Product Identifiers (more commonly known as product IDs) are universally accepted codes that are unique to every item sold. As a Marketplace seller, you’re required to comply with the product ID policy after you begin selling to build customer trust and provide a consistent experience for customers. Keep reading to learn about this policy. 
What is the policy?
Walmart requires that all items sold on Walmart Marketplace have product IDs. Walmart uses product IDs to help identify which item you're selling and if the same item is sold elsewhere. Product IDs also help establish variant groups across different sellers.  Â
Â
Additional guidelines
Each product must have its own unique product ID for setup, even if multiple identifiers like GTIN and UPCs exist. The reuse of product IDs for separate items is strictly prohibited.
This table indicates the four types of products IDs accepted by Walmart. If you have a different type of product ID, you must convert it to one of these types. Check with the organization that manages your product ID to learn how to convert it to an acceptable type. Â
Accepted Type | Name | Purpose | Acceptable Digits |
---|---|---|---|
GTIN | Global Trade Item Number | General purpose, used worldwide | 14 digits |
UPC | Universal Product Code | General purpose, used primarily in North America | 12 digits |
ISBN | International Standard Book Number | For use only with books and publications | 10 or 13 digits |
EAN | European Article Number | Used primarily outside of North America | 13 digits |
Model numbers or SKU numbers aren't considered valid product IDs.
