Businesses seeking to expand into North America's e-commerce market through Walmart Marketplace now have access to comprehensive support services designed to simplify the onboarding process. These services aim to reduce common barriers to entry while providing operational guidance for new sellers.
Key Benefits for Marketplace Sellers
The program offers qualified participants potential commission reductions of up to 75% during initial operations. This financial incentive, combined with multi-site access across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, provides sellers with expanded market reach from their launch period.
Service Components
- Official Onboarding Assistance: The service includes documentation preparation and application tracking to streamline the Walmart Marketplace approval process.
- Business Verification Guidance: Specialized support helps international sellers navigate the documentation requirements for business registration and cross-border commerce compliance.

Service Provider Considerations
The platform operates as an intermediary for third-party service providers. While the service facilitates connections between sellers and providers, it maintains a neutral position regarding service quality assessments and contractual agreements between parties. Dispute resolution remains the responsibility of the involved parties, with the platform offering optional mediation services when requested.
