Bulk Scanner is a powerful feature that allows you to automate your product hunt, helping you quickly find items to dropship. You can scan the entire listing of one or more sellers and Zik Analytics will show you similar items from the dropshipping supplier of your choice.
You can save this list in a folder of your choice, ready to be optimized and listed on your store. This guide will teach you how you can draw the full potential of Bulk Scanner and use it in your day-to-day business. Watch the tutorial video we have prepared about this feature to learn more or check the full guide below.
Step 1: Adding seller to Bulk Scanner
The first step is to find one or more sellers you want to scan. You can either directly search for a seller from the search bar in the Competitor Research tab. You can analyze any seller by clicking on the Scan Seller icon next to a product.
Once you have found the seller, click on the Bulk Scanner button to add the seller to your Bulk Scanner Seller list:
Once added, you will notice the Bulk Scanner button changed to View Scanned Items.
Click on the View Scanned Items button to go directly to the Bulk Scanner Seller List section. Alternatively, you can also click on the Advanced Tools icon in the left side bar menu, then select the Bulk Scanner option.
Step 2: View and Save items
Each seller you Bulk Scan on ZIK Analytics will appear under the My Bulk Scanner Sellers List, where you can see the seller's name, country, date added, number of active listings, sold items, and feedback score
From here, it is possible to proceed in two ways. This will depend on whether you want to access the Bulk Scan data of a single seller or multiple sellers at once.
Saving Items from a Single Seller
To save data from a single seller, simply click on the name of the seller from the list, and you will be taken to the Bulk Scan data for that seller. Select the supplier: Amazon US, Amazon UK or Walmart
You will now see three tabs: Exact Matched Items, Similar Items and Not Found Items.
Exact Matched Items
In the Matched Items tab, you will see the items that ZIK Analytics was able to perfectly match from the selected supplier. For example, the seller sold items on eBay and ZIK Analytics found a perfect match on Amazon.
You can see the images, names and prices of the matched items from eBay and Amazon. It will also show you the profit you can make if you buy the item from Amazon and successfully sell it on eBay.
Note: The data provided by ZIK Analytics is for reference only, it is not guaranteed that you will make these exact profits.
You can now select individual items by checking the box in front of the product names, or select all the listings at once by clicking on the checkbox at the top.
Once you are done selecting the items, simply choose your desired folder from the drop-down menu and then click on the Save Products button.
Similar Items
The Similar Items tab works in the same way. Here you will find the items that weren’t 100% matching but still had similarities with the original product. This may include items with different colors, sizes or shapes.
Nevertheless, the process for saving the items is the same. Simply choose the items you want to move (or all the items). Then choose a folder from the drop-down menu and click on the Save Products button.
Not Found Items
ZIK Analytics also gives you a way to organize the items that weren’t found on the supplier site. You can find these items in the Not Found Items tab. You can manually save these items to your desired folders after setting their ASIN number.
Simply click on the product name, and you will be redirected to the eBay page for that product.
From here, you can copy the product title and search for it on Amazon. If you can locate the product (or something similar), you can copy its ASIN number. You will find the ASIN number under the Product Information section on the Amazon page of a product.
Now return to the ZIK and paste the ASIN number in the input box next to the product. Now choose your desired folder from the drop-down menu and click on the Save icon.
Repeat the process for as many items as you like.
Jump to Step 3 to learn how you can find the items in your desired folder.
Saving Items from Multiple Sellers
ZIK Analytics also gives you the option to save items from multiple sellers at once. Under the My Bulk Scanner Seller List, select up to five sellers by clicking on the radio button next to it.
Then click on the Add to Multi Scanner button:
The Multi Scanner Filter pop-up window will appear. Here you can set the minimum price, minimum profit, folder, source website, date range, and an option to select Prime only. Once you are done, click the Create Scan button to proceed.
You will be able to access the data once the status changes from Pending to Completed. To view the items, click on the name of the folder.
Step 3: View your Items inside My Products
In ZIK Analytics, you can store your items in organized folders. You can access these folders by clicking on the My Products icon from the left side bar menu.
Click on the folder where you saved your items.
Inside the folder, you have the option to export your items to a CSV file or upload them to the lister tool. Currently, we have integrations with AutoDS and Salefreaks.
