## Key Decisions & Details

### GMV (Gross Merchandise Value)
- Walmart asks for a yearly GMV range to validate that the applicant is a legitimate business — the exact figure is not critical.
- Sherry (Lucy) Doudlah deferred to Karly to select an appropriate placeholder range based on known Amazon and website sales data.
- A range in the low thousands (annually) was discussed as a reasonable starting point.

### Entity Type
- Doudlah Farms Organics (DFO) is structured as an **S-Corp** (LLC taxed as S-Corp).
- Mark Doudlah confirmed this during the call; Sherry noted the CPA should be the authoritative source if further confirmation is needed.
- The EIN on file with Asymmetric was used; Sherry explicitly cautioned against using Mark's personal SSN/EIN.

### Phone Verification
- Walmart sent a verification code via automated phone call to Sherry's business number (ending in 8095).
- Sherry read the code live on the call; Karly submitted it immediately.
- Walmart indicated the verification review would take a couple of days.

## Next Steps

- [ ] **Karly:** Complete remaining business information fields in the Walmart Marketplace application portal.
- [ ] **Karly:** Notify Lucy & Mark if any additional information is required to finalize the application.
- [ ] **Karly:** Confirm approval and begin product listing setup once the account is active.

## Context & Background

Doudlah Farms is expanding its e-commerce presence beyond its WooCommerce site and Amazon storefront. Walmart Marketplace represents an additional direct-to-consumer channel. This setup is being handled entirely by the Asymmetric team on behalf of the client, with Sherry and Mark available to provide business credentials and verification as needed.
