Walmart Free 2-Day Shipping is a program that guarantees free delivery within 2 business days. Eligible items are displayed with 2-day shipping tags that increase product visibility and result in improved sales and conversions.
Eligible sellers can manage the 2-Day tag from Zentail. This is managed on a warehouse to warehouse basis. Meaning, if a product has inventory within the enabled warehouse, Zentail will send the tag to that listing on Walmart. This article will cover:
