WFS vs Seller-Fulfilled Revenue Mix splits your Walmart revenue between Walmart Fulfillment Services and orders you ship yourself. WFS scales more easily and tends to lift conversion through faster delivery badges, but it takes more margin per order. The mix tells you where your revenue is leaning and whether that balance still suits your economics.

Calculation
The value is derived by attributing each Walmart Marketplace order’s revenue in the window to either Walmart Fulfillment Services or seller-fulfilled, then expressing the two totals as a split. Revenue is summed in the store currency and aligned to the merchant reporting time zone. See the At a glance summary for the window and unit, and the worked example below for how the split reads in practice.Worked example
A representative reading of WFS vs Seller-Fulfilled Revenue Mix for a typical merchant on Walmart Marketplace. On 12 Mar 26 a seller sees a trailing 30-day mix of roughly 64% WFS and 36% seller-fulfilled, up from a near-even split a quarter earlier. The shift came from moving bestsellers into WFS for the faster delivery badge, which lifted conversion but also raised fulfilment fees on those lines. The action is to confirm the extra volume still clears margin after WFS fees, and keep slower or bulkier items seller-fulfilled where self-shipping is cheaper.

Reconciling against Walmart Seller Center
Where to look in Walmart Seller Center: Open the Order Management and WFS reporting areas, where orders are tagged by fulfilment type, and cross-check the revenue totals for each against the period you are viewing. Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ:| Reason | Direction | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Period boundary. Vortex IQ uses 30D rolling by default; Seller Center may use calendar periods. | Variable | Match the period range. |
| Time zone. Seller Center uses the account time zone; Vortex IQ aligns to the merchant reporting time zone. | Marginal | Confirm time zone match. |
| Filter scope. Profile-level filters (fulfilment type, test orders) may narrow the Vortex IQ view. | Variable | Match filter settings. |
