hey how's it going youtube this is eman
los angeles and look
i think that amazon is the goliath when
it comes to e-commerce
they have so many fulfillment centers
they drive so much traffic to our
website
and they have so many customers that
shop on amazon
every single day and i've been selling
on amazon for the last
three years and here are currently my
numbers for the past
12 months as you can see i have sold
right over
800 000 worth of revenue on
amazon fba and i have been very
very lucky to be able to run a
successful ecommerce shop
but trust me i have tried it all i've
tried etsy i've tried ebay i've tried my
own shopify store
and they don't come close as to the
sales that i make on amazon
but it always doesn't hurt to try and in
the last
three years there's always been one
company that has so much
opportunity out there and i fully
haven't tried it out
and this is what this video is going to
be about and that is walmart
and ever since i started amazon fba
people have always said that there's so
much an
opportunity in walmart because there's
not a lot of sellers on that platform
they don't have the same number of
products on walmart than they do on
amazon and it's basically the wild wild
west you can come out with any product
and be successful
but i'm always very skeptical as far as
agreeing or
believing anybody else without trying it
myself
so last year i actually partnered up
with deliver which was the
only type of third party logistics
company that had a partnership with
walmart
to get basically that walmart badge that
allows you to get
two day shipping on the walmart.com
website and the thing is that in late
2020 i actually got approved
not to use deliver anymore but to
actually use walmart's fulfillment
services
which means it works kind of like amazon
fba
it's very passive they take care of all
the shipping any types of returns
any customer support and all i have to
do is just ship
in my boxes to their fulfillment center
so in this video i really want to talk
about how to get started on walmart
how to get approved to sell on walmart's
fulfillment services
and how to ship your inventory into
walmart
and the thing is that it in this video
i'm going to tell you if i think it's
even worth it so i hope you guys stick
around to the very end
but if you appreciate this level of
video and honesty as far as going into
my walmart account and showing you every
tips and tricks as far as what i use in
my everyday business
all i ask for in return is one like and
hopefully a subscription because as a
small youtuber
that is the only way i can grow but
let's go ahead and dive in
and talk about what is walmart's
marketplace and i know the number one
question
everyone's going to ask is what is
better is it walmart's fulfillment
services
or is it amazon fba and the cool thing
is that helium 10 actually came out with
the blog
explaining the two what are the
disadvantages and the advantages of
walmart fulfillment services
and even compared the amazon fba fees
on both walmart and amazon fba
and spoiler alert they're pretty much
very
similar there are some things that do
change
and the main thing is that usually on
walmart they only allow
an item that is 30 pounds or less so if
you do have
heavier items walmart might not be the
place
for you but if you are watching this
video you just care about
how to get started and selling on
walmart's marketplace
and i'll go ahead and link it down below
but it is this website here
which is the walmart fulfillment
services website and you have two
options here either you already have a
walmart account
where you'll go ahead and click to apply
for the walmart fulfillment services
or you are new completely to selling on
walmart and all you have to do is click
on this contact
us tab and once we get there it's going
to take us to an application setting
here
the biggest difference between selling
on walmart
as opposed to amazon is that on amazon
you
only need a social security number and
you're allowed to sell
on amazon as opposed to walmart you need
to have an
entity meaning you have to have a
corporation an llc
uh or a partnership itself you have to
have that ein number in order to apply
for walmart and the thing is that a few
years ago it was very hard to get
approved to sell on walmart
but the thing is that in 2020 they've
ramped up a lot of things they have the
fulfillment centers
they have these new programs that are
open now and now they have the support
to unload all new sellers so i have seen
a lot of individuals get approved
on walmart now where last year or years
prior
they were not so just apply and within
24 hours
you will get approved and if there is
any
missing things on your application or
you might get denied one more will let
you know what you need to submit in
order to get approved
so once you have signed up to sell on
walmart it's going to take you to this
main dashboard which is your seller
central account for walmart
and as you can see you have all my
products here but it's as easy as just
adding different products on this
section here
where you're able to add pictures item
contents the pricing of your products
and when you look at my account you
might notice that i only have
three of my five units that i'm
currently selling on walmart
and when you go to fulfillment type you
see that a few of them say wfs
eligible and some of them that say
seller fulfilled
these two items that are wfs eligible
i have been approved to sell on walmart
fulfillment services but i have not sent
an inventory as of yet
when we go to this tab right here it
says walmart filled items
now these items that i currently have
here are
now in walmart's fulfillment services
and i get those actual badges that say
the walmart plus
shipping but before we can actually send
any walmart inventory
in we have to make sure that our product
is
walmart fulfillment services eligible so
as we can see here
my shoe wipes are not as of yet so all
we're going to do is hit this more tab
here
and we're going to go down to convert to
wfs
and when we get to this section here all
we have to do
is go to the side that says listing
quality coach and we're gonna hit this
attribute here and we're just gonna fill
in
what walmart is requiring us to do so
let me go ahead and fill this out very
quickly
so i went ahead and filled out all the
information one thing that is key
is you have to make sure all of these
green little check marks are
checked off before moving forward if you
do not check up
all of these green check marks you will
not get approved for walmart fulfillment
services
i like to copy a lot what's already on
my amazon page onto walmart
because all the keywords are already
there for my items to be searchable
but after all that is said and done
we're just gonna hit the submit button
down here
and after that we're gonna wait a few
minutes and we're gonna get approved
to sell a walmart fulfillment services
if there is any errors walmart will let
you know
why you're not eligible for walmart
fulfillment services
so just after a few minutes we're able
to have that walmart fulfillment
eligible
on our product which is great but how do
we send our items into walmart
and the cool thing is that it's very
similar to amazon fba
all we have to do is go down here on the
left toggle side and we're gonna hit our
manage inventory tab
and once you get here a lot of your
products are going to be auto populated
already
at the moment right now i do have an
error here so i have to reach out to
walmart
but these two items are already ready to
go that i can actually send into amazon
and if it's easy as just creating
creating a new inbound order and then
from there we're going to tell walmart
how many items we're going to ship
into the fulfillment center and once you
fill that information one more
percentage to this page right here
if it sends you anywhere else how to get
to this page if we're going to hit that
toggle again
and we're going to hit send inventory so
right now i already created one
and the items have been shipped into
amazon so let's go ahead and take you
through
my actual inbound shipment so we're
going to go ahead and do here is click
manage shipment so i already stated i
was going to ship in these particular
items and
these quantities as well so again as i
mentioned before it's as
easy as actual amazon fba
because they have a partnership with
fedex that gives us very
deep discounted rates so as you can see
all we have to do is click this carrier
here
fill in all the information and walmart
will let us know
which fulfillment center all our items
are going to go
into and just like amazon they're gonna
tell us to print these labels out and
all we have to do
is ship in those boxes or take in those
boxes
to a fedex office so i hope that quick
tutorial really helped you out as far as
what
walmart fulfillment services is how to
get approved for walmart
how to get approved for walmart
fulfillment services and how to ship
in your inventory into their fulfillment
centers so
at the end of the day is it worth it i
don't know
i don't have high expectations only
because
amazon is a well-oiled machine and they
have all the customers the logistics
everything that you need to run a
successful e-commerce business
amazon already has that but i won't
complain if i get any sales with walmart
so that's the reason why i don't want to
basically recommend it to you
but i know that walmart is something
that a lot of people are interested in
so why not have me test it out so i'll
report back in about a month to a month
and a half so don't forget to subscribe
