Unauthorized sellers, counterfeiters, and listing hijackers erode your margins and damage your brand reputation. We manage your Walmart Brand Portal, monitor for infringements, and take enforcement action to protect your intellectual property.
Full Brand Portal management — monitoring, enforcement, and prevention.
Who This Is For
You own trademarks and are experiencing unauthorized sellers undercutting your MAP pricing or selling counterfeit products on your Walmart listings.
Daily monitoring, enforcement, and MAP tracking
Your private label products are being copied or counterfeited on Walmart. Need proactive monitoring and takedown procedures.
Counterfeit complaints can suspend your listings.
Unauthorized resellers sourcing through gray market channels and damaging your relationship with retail buyers.
The Challenge
Unlike Amazon's Brand Registry, Walmart's Brand Portal is newer and less understood by sellers. This creates gaps that unauthorized sellers exploit.
Unauthorized sellers attach to your product listings and compete for the Buy Box with lower prices
Fake versions of your products sold under your brand listing, generating safety complaints and negative reviews
Resellers undercutting your Minimum Advertised Price, eroding margins for all authorized sellers
Third-party sellers modifying your product titles, images, and descriptions on shared listings
Products sourced through unauthorized channels (liquidation, overseas) sold as new on your listings
Unauthorized sellers typically undercut MAP by 15-30%, forcing authorized retailers to match or lose the Buy Box.
When counterfeit or gray market products fail, customers blame your brand — not the unauthorized seller.
Other sellers on your listings winning the Buy Box means your ad spend drives sales to competitors.
High volumes of customer complaints about product authenticity can trigger Walmart's Trust & Safety review of your entire account.
Don't let these challenges hold your business back. Our expert team has solved these problems for dozens of brands.
How It Works
Walmart's Brand Portal is less automated than Amazon's Brand Registry, but it's your primary tool for enforcement. Here's exactly how it works and what we do with it.
Walmart requires proof of registered trademarks (USPTO, WIPO, or Canada IP Office). You must provide registration documents for all SKUs you want to protect.
Once verified, you enroll all UPCs/SKUs under your trademark into Brand Portal. This creates a protected catalog that only you and authorized resellers can list against.
Unlike Amazon's automated brand controls, Walmart requires manual reporting. When an unauthorized seller appears, you or we file a violation claim — Walmart doesn't block them first.
Brand Portal grants you the right to modify/remove third-party content on your listings (titles, descriptions, images). This prevents hijackers from diluting your brand messaging.
We scan your entire product catalog daily for unauthorized sellers. We identify seller name, seller ID, price point, fulfillment method, and shipping speed.
Every listing is compared against your published Minimum Advertised Price. Undercutting vendors are flagged, tracked, and documented for pattern analysis.
When an unauthorized seller is identified, we file an IP violation claim through Brand Portal within 24 hours. The claim includes your trademark documentation and the seller's violation evidence.
Walmart investigates within 48–72 hours. Seller is notified, given a chance to respond. If claim is upheld, their listings are delisted or suspended. We track outcomes.
Some sellers return under new accounts. We maintain a database of violator patterns (payment methods, shipping addresses, seller names) to catch repeat offenders faster.
Counterfeit vs. Gray Market
Fake goods manufactured to impersonate your brand. No legitimate supply chain.
Genuine products sourced outside authorized channels (liquidation, overseas distributors, shelf pulls). Legally real, but not authorized for Walmart resale.
Unauthorized sellers attach to your listings and win the Buy Box through lower pricing or seller metrics. All your ad spend benefits them instead.

Many brand owners don't know Walmart has a Brand Portal. Without registration, you have no enforcement tools and no listing control.
Every day an unauthorized seller is on your listing, they're taking your Buy Box, spending your ad-driven traffic, and potentially damaging your brand with inferior products.
Gray market products are genuine but sourced outside authorized channels. They often lack warranties and proper storage, leading to quality complaints attributed to your brand.
Reactive enforcement catches problems after damage is done. Automated daily monitoring catches unauthorized sellers within 24 hours of listing.
