Retailers join Walmart's Marketplace
Walmart has launched Walmart Marketplace, a new program on Walmart.com that enables customers to buy products from a select group of retailers.
Walmart said the new Marketplace format gives customers access to an expanded assortment of items from such popular online categories as home, baby, apparel and toys. The Walmart Marketplace retailers include CSN Stores, eBags and Pro Team.
"We've added nearly one million new items to our online assortment with the introduction of Walmart Marketplace, making it even easier for customers to find more of what they want when shopping Walmart.com," said Kerry Cooper, Walmart.com's chief marketing officer. "Working with select retailers, known for their strong customer service and large online assortments of new merchandise, gives our customer more reasons to choose Walmart.com when shopping online."
All purchases from a Walmart Marketplace retailer are managed through Walmart.com's checkout process. The Walmart Marketplace retailer will then manage and support the order, including shipping and handling, customer service, exchanges and returns.
