Frequently Asked Questions
How difficult is Target Plus approval compared to other marketplaces?
Target Plus is significantly more selective than Amazon or Walmart. They accept less than 30% of applicants. Lab 916's approval rate is over 85% because we know exactly what Target looks for and help you meet their standards before applying.
Can I use the same product listings from Amazon?
No. Target Plus requires completely different content standards. Product titles must be shorter and cleaner, descriptions need lifestyle focus, and images must meet Target's premium aesthetic. We handle the complete content transformation.
What categories does Target Plus accept?
Home, outdoor/sporting goods, toys, baby, beauty, and electronics perform best. Fashion is highly restricted. Some categories like supplements or certain electronics subcategories aren't accepted at all. We'll evaluate your specific products during assessment.
How long before I see meaningful revenue?
Most clients see first sales within 2 weeks of launch. Building to 10-15% of your Amazon revenue typically takes 3-4 months. The ramp is slower than Walmart but more profitable per sale due to higher AOV and lower returns.
What are the fulfillment options for Target Plus?
You can use Target's SFS (Ship from Store), approved 3PL partners, or self-fulfillment with strict performance requirements. Most clients use a 3PL for better control and margins. Amazon MCF technically works but isn't recommended due to packaging.
How much does Target Plus charge in fees?
Commission rates range from 5-15% depending on category (generally lower than Amazon). No monthly fees. The real advantage is no advertising needed for most products—organic placement actually works on Target Plus.
Will Target Plus sales cannibalize my other channels?
No. Target attracts a unique demographic that shops Target exclusively for certain categories. Less than 10% customer overlap with Amazon based on our client data. It's truly incremental revenue.
What happens if I don't maintain Target's performance standards?
Target Plus removes underperforming sellers quarterly. Metrics include on-time delivery (95%+), cancellation rate (<2%), return rate (varies by category), and customer satisfaction. We monitor these daily and alert you before issues arise.
