Walmart Marketplace account management for brands ready for a second channel
Walmart.com reaches a large US audience with far fewer sellers than Amazon. We handle the application, listings, fulfilment setup and advertising so the channel is built properly from day one.
What Walmart account management includes
- Seller application: preparing the business details and documents Walmart reviews before approval.
- Item setup: listings created individually or in bulk, mapped to the right categories and attributes.
- Listing quality: content, images and attributes improved against Walmart’s Listing Quality score.
- Pricing: competitive pricing that respects Walmart’s rules and protects your Buy Box.
- Fulfilment: Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) onboarding, or seller-fulfilled shipping set up to meet delivery standards.
- Advertising: Sponsored Search campaigns through Walmart Connect.
- Performance: order defect rate, on-time shipping and reviews monitored against Walmart’s seller standards.
How Walmart differs from Amazon
Walmart does not charge a monthly subscription; sellers pay category-based referral fees. Sellers are approved individually, and Walmart expects competitive prices compared with other sites. Listings are scored for quality, and that score affects visibility. Advertising is less crowded than on Amazon in many categories, although tools and data are less detailed. Amazon listings cannot simply be copied across: titles, attributes and images need adapting to Walmart’s style guide.
How we work
- Readiness check: catalog, pricing and fulfilment reviewed before applying.
- Application and setup: account approved, payments and shipping configured.
- Launch catalog: best sellers listed first, then the wider range.
- Optimize and advertise: listing quality improvements and Sponsored Search.
- Monthly review: sales, advertising and account health.
What to expect
Approval is at Walmart’s discretion and requirements differ for US and international sellers, so we confirm the current criteria before applying. Sales on a new Walmart account usually build gradually. Most brands see Walmart as a meaningful addition to Amazon, not a replacement for it.

Frequently asked questions
Can non-US sellers sell on Walmart Marketplace?
Walmart accepts international sellers from a number of approved countries, subject to extra verification. We check eligibility for your business location before starting the application.
What is WFS?
Walmart Fulfillment Services is Walmart’s equivalent of FBA. You send stock to Walmart’s fulfilment centres and they pick, pack, ship and handle returns. WFS items earn faster delivery tags that improve visibility.
Do I need a UPC or GTIN for Walmart?
Yes, in most cases. Walmart requires valid product identifiers, normally GS1-issued, unless an exemption is granted.
