If you're registering items in WERCSmart for the following Retailers, you will need to set up your Supplier ID in your WERCSmart account:


  • Walmart, Sam's Club

  • Sears, K-Mart

Please use the following steps to add a Supplier ID to your account: 


The Supplier ID number must be provided to you by the retailer. If you do not have a Supplier ID, you will need to contact your retailer to have them provide you with one. 

  • On your home page, select the "Retail Partners" icon (Looks like a handshake). 

  • Select the logo of the retailer that you would like to add your Supplier ID to. 

  • Once you are on the page for your desired retailer, please select the option in blue to the right of the title "Your Supplier IDs" that reads "+ ADD NEW SUPPLIER ID".

  • You will now see a pop-up where you can enter in your "Supplier ID" as well as select a Company or Brand Name associated to the Supplier ID.

    • The Company or Brand Name should be the name that is known by your retailer.

    • You may also check the "Is Default" checkbox if you would like to make this Supplier ID be the default ID for your account. 

  • Select the "Save" option to add this Supplier ID to your account. 


You may also add a new Supplier ID when you are registering your product by taking the following steps:

  • On your home page, please select the three dots below actions to the right of the product that you would like to use to add your new Supplier ID. 

  • Select "Edit", "Update Data", or "Update Required" from the dropdown list depending on your product's submission status. 

  • Within your product registration, click on the "Recipient and UPC Details" page title. 

  • Select the "Retailer" section. 

  • Click on the green "Add Retailers" button just under the "Retailer" title. 

  • Select a retailer from the list provided and click on the green "Continue" button. 

  • Press the green "Add New Supplier" button under the "Select Vendor" title and the "Choose" box. 

  • You will now see a pop-up that is titled "Add New Supplier", type in your 6 digit Supplier ID number. 

  • Select your company or brand name (If applicable) within the pop-up. 

  • Check the "Is Default" checkbox (If applicable). 

  • Select the "Save" button to close the pop-up. 

  • Select the "Choose" box under the "Select Vendor" title and choose your correct vendor. 

  • You may now select the green "Save" button and continue with the remainder of the registration.

Special Notes: 

  • It is possible to have more than one Supplier ID for a retailer. Some Supplier IDs may become inactive over time so please ensure you have the most up to date Supplier ID(s) on your account.

    • You can edit your Supplier ID's by selecting the three dots to the right of each Supplier ID within your retailer's page (Replace, Set as Default, Deactivate, Delete) .

  • Walmart's Supplier ID is six (6) digits. You may be issued a 9-digit identifier. If this is the case, please provide the first six digits of the 9-digit identifier when adding the Supplier ID in WERCSmart.

  • Sears' Supplier ID is your DUNS number and can be 11 digits long. If necessary, add zeros to the beginning of your DUNS number to make the length 11 digits.
