It checks your items before you publish them. That means complete data, clean compliance, and fewer listing errors from the start. The Assistant reviews key fields and flags those that need work. Fix the issues once, then list with confidence. Your products reach Walmart buyers faster and with fewer back-and-forth exchanges. ## What the Listing Validator Assistant does **Checks product readiness** You will see which Store or Catalog items are ready for Walmart and which ones are not. The status is clear, so you know where to focus. **Gives practical recommendations** For each issue, the Assistant explains the cause and lists simple steps to fix it. You see exactly what to change to meet Walmart rules, including identifiers, category attributes, images, and compliance fields. **Lets you pick how to fix mistakes** Update data in the Store or Catalog if that is easier. Or use M2E tools such as filters or product groups to fill missing or invalid fields. When Walmart requires specific compliance data, you can add it on the spot. ## Where can you find it? You meet the Listing Validator Assistant during the [Walmart listing flow](https://docs.m2ecloud.com/docs/list-new-items-on-walmart/). It shows up at the end of the flow, after you press **List Now.** M2E reviews your products to ensure every required detail is complete and accurate. If something is missing or wrong, the Assistant opens and presents a concise overview of the problems.
