What are Walmart Sponsored Products Ads?
The main method of advertising on Walmart.com is through Cost-Per-Click (CPC) ads known as Sponsored Products. This ad type means you choose how much you are willing to bid on a product or keyword and are charged that amount only when a shopper clicks on your ad.
These ads appear on organic search results, product detail pages, and category pages on Walmart.com. Sponsored Products are selected based on relevancy and bids. The most relevant product with the highest bid wins the ad placement.
