Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) Setup and Management
Leverage Walmart's world-class logistics for 2-day delivery and Buy Box advantage
What is Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS)?
WFS is Walmart's third-party logistics service, comparable to Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA). Sellers send inventory to Walmart's fulfillment centers; Walmart then stores the inventory and picks, packs, and ships orders to customers with 2-day delivery to most of the continental US. WFS also handles customer service and returns for these orders. The 'Fulfilled by Walmart' tag boosts conversion and Buy Box eligibility.

Frequent Inquiries
Is WFS mandatory to sell on Walmart?
No, but it is highly recommended. WFS items win the Buy Box at a significantly higher rate and convert better. Sellers can also fulfill orders themselves (seller-fulfilled) or use approved 3PLs. We help you choose the right mix.
