How Walmart Marketplace fees work (2026)

Referral fee = item price × category referral rate (6–15%)

Walmart's referral fee covers payment processing — unlike Amazon, there is no separate payment fee for most sellers.

There is no monthly subscription, listing fee or per-order fixed fee. The referral fee is the entire platform cost.

If you use WFS (Walmart Fulfillment Services), add the per-unit fulfillment fee to 'other costs' — it works like Amazon's FBA fee and depends on size tier.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Walmart Marketplace charge?

A referral fee of 6–15% depending on category (15% for most general merchandise), and nothing else on standard sales.

Is Walmart cheaper than Amazon FBA?

Often slightly — no subscription and no separate payment fee. But compare with real numbers: run both calculators with the same item.

Does Walmart charge on shipping?

The referral fee applies to the item price; buyer-paid shipping on standard listings is not subject to the referral fee.
