Walmart Competitive Pricing


Overview

Walmart Marketplace’s Commission Adjustment Program (CAP) ensures competitive pricing for your products by repricing your listings. If a customer pays a lower price than what you submitted, you will receive payment based on your original price, with Walmart subsidizing the difference:

  1. You set the price at $20 with $5 shipping.
  2. The customer sees and pays $15 with $5 shipping.
  3. You receive $20 with $5 shipping.

If you opt into the program, you can still disable repricing for some items. Only specific items are eligible, and only for a limited time.
