Got Questions?

Walmart DSV to 3P Migration FAQs

Why should I consider a Walmart DSV to 3P migration?

The DSV model often limits control over pricing and listing representation. Migrating to Walmart 3P services allows you to manage your own inventory levels and strategically adjust prices in a competitive marketplace. This transition moves your brand from a wholesale relationship to a direct-to-consumer model on Walmart.com, providing better insight into your customer base.

How does the fulfillment process change when moving to 3P?

In the process for Walmart DSV, Walmart's drop ship vendor team covers the cost of shipping and provides the packing slip. As a 3P marketplace seller, you or your 3PL handle the packing and shipment. You must sync your warehouse data to the Walmart Seller Center to maintain real-time visibility of inventory levels.

Does SellCord help with Walmart DSV integration removal?

Yes, we manage the technical deactivation of EDI or API connections used for Walmart DSV orders. We then integrate your systems with the 3P Seller Center for a seamless data flow. This end-to-end service simplifies the complexity of moving between Walmart marketplace models while maintaining your brand's sales momentum.

Can I use Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) as a 3P seller?

Absolutely. Shifting to 3P marketplace seller status grants you access to Walmart Fulfillment Services, which provides fast shipping and badge benefits. WFS handles the fulfillment, customer service, and refund processing, offering a cost-effective alternative to managing your own warehouse. This aligns with Walmart's marketplace growth levers.

How do performance metrics differ between DSV and 3P?

DSV focuses on wholesale fill rates, whereas 3P performance metrics center on order defect rate, valid tracking, and customer service. SellCord uses Dashna to provide actionable insights into these metrics, helping you maintain a high seller rating. This transparency allows for continuous optimization across domestic and international markets.

Will my products on Walmart.com lose their rankings during migration?

A seamless migration strategy preserves historical data. We optimize your product listings specifically for the 3P Walmart algorithm to improve search visibility from day one. By combining strategic advertising with keyword-rich product descriptions, we facilitate organic growth that typically exceeds previous DSV performance.
