Although Walmart’s fast-growing and recognized platform presents an opportunity for third-party sellers to grow their multi-channel operations, many need support to stabilize and grow their business in this marketplace.
In particular, Walmart regulates keeping the lowest prices on products and will remove a product if the same one is listed at a lower price on another website. Many sellers will need to adjust to this revenue model that relies on high volume sales to maintain profitability, according to SellersFunding.
“Sellers face unique challenges running their businesses on Walmart,” says Ricardo Pero, Chief Executive Officer of SellersFunding. “We are providing them with the financial support and tools they need to operate the kind of high volume business that succeeds in this environment.
