How do I scan a product?

Updated Sep 26, 20261 min read

Run a scan

  1. Open the Scanner tab.
  2. Choose Amazon, Walmart or eBay. For Amazon, choose US or CA as well.
  3. Type what you're looking for in the search box and press Analyze.

What you can type

MarketplaceWhat the box accepts
AmazonAn ASIN (10 characters), a UPC or EAN barcode number, or a brand or keywords.
WalmartA walmart.com product link, a Walmart item ID, a UPC, or a brand or keywords.
eBayKeywords or a UPC.

An ASIN or a barcode number takes you straight to that product's analysis. Words give you a list of matching products. Load more adds more to the list, and clicking a product opens its analysis next to it.

The Amazon box doesn't accept Amazon links. Copy the ASIN instead (the 10 characters after /dp/ in the link), or open the page with the Chrome extension installed and it analyzes it for you (the extension on Amazon).

The results list

Each product shows its BSR (called Rank on Walmart), Est. Sales, Max Cost and Offers. With your Amazon store connected, you also see whether you can sell it, and the live Top Offers.

How many scans you get

Paid plans have no monthly scan limit, and the pill next to the search box reads Unlimited scans. A daily limit against abuse is set far above normal use (what the scan messages mean). Which marketplaces you can scan depends on your plan (marketplaces by plan).
