Online marketplaces in the past few years

This switch in consumer behavior attracted numerous sellers to onboard online marketplaces resulting in its tremendous growth. Here are a few examples of various online marketplaces from the U.S. depicting eCommerce growth in the past few years.

  • In its last fiscal year 2020, Walmart’s revenue amounted to 559 billion U.S. dollars worldwide. The retailers’ revenue increased by approximately 7%.

Eliminating restrictions to onboard Chinese Vendors

As Walmart removes its restrictions for selling in the US, it attempts to close the gap with other eCommerce platforms and tap into China’s vast network of manufacturers. US marketplaces are a great platform for Chinese (and most Asian) vendors to reach customers.

As Chinese vendors make up almost 75% of the seller base for some marketplaces, Walmart is likely to see similar growth.Walmart Integration

    Can you share more details on getting set up for Walmart.com? We're a Canadian business, and it seems this hasn't been developed out yet.

    Thanks,
