Walmart Embraces Amazon MCF: A New Era of Cross-Platform Fulfillment for eCommerce

Sellers are expected to provide an accurate order prep time (SOPT) when listing items and ship on or before the Ship by Date (Expected Ship Date).
Sellers are expected to list inventory that they have a possession of, and are able to ship it immediately within order processing time (SOPT).
Metric | Definition | Target |

Late Ship Rate | % of orders shipped after Expected Ship Date in a 30 day period | <4% |
Sellers are required to provide customer service for all orders placed on Sears.com. Sellers must respond to Member and Sears Support questions, inquiries and requests submitted through phone, message center or email. Responses must be made to all inquiries within 1 business day of being contacted.
CUSTOMER SERVICE PHONE NUMBER
Sellers are required to provide a phone support. A verifiable customer service phone number must be provided to sears, with an assigned authority to answer calls during customer service hours. In case if you use the voicemail, it should contain following information.
CUSTOMER SERVICE EMAIL ADDRESS

CATEGORY MAPPING
To get listed on Sears.com the products have to mapped to their relevant category. Items without a category will not be uploaded. Sellers must also ensure the category mapped is right and relevant, for their items to sell well. Items mapped wrong, will never get right audience leading to plummeting of sales, and loss of connection with buyers. For example, a Shirt mapped in Home decor category will be found by buyers who are predominantly housewives looking to decorate or furnish their houses. That will be a mismatch.
If vendor is not sure about the right category for their products then they can search their product on Sears.com.
IMAGE: When the product image is not proper that is not according to the products upload on Sears.com.
PRODUCT CONTENT
The product description and other fields are crucial and need to be optimized for performance.
META KEYWORD
Meta keywords come in handy while selling your products. These keywords help buyers to land on your product pages, when their query finds a match.
Meta keywords are designed exclusively for search engines, where they find visibility if search queries matches the keywords.
Example- Suppose a buyer want to search a dress of blue color so he searches for queries like this-
Your products must contain meta keywords like ‘blue’ and ‘dress’ and the buyer will find your page with relevant product he has been trying to find. If you can add more meta keywords, more variety of buyers will find you, increasing the chances of seller landing a sale.
