“Life feels more complicated than ever. Walmart+ is designed to make it easier – giving customers an option to not have to sacrifice on cost or convenience,” said Janey Whiteside, chief customer officer at Walmart. “We know shopping should fit customers’ needs, not the other way around. We have always been a champion for the right item at the right price, but now it’s more than that. We have the right shopping solutions at the right time, too.”
This year, Walmart launched an ad platform, and a partnership with Shopify. Since June, Shopify merchants are able to sell their products directly on Walmart.com.
