Registering a brand gives you elevated content ranking so that your content submissions stick. You can easily view and manage all your brands in one place, and the catalog shows which items you are a brand owner for.

As a brand owner, you can also create a Brand Shop on Walmart.com where customers may easily browse your products and learn more about your brand. Brand Shop is a free, virtual storefront designed to boost your brand awareness, strengthen brand loyalty for existing shoppers, and drive new shoppers to your brand.

FAQs

1. Is brand registration and ownership just for national brands? 

Currently, registration is limited to supplier-owned brands. Walmart private label brands, generic brands, and unbranded are not included at this time. 

2. If we have registered brands in the past, why don’t they show up in the system now? 

If you previously registered brands using Brand Portal, you may have seen "The number entered has already been registered with Walmart" when trying to register in Item 360/Supplier One. As of May 1, the issue that blocked you from registering has been fixed and you should no longer see this message.

3. If we have registered our brands within Item 360/Supplier One (1P), do we also need to do this for Seller Center (3P)? 

If you are both a 1P supplier and a 3P seller, you will need to register in Item 360/Supplier One and Seller Center. When you register, the system will attach your Supplier ID/Seller ID to the existing brand that you already registered.

4. We are the vendor of record, so we have multiple brands. Does that mean each brand needs to be registered? 

Yes, each brand that your company owns should be registered. 

5. We are a distributor. Does that mean each of our brands needs to be registered? 

Currently, you cannot register brands as a distributor.

6. What about licensed brands? How can we get those under our accounts as brand owners? 

Licensed brands cannot be registered at this time. Your company must own the trademark to successfully register a brand in Item 360/Supplier One. 

7. Can multiple users be linked to a registered brand (e.g., users within the same company)? 

Yes, if the user has access to the 6-digit Supplier ID linked to the brand, they will have brand owner benefits. Brands only need to be registered once through Item 360/Supplier One to be applied to all users within the company. 

8. Do you register a brand using the GTIN? 

No, you register with the trademark number. Once registered, the brand will be associated to your items through item setup or maintenance. To find the trademark number, follow the instructions above. 

9. Are WIPO or EUIPO trademarks accepted?

Walmart brand registration currently only accepts trademarks registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).​

10. How soon will my content ranking be elevated?​

Once your brand has been registered successfully, it will take up to 48 hours for your content ranking for that brand to be elevated.​

11. What if I don’t have access to the registered brand owner's email address?

The registered brand owner's email address is the email address(es) of the contact listed on the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) registration. If you do not know the trademark contact(s), you can continue without email verification. Please note that this method will increase the time it takes to register by 14 days.

12. What should I do if my content updates for an item belonging to my registered brand do not stick?

Please file a case ticket (see the instructions below).

13. What will happen to existing Brand Shops that we paid for? Can we have both a paid Brand Shop and a self-serve Brand Shop?

Yes, you can have both. The self-serve Brand Shop is a free, virtual storefront that is a great option for suppliers of any size. The paid Brand Shop can be used for custom campaigns or other custom functionality that might not be supported in the self-service Brand Shop.
