Learn how Walmart Marketplace fees, WFS fulfillment, and buyer shipping affect net profit
How does the Walmart Marketplace referral fee calculation work?▼
Walmart calculates referral fees as a percentage of the total referral base, which includes the item selling price plus any shipping charges billed to the buyer. For example, a $50 item with $5 shipping has a $55 referral base.
What is WFS (Walmart Fulfillment Services)?▼
Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) is Walmart's 1P fulfillment network (similar to Amazon FBA). WFS handles storage, picking, packing, shipping, and customer service for a per-unit fulfillment fee.
How do tiered referral fees work on Walmart Marketplace?▼
Certain categories have tiered fee structures. For instance, in Cell Phones, Walmart charges 15% on the portion of the referral base up to $250, and 8% on any amount above $250.
What is the Walmart New-Seller Savings promotion?▼
Walmart offers eligible new marketplace sellers up to a 75% discount on referral fees for their first 90 days, capped at $75,000 in lifetime savings.
Why does shipping charged to the buyer increase the referral fee?▼
