DS Amazon Quick View is a free Chrome extension that overlays product-research data directly on Amazon search results: Best Sellers Rank, seller counts, and whether Amazon itself is on the listing, with a hover popup for full item details. The Chrome Web Store files it under "productivity extension for Amazon" and shows 500,000+ users with a 4.0-star average across roughly a thousand ratings. The free version works only on amazon.com; a $25 Extended version covers the other marketplaces and adds price history.
The extension exists to let a researcher scan a results page without opening every listing. If you sell 1P, the page being scanned is often yours: the data box runs over your catalog whenever someone running it searches your category. So this page covers the tool itself first, then reads it from the vendor side: what anyone with the extension can see about your ASINs, what it's worth as a free shelf check on your own catalog, and where it stops.
Once installed, the extension adds a data box beneath each listing on an amazon.com search results page. The box shows the item's Best Sellers Rank, the number of FBA sellers on the listing, and a sold-by-Amazon indicator for whether Amazon itself sells the item. The standard version also surfaces each item's ASIN, so you can pull identifiers straight off the results page without clicking into each product.
Hovering over a listing's image opens a popup with detailed product information: weight, dimensions, technical data, BSR, and the date the item was first available.
That combination explains why the extension turns up in so many corners of Amazon research: arbitrage sourcers read the seller counts before deciding what to buy, and KDP publishers use the same data box for book metadata (publisher, language, page count, ISBN, review count, and BSR).
The free extension covers amazon.com only; DS Amazon Quick View Extended is the developer's paid tier, licensed for a $25 one-time fee.
| Standard (free) | Extended ($25 one-time) | |
|---|---|---|
| Marketplaces | amazon.com only | All amazon.* domains |
| Data box: BSR, ASIN, FBA seller count, sold-by-Amazon | Yes | Yes |
| Price history | No | Yes, with an interactive Keepa graph |
| Lowest FBA price | No | Yes |
| No-Buy-Box flag | No | Yes |
| Prime and sold-by-Amazon filters | No | Yes |
That feature list comes from the developer's own Extended listing, which also notes that seeing BSR data inside the Keepa graph requires a Keepa premium account. Reviewer write-ups add filtering and sorting by price, BSR, and review score, plus CSV export of the scanned results.
The license key is sold by the developer, amidart, through the developer's own site, and the paid tier is distributed as a separate Extended listing. One practical note before putting it on a work profile: Extended's browser permissions include clipboard access and site data on all amazon.* domains.
There is no dashboard to visit; everything the extension does happens on the results page you were already looking at. One caveat: the free version does nothing on Amazon's other marketplaces, so if your work lives on amazon.co.uk or amazon.de, the data boxes only appear once you move to the Extended tier.
Most write-ups review the extension for the person installing it: the arbitrage sourcer, the print-on-demand seller, or the KDP publisher. If you sell 1P, though, the more useful question is what all of those installs see when they land on your catalog.
What others can see about you. Anyone with the free install, whether a reseller sizing up your products for sourcing or a competitor mapping the category, can search your brand and read your shelf in one scroll: the BSR of each ASIN, how many 3P sellers sit on each of your listings, and where Amazon retail holds the offer. All of it is public catalog data, but the extension collapses what used to be twenty open tabs into a glance. With 500,000+ installs in circulation, assume your catalog gets read this way.
Using it on your own catalog. The same install is also a fast, free shelf check. Search your brand on amazon.com and the data boxes answer three questions per ASIN without a single click: has an unfamiliar 3P seller appeared on a listing, is Amazon retail still holding the offer where you expect it, and how does BSR compare across your range and the competitor items ranking beside it. On the Extended tier, the no-Buy-Box flag also surfaces listings where nobody currently wins the featured offer. That is a five-minute weekly habit that otherwise means opening product pages one tab at a time.
Everything DS Amazon Quick View prints is public catalog data, read off pages any shopper can open. It cannot tell you how many shoppers viewed your detail pages, what you sold, what POs Amazon cut, or what a chargeback did to your margin. The vendor-side versions of those numbers live in Vendor Central; the traffic half of that picture is covered in our post on glance views, now renamed featured offer page views.
Reviewers make a related point from the seller side: compared with dedicated research suites like Jungle Scout, the free version is less detailed, with no sales-velocity estimates, no demand forecasting, and no product comparison, and it stays on amazon.com. That gap matters for a sourcing operation, but if you're using the extension as a vendor shelf check, the missing pieces are the ones Vendor Central already gives you better versions of.
Yes. The standard extension is free on the Chrome Web Store, where it shows 500,000+ users. The Extended version is paid: a $25 one-time license sold by the developer.
The free version works only on amazon.com. Extended supports all amazon.* domains, so marketplaces like amazon.co.uk and amazon.de require the paid tier.
Standard is free and prints the data box (BSR, ASIN, FBA seller count, sold-by-Amazon indicator) plus the hover popup on amazon.com. Extended, for a $25 one-time fee, adds every amazon.* marketplace, price history with an interactive Keepa graph, the lowest FBA price, a no-Buy-Box flag, Prime and sold-by-Amazon filters, and, per reviewer write-ups, sorting and CSV export.
Install it from the Chrome Web Store and browse Amazon search results as normal. The data box renders under each result automatically, and hovering over a product image opens the detailed popup. The extension does its work on the results page itself.
Treat the extension as a fast read of your public shelf, the same view of your catalog that every reseller and competitor with the install already has. The numbers that run the business still come from Vendor Central: traffic, sales, and purchase orders. And if assembling those numbers every week is the part you'd rather hand off, InsightLeap automates Vendor Central reporting for brands and agencies.
