Scan a barcode in any store and see what it makes on Walmart Marketplace: fees, profit, ROI, sales, sellers and the buy box, before it goes in your cart.
Point your phone at a UPC in the store. Margenos finds the Walmart listing, even when several listings share one barcode, and lets you pick the right one.
Referral fees by category, WFS fulfillment by weight, storage, your cost and prep: profit, ROI and the most you should pay.
Sales estimates, every competing seller with stock, and who usually wins the buy box.
Sourcing in a store means deciding in seconds. Margenos turns a barcode into a buy or pass: what it sells for on Walmart.com, what Walmart takes, what you keep, and how fast it moves. No barcode? On Elite, photograph the product instead.
Most reseller scanner apps were built for Amazon. They show Amazon fees and Amazon sales rank, which don't apply to Walmart Marketplace. Walmart has its own referral fees by category, its own WFS fulfillment fees, no public sales rank, and a different Buy Box. A Walmart scanner app needs to use Walmart's numbers, or the profit it shows is wrong.
Margenos is built only for Walmart. When you scan a barcode, it finds the matching Walmart.com listing (and lets you choose when several listings share one UPC), applies the right referral fee for the category and the WFS fee for the weight, and shows what you actually keep.
| Number | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Walmart price and Buy Box price | What the item really sells for right now |
| Referral + WFS fees | What Walmart takes before you get paid |
| Profit and ROI | Whether the deal is worth your money |
| Max buy cost | The most you can pay and still hit your target ROI |
| Estimated monthly sales | How fast your inventory will turn over |
| Competing sellers and stock | How crowded the listing is |

If you just want to check a price, the barcode scanner at Walmart is built into the regular Walmart app. Walmart says the scanner icon is in the app's search bar and on the Services tab. Tap it, point your camera at the barcode, and the app shows the item's price along with offers. You don't need a separate Walmart scan app for that, and the Walmart app is available for Android and iPhone.
Two other app features often get mixed up with the price scanner. Scan & Go lets you scan items as you shop and pay on your phone; Walmart launched it as a Walmart+ member benefit. Store mode shows in-store savings and aisle locations for items on your list. Both are built for buying, not for reselling.
The Walmart app answers one question: what does Walmart charge for this item? If you plan to resell on Walmart Marketplace, you need a different set of answers: what Walmart takes in fees, what you keep, how fast it sells and who you would be competing with. That is the gap a Walmart scanner app for resellers fills.
| What you want to know | Walmart app scanner | Margenos |

| Estimated monthly sales | No | Yes, labeled with its source, or "not enough data" |
| Competing sellers and their stock | No | Yes, every seller, plus total stock |
| Who wins the Buy Box | No | Yes, with Buy Box history |
For shoppers, yes: the Walmart app is free to download and its price scanner is part of it. Reseller scanner apps are a different kind of tool, and most of them were built for Amazon, so they show Amazon fees and Amazon sales rank. Margenos is built only for Walmart Marketplace and starts with a 14-day free trial. Comparing options? See our roundup of the best reseller apps.
Here is how resellers use Margenos as a Walmart price scanner app for Android in any store, whether it's Walmart clearance, Target or a drugstore:
No barcode on the item? The top plan adds photo search, and CartIQ to see the profit on a whole cart at once. The iPhone app isn't out yet; on an iPhone or a computer you can use the Chrome extension on any Walmart.com listing, or try the math in the Walmart profit calculator. New to sourcing in stores? Start with what retail arbitrage is.
Sources: Walmart, Check a price, Walmart app and Walmart+ launch (Scan & Go). Walmart changes its app and rules; confirm in the app or in Seller Center. Margenos is not affiliated with Walmart.
Yes. The Margenos app is live on Google Play for Android (iPhone coming soon): scan a product's barcode to see its Walmart listing, fees, profit, ROI, sales estimate, competing sellers and buy box.
On the Elite plan you can photograph a product to search for it. On every plan you can also search by name or open a Walmart listing.
Yes. One Margenos account works on your phone and in Chrome, and your scans are one allowance shared between them.
No. Margenos works for anyone researching products to sell on Walmart Marketplace.
Not accurately. Amazon scanner apps use Amazon's fees and sales rank. Walmart has different referral fees, WFS fees and no public sales rank, so a Walmart-specific scanner like Margenos gives you the real profit.
Yes. Scan a product's UPC in any store and Margenos finds the matching Walmart.com listing, so you can check clearance at Walmart, Target, Walgreens and other retailers.
Yes. Every Margenos plan starts with a 14-day free trial of the Chrome extension, and includes the Android app.
Yes. The Walmart app has a built-in barcode scanner. Walmart says the scanner icon is in the search bar and on the Services tab. Scan an item's barcode and the app shows its price and offers.
Open the Walmart app, sign in, tap the scanner icon in the search bar (or on the Services tab), and point your camera at the barcode. The price and offers appear on screen.
The price scanner checks what an item costs. Scan and Go lets you scan items as you shop and pay on your phone, and Walmart offers it as a Walmart+ member benefit. Neither shows reseller numbers like fees or profit.
Yes. Shoppers can use the Walmart app on Android. For reselling, the Margenos app on Google Play scans a barcode and shows the Walmart listing's fees, profit, ROI, sales estimate, competing sellers and Buy Box.
It tells you Walmart's price, but not Walmart's seller fees, your profit, how fast the item sells or how many sellers you would compete with. A reseller scanner like Margenos adds those numbers.
