US Phone Number

You will need to provide the US phone support number. There are many options available, for example, a company Sonetel.com.

US Return Address

Sellers must provide a US address for returns (P.O. boxes are not accepted). This is typically a 3PL (Third-Party Logistics) company that you will use for shipping from within the US. If you are seeking quality 3PL companies, please refer to our integrations section, where we list several third-party fulfillment companies we recommend. Please note, you will not need the return address if you participate in the Walmart WFS (Walmart Fulfillment Services) program, as Walmart will handle the returns.

Step 2 – Registration

To apply, go to the application form and accurately provide the requested information.

Ensure that the phone number you select is from the country for which you claim eligibility. For example, if you apply as an Indian company, make sure you select and provide your Indian business phone number.
Enter the business name as it appears on your official documents.
Use your business email address; do not use @Gmail.com, @Yahoo.com, or any other similar providers.

After you submit the form, you will receive a verification email. From there, you should have access to your Walmart Seller Center.

Step 3 – Account Verification

This is the most crucial part, and you need to ensure you fill out all the forms and provide all the documents accurately. Do not make typos, and upload all the required documents. Any mistake will extend the process and likely lead to your account being automatically rejected.

Your business details MUST be entered exactly as they appear in your IRS records or other government-issued documents.

During the verification process, if you are asked for a US tax ID and don’t have one, simply select “No” and provide information about your home country business.

Business Verification can vary from a few minutes to two business days.

If your Business Verification status says “Failed,” this means Walmart is unable to verify the information provided. You need to review your business information and try resubmitting with the corrected information. If you still have trouble, contact Seller Support through the following path: Business Verification Questions and Issues > Verifying Status Update Questions.

What to do if your country is not eligible at the moment?

Walmart regularly adds new countries to the list, but it is hard to tell when your country will be eligible. You have a few options.

Create the US entity and start doing business in the US
You will need to create a company in the US to get your US Tax ID. We encourage you to hire a professional firm to help with taxes, getting a local address, filing for forming the company, and getting your US bank account.
Please note that before you apply to Walmart, you should first try to run your business in the US for at least a year, to establish your presence in the US and be able to show on your Walmart application your sales and your presence on other US marketplaces like eBay, or Amazon (make sure your reviews on those platforms are very good, as this is one of the indicators showing the quality of your offering).
Find local resellers
You might want to look for a local US company that already sells on Walmart and work with them directly, providing your inventory and making them your official reseller.

Selling on Walmart DSV, Canada, Chile, and Mexico as a non-US seller

We strongly recommend starting with the Walmart U.S. Marketplace before expanding to Canada or Mexico. Build your presence on Walmart.com as a 3P seller for several months to learn how the marketplace works, gain experience, and confirm that your products are in demand among Walmart shoppers. Once your Walmart U.S. account is in good standing, you may be eligible to add other markets. To add a market, select the U.S. flag icon on the Seller Center homepage, choose the market you want to sell in, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.

Doing business with Walmart as a DSV seller is available for selected merchants only, not all the companies are eligible. This program is designed for sellers with products proven to be in demand on Walmart.com. Usually, this is the Walmart team who contacts eligible sellers and invites them to the DSV program.
