What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Walmart’s e-commerce growth shows that platform competition is shifting from simple price comparisons toward a combined focus on price, fulfillment speed and shopping convenience. Sellers that rely only on low prices while neglecting inventory readiness and delivery speed may lose conversion opportunities among comparable products.
