How do I read a Walmart scan?

Updated Sep 26, 20261 min read

Choose Walmart in the Scanner and enter a keyword, a walmart.com link, an item ID or a UPC.

The Walmart card

  • Eligible tells you whether you can sell it, read from your own Walmart Seller Center (how that works).
  • Alerts, Grade and Est. Sales.
  • Max Cost, Cost Price and Sale Price, then Profit, Profit %, ROI and Breakeven.
  • A WFS / Seller switch, for Walmart Fulfillment Services or shipping it yourself.

Est. Sales and the Grade

Est. Sales is an estimate of how many units the product sells a month on Walmart. The Grade turns it into a letter, from A++ for the fastest sellers down to F.

Few sellers on the listing move the grade up, and many move it down. The grade is always F when Walmart sells the product itself.

The other panels

  • Your Criteria shows Meets or Below for each of your buying criteria.
  • Your inventory shows your own stock, once your Walmart store is connected.
  • Alerts covers selling eligibility, Walmart selling it, competition, stock, purchase limits and more.
  • Sellers lists the sellers on the listing, with their stock.
  • Sell on Amazon works out the flip from Walmart to Amazon, with Amazon's Max Cost, the flip profit and the ROI.
  • Charts shows the price history, which builds up from scans over time.
  • Buy Box Analysis, Variations, Specifications and Description.
