ShipStation launched Ship with Walmart on October 6, 2026, giving Walmart Marketplace sellers Walmart-negotiated label rates and up to $100 of lost-item protection inside ShipStation, according to ShipStation's announcement. It covers US domestic shipments only, PYMNTS reports, and it sits alongside the carriers a seller already uses.

What Ship with Walmart covers

Ship with Walmart in ShipStation, from the October 6, 2026 release.
Launched	October 6, 2026
Who can use it	Walmart Marketplace sellers on ShipStation
Rates	Walmart-negotiated rates from domestic carriers
Lost-item protection	Up to $100 on eligible orders shipped on time
Feedback	Negative feedback review for approved lost-item claims
Scope	US domestic shipments only
Setup	Activated in ShipStation, alongside existing carriers

The protection covers items lost in transit and after delivery, per the Business Wire release. ShipStation did not publish the rates themselves.

Why it matters if you also sell on Amazon

PYMNTS notes that ShipStation's dashboard already pulls in orders from Amazon, TikTok Shop, Shopify and eBay. Walmart orders now get their own rate card and protections inside the same queue. For sellers who ship their own orders on both marketplaces, label cost per order can now differ by channel even when the parcel is the same.

Walmart rates apply to Walmart orders. Amazon merchant-fulfilled orders keep their own rules, including the carrier rate changes covered in the July USPS Ground Advantage update and the USPS noncompliance fee.

What a lower label cost is worth

The figures below are made up to show the arithmetic. They are not Walmart rates.

Illustration only. Compare your own labels by weight and zone.
Walmart orders per month	400
Current label cost per order	$9.00
Ship with Walmart label cost per order	$8.00
Saving per order	$1.00
Saving per month (400 x $1.00)	$400.00

A $1.00 saving on 400 orders is $400 a month. Before switching, check the same weight and zone mix on both rate cards, and check that delivery promises still meet Walmart's on-time rules, since the protection only applies to orders shipped on time.

Keeping Amazon shipping costs visible

On the Amazon side, Nova lets you add merchant-fulfilled shipping costs so they sit in the P&L per SKU next to Amazon fees. See the Amazon P&L feature.
