iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — Online retailers are preparing for the holiday shopping season even earlier this year.

Walmart, meanwhile, is testing a program to match prices offered by online retailers such as Amazon, according the Wall Street Journal.

The move would keep Walmart competitive this holiday season, but could also affect its fourth-quarter earnings.
