About Walmart
Where US households shop.
Walmart Marketplace is the third-party seller programme on Walmart.com. Approved brands list items next to Walmart's own assortment and reach the same customers who already shop the chain in store and online. Walmart itself was founded in 1962 by Sam Walton in Bentonville, Arkansas, and the marketplace is the route most US ecommerce brands take to sit alongside that retail footprint without being a Walmart vendor.
The catch is the same as on every marketplace. Seller Center shows headline orders and a payout balance, but referral fees by category, WFS storage and pick-pack costs, return rates by SKU, ad spend through Walmart Connect and the actual margin per order all live in different exports. Pulled into a warehouse next to your Shopify or BigCommerce data, your Akeneo catalog and your accounting, the Walmart channel finally shows up with a margin number that holds up against the rest of the P&L.
