Becoming a Walmart Creator is a great way to monetize your influence, especially since they welcome creators of all sizes and niches. It’s particularly flexible because you can share links through DMs, emails, and social posts.

Here is my step-by-step guide I'm sharing with my followers to help you get started.

1. Check Eligibility

Before applying, ensure you meet these basic requirements:

Age: You must be at least 18 years old.

Location: You must reside in the United States.

Account: You need an active Walmart.com account (personal).

Employment: You cannot be a current Walmart employee.

2. Prepare Your Social Profiles

Walmart looks for authentic engagement. While there is no minimum follower count, you should have an active presence on at least one of these platforms:

Instagram
TikTok
YouTube
Facebook
A personal blog or website

3. Submit the Application

Go to the Walmart Creator Portal.

Fill Out the Form: You’ll need to provide your name, email, and social media handles.

Connect Accounts: You may be asked to link your social accounts (like TikTok or YouTube) directly to the portal to verify your influence.

Submit and Wait: The review process can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Keep an eye on your email for an "Acceptance" notification.

4. Set Up Your Storefront

Once approved, you can create a personalized shop:

Brand Your Page: Add a profile picture, a banner, and a short bio that tells your followers what you love (e.g., "Budget-friendly family finds").

Curate Collections: Group products into categories like "Kitchen Must-Haves" or "Minimalist Decor."

Use the Browser Extension: Download the Walmart Creator extension for Chrome. It allows you to create trackable affiliate links instantly while browsing products on Walmart.com.

5. Share and Earn

Post Content: Share your links in your bio, stories, or video descriptions.

Commissions: You earn a percentage of every sale made through your link. Rates vary by category (e.g., Beauty and Home Decor often have higher rates, sometimes up to 18%).

14-Day Window: Walmart has a 14-day "cookie window." This means if someone clicks your link and buys anything on Walmart.com within 14 days, you get the credit.

Pro-Tips for Your Followers

Disclose Early: Always use #WalmartPartner as the first hashtag in your posts to stay compliant with FTC guidelines.

Focus on Trends: Promote seasonal items (like outdoor gear in spring or school supplies in August) to maximize clicks.

Engage: Use polls or Q&As to ask your followers what they are shopping for so you can link exactly what they need.
