In 2021, there was no inventory storage limit, which made selling on Walmart<\/a> an appealing opportunity.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nWho Should Sell On Walmart?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Ken says if you\u2019re selling a $3,000 product, you might not be a good fit for the Walmart marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But if you\u2019re selling consumables or items that are under $50, then selling on Walmart provides a very good potential. Additionally, Ken mentions that the online market is like a test bed for the retail shelf space. So if you find products on a Walmart shelf that are similar to yours, then you\u2019re most probably going to be a good fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Going Global<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Walmart marketplace is primarily US-centric, but has started to become global by adding non-US international sellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And touching on the subject of business growth, Ken says Walmart is going to expand, so you may want to get into the marketplace where there\u2019s most opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Application Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
David and Ken give a rundown of the application process and what to expect if you want to get into the Walmart marketplace:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- It starts with an online application that takes a few weeks to process. This is part of the barrier to entry that keeps retailers from selling on the platform.<\/li>
- The next step is deciding on your fulfillment process. Options available are doing fulfillment yourself, using 3PLs, or using the Walmart Fulfillments Services (WFS).
