Why Most Walmart Sellers Struggle (and How to Stop It)
Walmart has exploded into one of the most powerful online marketplaces in the U.S.—with trusted brand power, massive customer traffic, and an open lane for sellers looking to break out beyond Amazon.
But while the opportunity is massive, most sellers silently fail—and don’t even realize why.
At ReyEcomOps, we work with sellers who’ve tried going it alone—and hit roadblock after roadblock. From backend errors to fulfillment chaos, Walmart can feel like a mystery until you understand how it really works.
Let’s break it down.
The Real Reason You’re Not Growing on Walmart
The biggest mistake sellers make on Walmart? Thinking it works like every other platform.
It doesn’t.
Walmart has a different backend, a stricter algorithm, and invisible pitfalls that quietly kill your visibility and conversions. Here are the combined problems most sellers face—often without realizing it:
- Low product visibility due to incomplete category mapping, suppressed listings, or wrong variation structure
- Poor content control, where Walmart overrides your product titles, images, and attributes—even if you’re the brand owner
- Backend confusion from vague product data, missing fields, and inconsistent attribute values that prevent search ranking
- Misaligned pricing, where Walmart detects cheaper listings elsewhere and either unpublishes your item or reduces visibility
- Dashboard blind spots, with limited alerts for suppressed listings, delayed shipments, or return issues that hurt your seller score
- WFS onboarding issues, including inventory mismatches, poor labeling, or unexpected limits that delay fulfillment
- Ad inefficiency, where sellers run campaigns without a proper funnel strategy, wasting spending without getting results.
- Manual overload, where time is lost handling order problems, returns, and cases—hurting response times and performance metrics
Each of these issues can quietly erode your growth. Together, they can cripple it.
