Those are the most crucial items, but this is not all the data you will need. Before you start the application, we encourage you first to visit the application link or review all the application steps listed at the bottom of this post. Get familiar with the data that you will need to provide, so you can collect it ahead of time.
If you are based in the following countries: Canada, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, UK, or Mexico and have a US tax ID number (TIN), you can also apply.
When filling out the application:
- The application process should take about 10-15 minutes if you have all your information available.

- International sellers – If you are based in the following countries: Canada, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, UK, or Mexico and have a US tax ID number (TIN), you can also apply. If not, you may need to have your business operations established in the US. That includes a registered company and physical address, and your products should be stored and shipped from the local US warehouses or Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS).
- The Walmart team has a very strict process for accepting sellers. Make sure the provided information is accurate and complete.

Hi,
Can you share more details on getting set up for Walmart.com for NON-US Sellers? They have opened their platform for non-us sellers but it seems this hasn’t been developed out yet. I don’t see any specific requirements.
Thanks
Hi Hazel, yes, you can apply to sell on Walmart.com as a non-US seller. Please contact our support (support@geekseller.com) and we will guide you through the process.
can you tell me LLC and residental address is that work on Walmart ( i have LLC registered )
Hello Ngic, Yes. When you register your LLC you can choose a residential address as your business address. This is very common, as many businesses operate from home offices, and just Walmart wants to ensure your company is in the US. More crucial is your fulfillment capacities. Usually, companies rent a warehouse or hire a 3PL company, but in theory, you could ship from your presidential address as well. As long as you can guarantee the speed and quality of shipments.
Thank you for this info.
Question: Do they look at the age of your LLC as a requirement for approval?
Yes, Walmart may consider the age of your LLC when deciding whether to approve you as a supplier. A longer operational history often signals stability and consumer demand. Plus, it provides tax documentation demonstrating your Gross Merchandise Value after a year. However, a younger company with strong online reviews and robust sales can also be approved, as Walmart values overall business health and potential, not just longevity.
