We are working hard to build a convenient, transparent, easy-to-use eCommerce fulfillment program that third-party sellers and brands can trust, which will allow them to have control over their business. Walmart is a pioneer in transforming retail into an omnichannel experience, offering third-party partners the ability to leverage its extensive ecommerce capabilities to reach new shoppers wherever they are or however they want to shop. As a valued partner, our teams and tools are available to help you make the best decisions in item selection, brand offerings, and inventory forecasting.

Please submit your application in Seller Center by applying through the WFS icon.

Yes. Currently, we can only onboard sellers who are already live on our Marketplace. To get started, please submit your application to be a Marketplace seller here. Even if you plan to only fulfill your items through WFS, you must have completed the Marketplace application and be live to onboard and ship your items to WFS fulfillment centers.

 WFS will only fulfill items sold on Walmart.ca at this time. However, we will pilot the fulfillment of additional items in the future. 

We recommend that our WFS sellers bring their best-selling items to Walmart.ca. Our best practices indicate that GMV growth is best achieved by setting up a minimum of 50 SKUs and replenishing inventory continuously. In addition, please priortize SKUs that are priced greater than $35 as Walmart customers get free shipping above that pricing threshold. 

Please make sure that participating items are priced in accordance with our Marketplace Pricing Policy Also, since WFS has free shipping for all items above $35, we are seeing a much better conversion for these items as it reduces drop-off after cart additions.

Products with multiple offers on Walmart.ca may not fit the program well. Also, we do not recommend including products with poor item page content, as those listings may not convert well. Items with a price less than $35 are not a good fit. 

• Prioritize items and brands new to Walmart.ca.
• Select products that are priced competitively.
• Look at the existing item assortment to see which ones are gathering traction and identify opportunities. 
• Ensure high-quality item page content. We have seen that items that have comprehensive, trustworthy reviews tend to outperform competitors.
• Provide enough inventory to meet customer demand.
• Ensure participating items meet Walmart Marketplace guidelines for prohibited/restricted products.

 At this time, there are no minimum requirements. We recommend setting up at least 50 items with continuous inventory replenishment to see the full value and GMV growth. There will be replenishment recommendations once your item is live, which can help in inventory planning.

There are no current minimums or limitations on the amount of product you can send to our fulfillment center. However, this is subject to change as the program expands.

Our standard referral fees per category type still apply. WFS fees are in addition to Marketplace referral fees.

WFS items are displayed with a "Fulfilled by Walmart" tag to indicate that Walmart fulfills these Marketplace orders. We see a significant boost to Marketplace items due to this differentiated branding.

Walmart is responsible for all WFS customer returns. Customers follow the existing, "sold and shipped-by Walmart" item returns processes. All return shipping labels are configured to return to Walmart Return Centers for inspection and handling.

Today, WFS requires sellers to send inventory to Walmart FC with a carrier of their choice. 

We ship in standard Walmart-branded packaging.

Yes. WFS currently has fulfillment centers in Mississauga and Calgary. We are in the process of activating more centers across Canada. You can place inventory in all of the eligible locations as per demand suggested recommendations.

WFS delivers across Canada. However, items stocked solely in the Calgary FC and not in the Mississauga FCs will be unavailable to our maritime province (NB, NS, PEI, NF) customers. Please ensure you maintain inventory in the Mississauga FCs for complete coverage. If you're unable to do so, these orders will need to be seller-fulfilled.

No. At this time, we only ship orders to addresses within Canada.

WFS is a Walmart Marketplace service; thus, we do not circumvent decisions made by the Trust and Safety team. If you have questions regarding prohibited items or brand implications, please create a Partner Support Case in Seller Help.
