the bot, it mean Walmart did not give an override option or suggested address.

Invalid Card Details

Even if cards work on othesite, Walmart may reject them due to too many auth charges as a result of reusing the same card across multiple profiles/tasks for Walmart.

• If you use the same card for several tasks, each task will need to send an "invisible" authentication card to your issuing bank. For many banks, spamming too many of these authenticaiton charges will result in the card being temporarily locked on Walmart. Each bank is different so timelines vary, but this issue will resolve itself with time and running only one task per card.
