Keeping in step with Walmart history and values, we are working hard to build a convenient, transparent, and easy-to-use ecommerce fulfillment program. It's a program that third-party sellers and brands can trust while still having control over their business. Walmart is a pioneer in transforming retail into an omnichannel experience. We offer third-party partners the ability to leverage Walmart 1P capabilities to help reach new shoppers wherever they are or however they want to shop. The WFS program offers sellers a fast, low-cost fulfillment service to grow their businesses and reach new customers. Sellers also get access to Walmart's omnichannel capabilities such as our  Free & Easy Returns program – a competitive advantage that no other 3PL service can offer.  Our teams and tools are available to help sellers make the best decisions in item selection, brand offerings, and inventory forecasting. If you need to contact Seller Support, you can create a case under the category Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) or contact Partner Support directly. (Contact information is available during onboarding.) Your dedicated Support team is available to answer questions Monday to Sunday: 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM MST | Mon–Fri 5:00 AM to 3:30 PM MST | Sat 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM MST | Sun

Yes, you must be a Marketplace seller to join WFS. Once you’ve created an account, add your WFS details and get ready to send your first Walmart-fulfilled item.

Yes, Walmart Multichannel Solutions is a flexible, cost-effective way to fulfill customer orders from all your eCommerce sites. Plus, manage inventory and returns from a central hub with help from Walmart’s world-class supply chain.

We recommend that our WFS sellers bring their best-selling items to Walmart.com. We prefer premium brands or items not currently listed on Walmart.com. Refer to our Product Requirements for specific item information. Our best practices indicate that GMV growth is best achieved by setting up a minimum of 50 SKUs and keeping inventory continually replenished.

Participating items should be priced competitively to win the Buy Box and perform well in WFS. Products that have multiple offers on Walmart.com may not be a good fit for the program. We also don’t recommend including products that have poor item page content as those listings may not convert well.

Based on WFS successes, we suggest:

• Prioritizing items and brands new to Walmart.com
• Selecting products that are priced competitively
• Ensuring high-quality item page content
• Providing enough inventory to meet customer demand
• Joining the Walmart Sponsored Products program to increase item visibility on Walmart.com
• Ensuring participating items meet Walmart Marketplace guidelines for prohibited/restricted products

See our customer testimonials on the WFS program page.

At this time, there are no minimum requirements. We recommend you set up at least 50 items with continuous inventory replenishment to see the full value and GMV growth we hope to help you build with WFS.

WFS items are displayed with a Fulfilled by Walmart tag to indicate that Walmart fulfills these Marketplace orders. In addition, items shipped within two days get 2-Day Shipping tags, which increases customer confidence thereby helping you organically create better search results.

Walmart processes and handles all WFS customer returns. Customers follow existing Marketplace returns processes. However, all return shipping labels are set to Walmart fulfillment centers for inspection and handling.

You’ll create an inbound order, including item and shipment details, in Seller Center. You’ll then be assigned a fulfillment center to send your inventory to.  We also offer the Walmart Preferred Carrier Program with discounted shipping rates for parcel, less-than-truckload and full truckload shipments. Once you’ve set up your WFS items and are ready to ship inventory, you can access this service in Seller Center. 

All of your WFS-fulfilled orders ship in standard Walmart-branded packaging.

No. At this time, we only ship orders to addresses within the 50 United States.

WFS is a Walmart Marketplace service, so we do not circumvent decisions made by the Trust and Safety team. If you have questions regarding prohibited items or brand implications, create a case with Seller Support.
