亞馬遜注意！沃瑪和電商平台合作搶攻第三方商機Walmart Grows with Shopify

To expand its online marketplace, US retail giant Walmart recently decided to collaborate with Shopify, a Canadian e-commerce platform. With the collaboration, Walmart will increase its 3rd-party sellers.

Walmart believes that the collaboration will improve small- and medium-sized businesses, which can benefit from the increased traffic on Walmart.com. Also, Walmart will now have better competitiveness with its rival, Amazon, whose 3rd-party sellers make up nearly half of e-commerce sales.

Online sales have increase rapidly as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. Walmart’s e-commerce sales increased by 74% in the first quarter of 2020.

美國最大的零售商沃瑪為了搶攻電商大餅，宣佈與加拿大的電商平台Shopify合作，讓該平台的商品也能在沃瑪官網上架。沃瑪認為，這樣不僅能增加沃瑪的商品選項，中小型的商家也能從沃瑪的流量中受益。

其實，電商龍頭亞馬遜已經佔據了大多數的電商市場。沃瑪為了搶攻這個市場，可以說是無所不用其極。與Shopify合作後，沃瑪預計今年增加1200個第三方賣家，未來還會持續增加。

由於新冠肺炎疫情，許多人不敢出門，電商變得更加重要，業績也逆勢上漲。根據統計，沃瑪今年第一季的電商營業額，增加了74%呢！
