Webinar on Sept.
8 will explore new tools and services to help Canada-based sellers scale up and sell to 120
million monthly U.S. customers
BENTONVILLE, Ark and MISSISSAUGA, ON, Aug. 30,
2022 /CNW/ - Offering Canadian companies a
straightforward way to expand stateside, Walmart is recruiting
Canada-based sellers to join its
flagship U.S. Marketplace and serve a growing base of more than 120
million loyal online shoppers each month.
Entrepreneurs and e-commerce sellers interested in being among
the first to explore the opportunity can sign up for the Virtual
Walmart Global Seller Summit - Canada on Sept.
8. It will feature practical sessions hosted by Walmart
executives and cross-border payments provider Payoneer. Attendees
will learn how they can take advantage of simplified onboarding,
streamlined fulfilment, targeted promotions, integrated financial
services and other support to help them rapidly scale and grow in
the U.S. and Canada.
The drive to attract Canadian companies builds on decades of
Walmart's engagement with retailing and e-commerce in Canada. Giving sellers on the thriving
Walmart.ca marketplace an opportunity for international expansion,
it also comes as local businesses, especially small- and
medium-sized enterprises, are looking to reap the benefits of the
Canada-United States-Mexico free trade agreement (CUSMA).
Darren Carithers, senior vice
president of Marketplace development for Walmart International,
said that Walmart is focused on growing its U.S. and Canada marketplaces and investing heavily in
new tools and services for sellers.
"Building e-commerce marketplaces that both customers and
sellers trust has been a priority for Walmart for years. Whether
you are an experienced Walmart seller or new to the Walmart family,
we want to help you succeed on our U.S. and Canadian marketplaces,"
Carithers said. "By working together, we can serve more customers
and help everyone save money and live a better life."
Among the world-class tools available to help sellers streamline
cross-border operations and grow their stateside business is
Walmart Fulfillment Services. It allows Canadian sellers to use
Walmart's extensive market-leading U.S. supply chain expertise and
infrastructure to offer delivery across the contiguous U.S. in as
fast as one to two days. Sellers can also use the Walmart Connect
media platform to run impactful advertising and marketing campaigns
and access Seller Center tools that help them speed up processes,
identify growth opportunities and optimize their catalog and
listings.
"Payoneer's mission is to connect small businesses to the global
economy. Our partnership with Walmart gives our sellers the
opportunity to work with one of the biggest names in retail. We are
delighted to see more Canadian entrepreneurs and small businesses
joining the global digital economy and selling to U.S. consumers on
Walmart Marketplace," said Ya Wen, senior vice president, Americas,
Payoneer (NASDAQ: PAYO).
