In a statement, Walmart said: “At Walmart, we’re all about saving people money so they can live better, but saving money is not only for our customers.

“Walmart e-commerce has seen tremendous growth in the past two years, and for sellers, big and small, looking to join a curated marketplace that focuses on trust, transparency and fairness there has never been a better time to start selling on Walmart.com.”

In addition to New-Seller Savings, Walmart has extended its Walmart Fulfilment Services (WFS) Intro Offer incentive for sellers who want to use the retailer’s low-cost fulfilment option.

Approved sellers will earn 90 days of free storage and receive a 10% discount on fulfilment fees if they enrol in WFS and complete the setup process, as well as dispatch one item to its fulfilment centre, by 30 June.
