(https://www.inventoryfalcon.com/blogs/what-is-walmart-marketplace) Published 2025-04-18 by Inventory Falcon Team. TL;DR: Walmart Marketplace lets third-party sellers list products on Walmart.com alongside Walmart's own inventory. No setup or monthly fees — Walmart takes a referral fee of 6–20% per sale depending on category. Access to 120+ million monthly visitors with less competition than Amazon. Requirements: a U.S. Business Tax ID (EIN), a U.S. business address or warehouse, and proven online sales experience. Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) is Walmart's answer to Amazon FBA — it handles storage, shipping, and customer service. ### What is Walmart Marketplace? Walmart Marketplace is an online platform that allows third-party sellers to list their products on Walmart.com alongside Walmart's own inventory. It functions similarly to Amazon's third-party seller program. Unlike traditional Walmart stores with limited shelf space, the Marketplace is open to a wide range of sellers and products. ### How Walmart Marketplace Works 1. Seller Application and Approval: Walmart reviews business credentials, history, and product offerings. 2. Product Listing: Upload your catalog manually or via integrations (Shopify, BigCommerce, APIs). 3. Order Management and Fulfillment: Sellers handle inventory, shipping, and returns — unless using Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS). 4. Payment and Fees: No setup or monthly fees; Walmart takes a referral fee per sale (usually 6%–20% by category). 5. Customer Service: Unless using WFS, sellers handle all inquiries, complaints, and returns. ### Benefits of Selling on Walmart Marketplace 1. Access to a massive audience: 120+ million unique monthly visitors on Walmart.com. 2. Brand credibility: the trust of the Walmart name. 3. No monthly fees: pay only when you sell (unlike Amazon's Professional Selling Plan). 4. Multichannel potential: syncs with Amazon, Shopify, eBay workflows. 5. Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS): Walmart's FBA equivalent — packing, shipping, and customer service, with improved delivery times and visibility. ### Who Can Sell on Walmart Marketplace? Basic requirements: a U.S. Business Tax ID (EIN), a U.S. business address or U.S.-based warehouse, demonstrated online sales experience, high-quality product images and descriptions, competitive pricing and shipping, and ability to meet Walmart's performance standards. International sellers are allowed with stricter verification. ### Tips for Success 1. Optimize product listings (images, SEO-friendly titles, detailed descriptions). 2. Price competitively — improves Buy Box chances. 3. Offer fast, reliable shipping (or use WFS). 4. Maintain strong metrics — late shipments and cancellations lead to penalties. 5. Respond quickly to customers. ### Common Challenges Strict standards, selective approval process, limited categories for some products, and high customer expectations (fast shipping, easy returns, responsive support). --- ## Blog: Top 10 eCommerce Platforms for Sellers in 2025 (https://www.inventoryfalcon.com/blogs/top-10-ecommerce-platforms-for-sellers-in-2025) Published 2025-04-10 by Inventory Falcon Team. TL;DR — Best platform by use case: Biggest marketplace reach: Amazon. Best rising marketplace: Walmart Marketplace (no listing fees, less competition). Best standalone store builder: Shopify. Best for scaling brands: BigCommerce (no transaction fees). Best for WordPress users: WooCommerce. Best for beginners: Wix eCommerce. Best for handmade/creative goods: Etsy and Squarespace. Best for used goods and auctions: eBay. Best for enterprise: Magento (Adobe Commerce). 1. Walmart Marketplace: Growing alternative to Amazon. Access to Walmart's trusted brand without listing fees; less competition than Amazon; integrates with Deliverr and ChannelAdvisor. Selective onboarding, slower approval, less mature seller tools. 2. Amazon: Unparalleled reach, millions of daily shoppers. FBA outsources storage, shipping, and customer service. High referral and subscription fees, limited branding, fierce competition. 3. eBay: Ideal for auctions, used items, collectibles, refurbished goods, international buyers. Low entry barrier; dated interface, fewer branding tools. 4. Etsy: Marketplace for handmade, vintage, and one-of-a-kind items. Built-in targeted audience; limited branding control, listing and transaction fees add up. 5. Shopify: Most widely used store builder, user-friendly, huge app store, multi-channel selling via social integrations. Costs add up with third-party apps; limited blogging tools. 6. BigCommerce: Built for fast-growing B2C/B2B brands. No transaction fees, multi-channel integration, robust SEO. Steeper learning curve, revenue-based tier upgrades. 7. Wix eCommerce: Drag-and-drop builder, great for beginners and small catalogs. Limited scalability and integrations as stores grow. 8. WooCommerce: The WordPress eCommerce plugin. Unmatched customization and strong SEO. Self-managed hosting, security, and updates. 9. Squarespace: Elegant design templates for creatives (photographers, artists, lifestyle brands). All-in-one, mobile-optimized; less functionality depth than Shopify/BigCommerce. 10. Magento (Adobe Commerce): Enterprise-level, open-source, highly customizable, multi-store support. Requires technical expertise and dedicated budget. Conclusion: The best platform depends on goals, technical skills, and product type. Shopify and BigCommerce offer control and scalability; Etsy and Amazon give instant traffic; WooCommerce suits custom WordPress shops; Walmart Marketplace opens new doors for seasoned sellers.
