SKU Ninja Discontinued: Here’s How to Keep Your Walmart Rich Media on Track

Optiwise.ai banner showing Rich Media discontinuation and how to keep Walmart product Rich Media content on track.

SKU Ninja has officially been discontinued by Flywheel as of September 1, 2026.

Before the discontinuation, sellers were asked to back up their modules by August 31, 2026, as access to their accounts, tools, and hosting services would no longer be available.

If your brand relied on SKU Ninja for Walmart Rich Media Content, this leaves you with an important question:

How do you keep your Rich Media active and manageable without rebuilding everything from scratch?

With Optiwise.ai, you can re-create Rich Media using your existing Amazon A+ Content, build and customize Below-the-Fold (BTF) modules using pre-defined templates, and track your Rich Media performance in one place.

What Happens When Rich Media Disappears From Your Walmart Listings?

Rich Media Content, also known as Enhanced Brand Content (EBC) or Below-the-Fold (BTF) Content, gives you more space on your Walmart product pages to tell your product and brand story.

You can use it to showcase product benefits, comparison charts, lifestyle imagery, videos, and other supporting content that helps shoppers better understand your products and make informed purchase decisions.

When that content is missing, it can affect more than how your product page looks.

Lower Conversion From Buyer Uncertainty

Without product videos, 360-degree views, interactive elements, and other visual details, shoppers have fewer ways to understand how your product looks or works in real life. That uncertainty can make shoppers more hesitant to complete a purchase.

Less Engagement on Your Product Pages

Rich Media gives shoppers more reasons to explore your product beyond the basic details. They can watch demonstrations, compare features, understand different use cases, and learn more about your brand.

Without these elements, shoppers may have fewer reasons to continue exploring the page and may exit before purchasing.

Reduced Brand Trust

Rich Media gives shoppers visual information that helps connect your product claims with the actual product.

Without it, shoppers may have less information to build confidence in the product and brand. NielsenIQ data shows that 76% of shoppers prefer rich media when shopping online, highlighting the importance of richer visual content in the online buying experience.

Potential Impact on Search Visibility

Omitting Rich Media Content can limit your product’s growth potential on Walmart. Although optional, it gives shoppers more ways to engage with your products and can help attract more traffic. Without it, your listings may have fewer opportunities to stand out in search.

Weaker Brand Recall

Videos, animations, and interactive content give shoppers more memorable visual cues to associate with your products and brand.

According to Nielsen research, brand recall contributed 38.7% to brand awareness. Without these memorable elements, brands may have fewer opportunities to stay top of mind when shoppers are ready to purchase.
