What is Walmart UPC Lookup Extension?
Walmart UPC lookup is just one of the many features located inside of the EcomCircles Chrome Extension. This extension was built for Walmart Marketplace Sellers to make product research easier and faster. Unfortunately, without such a tool as our UPC lookup, Walmart makes it difficult to obtain the UPC code even though they make it mandatory when listing an item to the Walmart Marketplace.
In addition to the product upc code lookup, this tool also provides several helpful shortcuts to Walmart product research for Walmart sellers. In this post, we’ll take a look at a few of the other features built into both the free version and the paid version of this tool.
The selling features of the Ecom Circles Extension are listed below. If you want to skip the features and just install the extension to start looking up UPCs, you can do that here
Showing Walmart UPC on Walmart Product Pages
The EC Extension displays Walmart UPC codes on the product page for nearly every product on Walmart.com automatically. You no longer have to hunt for it in the page code.
This means sellers can now quickly and easily research Walmart products in half the time to find product features, product category, and other information for a list of products.
The UPC codes were extracted from Walmart itself, so they are the EXACT UPC codes used by the Walmart listings, and you as a seller can easily copy/paste it to Seller Center while listing that product. Awesome, right?
See the Attributes along with UPC on Product Page
The Tool not only shows the UPC against the Walmart Item ID but other attributes such as the Product ID and a quick link to search Amazon for this item. The paid versions will also show all variation combinations and give users the ability to easily download this table if needed.
What we display on the Product page:
Product ID – This is the Walmart internal ID number.
Item ID – This is the Item ID used for the US Walmart marketplace (or MX Walmart marketplace or CA Walmart marketplace). Some may refer to this as the “Walmart SKU” but better terminology is “Item ID.”
UPC – The Universal Product Code (UPC) of the product from Walmart itself. Sometimes the UPC number is referred to as the barcode number since it is also the number that’s on the barcode of most products on the shelves at any retail store.
Please note that not all Walmart products have a UPC that Walmart makes available. This is a known issue with Walmart. We also link to Amazon so you can find the product there easily.Attributes – If a product has variations, we show the information for each of the Variation so you don’t have to check each one individually. We show the variation attributes in the table so you know which UPC and Walmart Item ID matches with which variation of the product
- Date range to filter by time period
- Walmart Price (if their offer exists)
- 3rd Party Price (Lowest)
- 3rd Party (WFS) (Lowest)Price History Graph – Similar to Keepa or CamelCamelCamel, this tool shows the historic price on Walmart. This feature includes
Why Get Walmart UPC Lookup Extension?
You have to have a Walmart UPC to list products on the Walmart marketplace which are already listed on the Walmart.com marketplace. Without a UPC code, sellers cannot list their products on Walmart unless they apply for a UPC exemption, and the exemption will likely not be granted if the item is already listed with a UPC code on Walmart. While Walmart used to show the UPC code for the product in the HTML markup of the site, they have removed it for many products which makes it harder to find.
Therefore, the key benefit of using the Ecom Circles extension is that it saves you time by showing the Walmart UPC code right on the item pages for nearly every product on Walmart.com Rather than manually searching for Walmart UPC codes, which can be time-consuming and require a lot of research, you can use the extension to quickly and easily obtain the correct code for their product. This can save you a lot of time and effort, and ensure that your listings are accurate and optimized for the Walmart marketplace.
Another benefit of using a Walmart UPC code Chrome extension is that it can help you to avoid listing errors or mistakes. If you list a product with the wrong UPC code, it can lead to confusion or miscommunication with buyers, which can result in negative reviews or lost sales. This happens all the time, especially with items that have multiple quantity (ex. case pack of 4) where sellers sometimes have used the same UPC for the multi-pack as they did for the single item.
By using the accurate UPC code extension, you can ensure that your listings are correct and that buyers can easily find and purchase your products.
