According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketplacepulse.com\/articles\/walmart-reaches-100000-active-marketplace-sellers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Marketplace Pulse<\/a>, it doubled its size in just 18 months, reaching over <strong>100,000 active sellers<\/strong>. But it\u2019s not just the numbers that are impressive, it\u2019s the quality of integration within Walmart\u2019s ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Initially, the marketplace welcomed international sellers, particularly from China. But recent trends show a shift, with more US-based sellers joining the platform. This reflects Walmart\u2019s strategic focus on creating a robust ecosystem that integrates its online marketplace with Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS), enabling sellers to manage inventory and shipping seamlessly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What makes Walmart\u2019s approach unique is the blend of its online and offline resources. For example, sellers using WFS benefit from features like the ability to pack items from Walmart retail and marketplace in the same shipment. This integration is not just about growing the platform; it\u2019s about optimizing it for quality and customer satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13170\" src=\"https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Walmart-Marketplace.png\" alt=\"Walmart Marketplace\" width=\"2798\" height=\"1354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Walmart-Marketplace.png 2798w, https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Walmart-Marketplace-300x145.png 300w, https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Walmart-Marketplace-1024x496.png 1024w, https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Walmart-Marketplace-768x372.png 768w, https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Walmart-Marketplace-1536x743.png 1536w, https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Walmart-Marketplace-2048x991.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2798px) 100vw, 2798px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_basics_of_Walmart_dropshipping\"><\/span><b>The basics of Walmart dropshipping<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_dropshipping\"><\/span><b>What is dropshipping?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dropshipping is a simple yet powerful ecommerce model where sellers don\u2019t stock inventory.
