It will include practical sessions led by Walmart executives and Payoneer, a cross-border payments company.

Participants will discover how to benefit from simpler onboarding, efficient fulfillment, targeted marketing, and integrated financial services.

They will be given assistance in swiftly scaling and growing in the United States and Canada.

The zeal to entice Canadian firms builds on Walmart's decades of involvement in Canadian retailing and e-commerce.

It comes at a time when local firms, particularly small and medium-sized businesses, are trying to get the benefits of the Canada-United States-Mexico free trade deal (CUSMA).

Darren Carithers, the senior vice president of Marketplace Development for Walmart International said the firm is focused on expanding its US and Canada marketplaces.

"By working together, we can serve more customers and help everyone save money and live a better life."

Walmart Fulfillment Services is one of the world-class tools designed to help sellers streamline cross-border operations and develop their stateside business.

It offers Canadian sellers to use the retailer's massive market-leading US supply chain expertise and infrastructure to deliver across the contiguous US within one to two days.
