Linnworks and Payoneer support Walmart drive to recruit UK sellers to US marketplace
Walmart has begun a push to bring UK exporters to its US Walmart Marketplace, an online offering where third-party sellers serve a base of more than 120 million shoppers each month.
Approved sellers will be offered the services of a dedicated onboarding team, as well as access to tools and services to help them rapidly scale up across the Atlantic.
Darren Carithers, Senior Vice President of Marketplace Development at Walmart International, says: “We are confident that UK sellers will be able to leverage Britain’s reputation for design and manufacturing excellence and product quality to thrive as Marketplace sellers and bring more choice to our US customers with speed and scale.”
Walmart will host a UK Sellers Summit in London on 17th June, with the support of PayTech firm Payoneer and Linnworks, a commerce automation platform.
Leading manufacturers and exporters from various sectors, ranging from fashion, home and kitchen to sporting goods, beauty and entertainment, have been invited to attend.
Payoneer and Linnworks will work with Walmart to offer UK sellers integrated payment options and centralised inventory and order management workflows to help them simplify and streamline cross-border operations and scale as demand grows.
James Allum, SVP and Regional Head of Europe at Payoneer, says: “Payoneer is on a journey to empower businesses of all sizes, from all nations to grow across borders.”
“We are delighted to see more UK companies joining the global digital economy as sellers on Walmart Marketplace in the US. We look forward to continuing to help them manage their cross-border payments, access working capital and compliance support, and expand around the world.”
Callum Campbell, CEO at Linnworks, says: “Meeting customers wherever they are choosing to shop online, with the right product at the right time is vital to success in business today.”
“Walmart Marketplace removes barriers for U.K. sellers by connecting them to high-demand shoppers and offering a straightforward fulfilment solution. Linnworks is here to help sellers effortlessly integrate with Walmart Marketplace, so they can grow revenues, automate their processes, and unlock their business potential.”
