Characteristics and strategies of Walmart Sellers
After a successful application to sell on the Walmart Marketplace, Walmart invites the incoming sellers to set up Marketplace accounts in three categories. These categories are:
- First Party Seller(1P)- Seller sells a product in bulk to Walmart, which lists the products under them, taking over the pricing, marketing, and product fulfillment.
- Third-party Seller(3P) sells the product to Walmart but retains control over marketing, product pricing, and product fulfillment. However, the seller may use Walmart Fulfillment Forms or other third-party fulfillment centers.
- Dropship Vendor(DSV)- Seller sells the product to Walmart at wholesale prices but not necessarily in bulk. The product is listed under Walmart, controlling the pricing, marketing, and product listing. The DSV sellers handle inventory storage and product fulfillment.
According to Jungle Scout, 29% of Walmart Sellers are first-party sellers, 79% are third parties, and 8% use both 1P and 3P accounts.
