Opened to India sellers in 2021, Walmart Marketplace now hosts tens of thousands of SKUs from products made, grown or assembled in India. Walmart’s U.S. marketplace is one of the fastest growing eCommerce platforms in the world. Its revenue increased 45 percent last fiscal year while the number of Walmart Sellers grew by 20 percent.
Walmart Marketplace has no monthly fees or setup cost for new sellers. Earlier this year, the company announced the New Seller Savings programs where participants receive up to 50 percent off referral and Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) fees for their first 90 days on Walmart.com. WFS provides a convenient and cost-effective solution for sellers to get their inventory closer to U.S. customers.

Walmart Marketplace strives to unlock the potential of Indian businesses by giving sellers access to customers around the world. Through dedicated onboarding support and expertise in navigating global supply chains, we’re empowering sellers with the tools they need to thrive in the U.S. marketplace and beyond.”
