Unlock the power of precise product research with ZIK Analytics' manual scanning feature, enabling you to effortlessly discover potential items from drop shippers. This guide focuses on leveraging ZIK Analytics to effectively scan and find prospective items at Walmart. Watch our video tutorial for a visual demonstration of this feature!

Step 1: Set the Source Website to Walmart.com

To get started, log into your ZIK Analytics account and configure your source website to Walmart.com for optimal results tailored to your requirements. Click on the Quick Settings icon from the left sidebar menu.

The Quick Settings window will appear. In the Marketplace section, select eBay.com. For this guide, since we will be using Walmart as our supplier, select the United States for the Shipping Location. Click on the Apply Changes button to save your settings.

Step 2: Search for Products

Since we are using Walmart as our supplier, to be more efficient with our product search, we have to look for Walmart brands. Conduct a quick Google search for "list of Walmart brands" to find comprehensive lists of these brands.

Now, let's proceed with researching products. As an example, we will use the brand Mainstays. Click on the Product Research icon from the left sidebar menu.

Enter the name of the Walmart brand you are interested in, such as Mainstays, in the search box.

Optionally, apply Price filters to obtain more precise results. Click on the Search button to initiate the search.

Step 3: Scanning a Seller

ZIK Analytics will present you with a breakdown of the category/brand, including Sales Earnings, Sold Items, and Sell Through. These analytics provide valuable insights into the potential of your products.

You can also filter the results to show dropshippers only. In the +Filters drop-down menu, check the box beside the Dropshipper only option.

It is advisable to prioritize sellers displaying the Walmart logo with a green checkmark, indicating a 100% match of the product from the supplier (Walmart).

Now let's scan the supplier by clicking the Scan Seller icon next to the seller’s name. This will reveal a list of items sourced by the dropshipper from Walmart.

Here is another example of a successful listing by a seller utilizing Walmart as a supplier.

Step 4: Use the Item Finder Feature

The Item Finder feature is available on each product listing. It helps you discover matches for the item on your chosen source website, in this case, Walmart.

If you encounter a red box icon, it signifies that ZIK Analytics could not find a perfect match for the product. Conversely, a Walmart box with a green checkmark indicates a matching item was found at Walmart. Click on the Item Finder icon for a product of your choice.

You will see the original eBay item at the top, followed by matched products under the Product on Walmart section. The prices and estimated profits for these items are also displayed.

If you come across a product with a red box, it means ZIK Analytics couldn't find the item automatically. However, you can still click on it to perform a manual search.

Then click on the Search title on Walmart icon above the listing

You will be redirected to Walmart’s search results page. Choose the item that matches the original product.

Once on the item page, copy the product ID from the URL in your browser.

Return to ZIK Analytics and click on the Add Item ID Manually button. Paste the copied ID and click Reload button.

The item will now appear under the Product on Walmart heading.

Click on the Select Folder button to choose a folder for saving the product. Then, click on the Save icon.

By harnessing ZIK Analytics' manual scanning feature, you can efficiently explore potential products from Walmart and enhance your product research process. This guide has equipped you with the necessary steps to set up Walmart as your source website, conduct targeted searches, scan sellers, and utilize the Item Finder feature effectively. Embrace this valuable tool and maximize your productivity when conducting manual scans with ZIK Analytics
