Sell on Walmart DSV (drop ship vendor)

How do you become a Walmart DSV supplier?

Walmart’s supplier onboarding readiness checklist sets out the path. Approval comes from Walmart, not Acenda.

  1. Get a D-U-N-S number. It is required for registration.
  2. Register with a legal name that matches your W-9 or W-8 tax form.
  3. Review and accept the Master Supplier and Business Terms Agreements.
  4. Add the Walmart.com DSV contacts.
  5. Map your facilities to your agreement.
  6. Complete item setup.

What are Walmart’s DSV requirements?

Walmart’s checklist says a supplier must answer yes to every DSV question to be considered eligible. The questions cover:

  • A US-based presence and account management that can give same-day support.
  • At least one inventory feed per day.
  • Acknowledging orders within four business hours.
  • On-site warehouse management during weekday business hours.
  • Shipping the same day, every weekday, with a 12pm or later order cutoff.
  • Shipping with the carriers and ship methods Walmart assigns.
  • Plain, unbranded packages.

Walmart DSV vs Walmart Marketplace

A DSV supplier signs Walmart’s supplier agreements and ships Walmart.com orders from its own facility. A Walmart Marketplace seller sells as a third party in Seller Center. Acenda supports both from one catalog, one inventory pool and one order queue. For the Marketplace setup, see how to integrate with Walmart Marketplace.

How does Acenda support Walmart DSV?

Acenda supports Walmart DSV as a dropship (2P) program: purchase orders, acknowledgements, inventory, shipments and invoices are exchanged automatically. Walmart DSV runs from the same Acenda catalog, inventory pool and order queue as your marketplace (3P) channels, on a flat-rate fee per channel. See EDI and drop-ship integrations.

How to integrate with Walmart DSV
