Did you Google “Walmart Marketplace” and find this blog? Well, good! You see, we Googled that too, about a month ago, and found nothing. We wrote this blog for folks like you.
Walmart has recently launched
Walmart Marketplace where you can sell your products alongside Walmart products, thereby exposing them to a massive online audience. The trick is that it is not a separate website. Walmart Marketplace is just a clever add-on at
www.walmart.com.
So what is Walmart Marketplace?
Sellers can apply online to join the Walmart Marketplace and are selected based on reputation, sales projections, and alignment with Walmart’s values. Once a seller has joined the Walmart Marketplace they can sell their products on Walmart’s newly revamped website which allows customers to find, browse, and order products in just a few clicks.
Aside: Is anyone saying ‘Walmarketplace’ in their heads as they read this? That would have been a great name.
How are my orders fulfilled?
Once an order is placed, you will ship directly to the customer. It is also your responsibility to handle inquiries and returns/exchanges. Your business will receive payment for your sales and Walmart will deduct a reasonable referral fee.
