Skip to content Walmart Marketplace is a website where Walmart sells products from other companies like the 3rd party sellers. It was launched in 2006 and it has grown to be one of the largest e-commerce sites in the world.
Walmart launched the WFS (Walmart Fulfilment Services) program in February 2020, just before the pandemic sparked a lockdown across the world.
Who wouldn’t want their products to be seen by hundreds of millions of potential shoppers each year?
Listing on Walmart Marketplace is easy and our Seller Guarantees and pricing discounts will help you make your items stand out from the crowd.
The marketplace offers a variety of products to its customers and they can choose between different brands, price points, and product categories. Walmart Marketplace has over 1 million sellers on its website and serves more than 140 million customers every year.
Walmart Marketplace’s target market is people who are looking for convenience when it comes to shopping. They want to be able to get everything they need from one place without having to go out of their way or do any extra work.
Remember that Walmart already has the trust of older generations that never shopped on Amazon or anywhere else online. So if you have an older demographic buying your products, Walmart Seller Central may be the ideal marketplace for you.
Walmart has a variety of marketing tips for sellers, which will help them promote their business. They are:
