Walmart Advertising Performance in DataHawk covers Walmart Connect performance reports. Use this guide when you need to understand what the data is for, which analysis level to start with, and when to move into the technical table reference.

What Walmart Advertising Performance covers

Walmart Connect data helps you analyze how ads perform across campaigns, items, keywords, placements, platforms, brands, and categories.

When to use it

Use Walmart Advertising Performance data when you want to:

  • Review Walmart Connect performance outside the Walmart interface
  • Compare item, keyword, placement, and platform performance over time
  • Understand which products or ad groups are driving attributed sales
  • Investigate weak campaign performance before changing bids or budgets
  • Build BI dashboards that combine Walmart ads with other DataHawk data

1P and 3P availability

Some Walmart reports depend on whether you are a 1P supplier or 3P seller. Brand and category performance reports are 1P-only. Other core reports, such as item and ad-group performance, are the main starting points for most Walmart advertisers.

⚠️

Walmart finalizes advertising reports on a delay. DataHawk refreshes daily and performs a later reconciliation pass so finalized numbers can replace early values.

Start with item and ad-group performance

Use these views to understand which products and campaign structures are responsible for the biggest changes.

Add keyword and placement context

Review the search terms, manual keywords, and placements that explain where performance came from.

Check platform and item health

Use device/platform breakdowns and item health diagnostics when performance changes are hard to explain from spend and sales alone.

Technical reference

When you need table names, v2 keyword fields, deprecated table guidance, refresh timing, or 1P-only report details, use the technical reference.
