Multi-Channel Prep

WFS has strict requirements

Non-compliant shipments get rejected or disposed of at your cost. We handle every requirement so your inventory clears inbound without issues.

WFS-Compliant Labeling

WFS requires item-level labels with GTIN barcodes and case-level labels with shipment IDs — different from FBA's FNSKU system.

We apply the correct labels to every unit and case.

Packaging Dimensions & Weight

WFS enforces maximum case weight (50 lbs) and dimensional limits. Oversized or overweight cases are rejected at the fulfillment center.

We measure, weigh, and repack to stay within spec.

Item Condition Inspection

WFS only accepts new-condition items. Damaged packaging, missing seals, or cosmetic defects will trigger rejections and chargebacks.

We inspect every unit before it ships.

Barcode Verification

WFS requires scannable GTIN (UPC/EAN) barcodes that match your Walmart product listing. Mismatches or unscannable codes halt inbound processing.

We verify every barcode scans correctly before shipping.

Complete WFS prep services

Everything your inventory needs to clear Walmart inbound — from labeling to shipment delivery.

WFS Labeling

Item-level and case-level labels printed and applied to Walmart's exact specifications, including GTIN barcodes and WFS shipment identifiers.

Packaging Compliance

Poly bagging, shrink wrapping, and case packing that meets WFS weight and dimensional limits. No oversized or overweight rejections.

Barcode Verification

Every GTIN barcode scanned and verified against your Walmart listing before shipment. Catches mismatches that would halt inbound processing.

Case Packing

Units packed into cases per WFS guidelines — correct quantities, proper dunnage, weight limits observed. Each case labeled with shipment-specific identifiers.

Quality Inspection

Every unit inspected for damage, missing seals, and cosmetic defects. Non-compliant items are flagged before they cost you chargebacks at the fulfillment center.

Shipment Coordination

We create inbound shipments in WFS Seller Center, schedule delivery appointments, and ship to Walmart fulfillment centers with full tracking.

Prep for Walmart AND Amazon from one partner

Most sellers are on multiple channels. Sending inventory to separate prep centers for each marketplace wastes time and money. Catalist handles WFS prep, FBA prep, and DTC fulfillment from a single facility.

Why multi-channel prep matters

  • Walmart marketplace is growing fast — sellers who establish WFS early face less competition
  • Diversifying across marketplaces reduces risk of single-channel dependency
  • One prep partner means one relationship, one invoice, and one point of accountability
  • DTC fulfillment covers Shopify, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce orders alongside marketplace prep

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Walmart WFS packaging and labeling requirements?
Walmart WFS requires specific item-level labeling with GTIN barcodes, case-level labels with shipment IDs, poly bagging for qualifying items, and packaging that meets dimensional and weight limits. Each shipment must pass WFS inbound compliance checks or items risk being rejected or disposed of at your cost.
How fast can you prep my inventory for WFS?
Most WFS prep orders are completed within 24 hours of receiving your inventory at our facility. Larger shipments or orders requiring kitting and bundling may take 24-48 hours. We coordinate shipment appointments with Walmart fulfillment centers to ensure smooth inbound processing.
How does WFS prep differ from Amazon FBA prep?
While both programs require compliant labeling and packaging, WFS has its own barcode format, packaging dimension limits, and inbound shipment requirements. WFS uses Walmart-specific item labels rather than FNSKU, has different case packing rules, and requires shipment coordination through the WFS Seller Center. We handle the nuances of both programs so you do not have to.
How much does WFS prep cost?
WFS prep pricing depends on the services required — labeling, poly bagging, case packing, inspection, and shipment coordination each have per-unit or per-shipment rates. We offer transparent, volume-based pricing with no hidden fees. Contact us for a custom quote based on your SKU count and monthly volume.
