Walmart Canada seller fees (2026)
The referral fee Walmart charges in Canada is a flat percentage per contract category, not the tiered US schedule most fee tables show — and WFS Canada is billed in Canadian dollars on its own weight table. This works out what a Walmart.ca order actually leaves you.
Walmart.ca, fees in CAD. Referral percentages are Walmart's own Canada table, from the Walmart Marketplace Canada Retailer Agreement (Walmart last updated it 30 Oct 2024; checked 6 Nov 2026). Walmart's Canadian page publishes the percentages but not the fee base, so this calculator charges the referral fee on the total sales price including any shipping you charge — the conservative reading, and the one Walmart's US page states. Set shipping to 0 to see the other reading. WFS fees are Walmart's Canada table (last updated 29 Oct 2026): C$5.50 under 1 lb, C$6.50 to 3.9 lb, C$8.50 to 6.9 lb, C$10.10 to 11 lb, then C$0.40 a pound.
What it works out to
The page's own default order: a C$39.99 item, no shipping charged, 15% flat referral, fulfilled by WFS at 4.00 lb, C$12.00 landed cost and C$1.50 of ads per unit.
Referral C$6.00, WFS C$8.50, cost and ads C$13.50 — you keep C$11.99, a 30.0% margin. As a new seller using WFS the same order keeps C$17.12, a 42.8% margin, until 31 Jan 2027. Every figure printed here is produced by the calculator itself.
Canada is flat; the US schedule is tiered
This is the part that trips sellers up, because most published fee tables are the US one. Walmart's US schedule changes rate part-way up the price on several categories; Walmart's Canadian table has no tiers at all. On identical items:
| Item | Walmart.ca | Walmart.com (US schedule) | Canada costs more |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apparel & Accessories, C$35.98 | C$5.40 — 15% flat | ≈ C$3.65 — 5/10/15% tiers, 10.1% effective | C$1.75 |
| Jewellery, C$305.99 | C$61.20 — 20% flat | ≈ C$52.80 — 20% to $250 then 5%, 17.3% effective | C$8.40 |
| Watches, C$1,999.99 | C$300.00 — 15% flat | ≈ C$240.00 — 15% to $1,500 then 3%, 12.0% effective | C$60.00 |
The US figures are computed on our US referral fee calculator, which carries Walmart's US tiered schedule. The Canadian figures are the flat percentages in the table below. Currency is shown at par because the point is the rate, not the exchange; a US order is billed in US dollars.
Walmart Canada referral fees, every contract category
Source: Walmart Marketplace Learn, Canada — “Commission or referral fees for contract categories”. Walmart's own note: these are the contract categories from the Walmart Marketplace Canada Retailer Agreement and they do not match your item-setup categories one for one, so the category Walmart assigns an item is what decides the rate. Check it on your Statements page and open a case with the Item ID if it looks wrong.

| Apparel & Accessories | 15% |
| Automotive & Powersports | 12% |

WFS Canada: fulfilment and storage, in CAD
Source: Walmart Marketplace Learn, Canada, “WFS Fees”, last updated 29 Oct 2026, and Walmart.ca's WFS pricing page. Shipping weight is the greater of unit weight and volumetric weight, where volumetric weight is length × width × height in inches ÷ 300; add 0.25 lb for packaging and round up to the next pound. Units under 1 lb and over 150 lb are charged on unit weight.
| Shipping weight | Fulfilment fee per unit |
|---|---|
| Under 1 lb | C$5.50 |
| 1 – 3.9 lb | C$6.50 |
| 4 – 6.9 lb | C$8.50 |
| 7 – 11 lb | C$10.10 |
| Each additional lb above 11 lb | + C$0.40 |
| 21 lb | C$18.00 |
| Each additional lb above 21 lb | + C$0.40 |
| 31 lb | C$24.00 |
| Each additional lb above 31 lb | + C$0.20 |
| 51 lb | C$28.00 |
| Each additional lb from 71 to 150 lb | + C$0.40 |
| 151 lb | C$150.00 (oversize fees do not apply) |
| 351 lb | C$350.00 |
- Oversize: C$4.00 when the longest side is over 48″, or the median side over 30″, or longest side plus girth over 105″; C$35.00 when the longest side is over 87″ or longest side plus girth over 118″. Applies to units up to 150 lb.
- Storage: C$0.80 per cubic foot per month; in peak months (usually October to December) that rate applies for the first 30 days and C$1.70 per cubic foot per month is added beyond 30 days; stock held past 12 months is C$7.00 per cubic foot per month.
- Fuel surcharge: up to 7% of the fulfilment fee may be added when the gas price rises above $2.00 a litre.
- Gap in Walmart's own table: between 11 lb and 21 lb Walmart publishes “each additional lb above 11 lb: + C$0.40” and then a flat C$18.00 at 21 lb. Those do not reconcile — C$10.10 plus ten pounds at C$0.40 is C$14.10, not C$18.00. This calculator extends the per-pound rule across 12–20 lb, which is the lower reading; if your statements show C$18.00 at 21 lb exactly, budget the higher figure for that band. There is no published Canadian row for 12–20 lb, and we will not invent one.
New-seller discounts, to 31 January 2027
Sellers who go live on Walmart Marketplace Canada on or after 1 February 2026 get, automatically: 25% off base referral fees on seller-fulfilled items, 50% off on WFS-fulfilled items, 25% off WFS fulfilment and 50% off WFS storage, with the referral rebate calculated quarterly in arrears. On the page's default order the WFS discount alone takes the referral from C$6.00 to C$3.00 and the C$8.50 fulfilment fee to about C$6.38. The date is in Walmart's New-Seller Savings terms and it ends 31 January 2027 — after that the rates above are the rates you pay.
A fee table tells you the rate. It does not tell you which of your listings is losing money once cost, ads, storage and returns are in — that is the number worth having. Or run one export free, no signup.
Or have a person read your last month of marketplace orders and write up what to change in 24 hours: the US$49 audit.
LAUNCH40 takes 40% off while the first 25 codes last.
Walmart, Etsy, Amazon and TikTok change their fee tables without announcing it, and the Canadian tax deadlines move. I check and send one short email when something real changes. No sequence, and nothing to buy every Tuesday.
