Walmart Marketplace is a massive and rapidly growing Marketplace. "In 2017, Walmart posted an impressive 60% year-over-year e-commerce growth. Walmart is the third-largest online marketplace in the U.S. and it’s also growing total online sales faster than Amazon and eBay." (What Retailers Can Learn From Walmart's Incredible E-Commerce Growth In 2017). To be a successful in e-commerce, it is vital that your inventory is available for purchase on Walmart.com.

To fulfill your Walmart Marketplace orders it's important to have the proper operations in place to ensure you are compliant with Walmart's shipping policies. This includes the policies around Shipping Methods and Timing and Packaging Rules. Notably, "Sellers should not use FBA or any system that will deliver items purchased through Walmart in competitors' packaging, as this implicitly advertises another marketplace and causes customer confusion." (Frequently Asked Questions: Shipping and Refunds).

From your Account Settings page on Zentail you can easily enable or disable a warehouse to be able to fulfill orders from a specific channel.

Having inventory that you can fulfill in a timely manner, with brand-neutral packaging, available for sell on Walmart Marketplace is very important to your success as a Walmart Marketplace seller. The more SKUs available for purchase on Walmart.com the greater your sales can be!
