Pay with any iOS or Android smartphone, any
major payment type and at any checkout lane – all through the
Walmart app
Walmart knows customers want to save not just money, but also
time. That’s why Walmart introduced Walmart Pay – a fast, easy and
secure way for customers to pay with their smartphones in Walmart
stores. Now, customers in the District of Columbia have access to
the checkout-changing service as it’s available in each of the
three Walmart stores in the city.
Built with the goal of improving how customers check out and
dramatically expanding mobile payment access, Walmart Pay is like
no other mobile payments solution available today. With this
launch, Walmart becomes the only retailer to offer its own payment
solution that works with any iOS or Android device*, at any
checkout lane, and with any major credit, debit, pre-paid or
Walmart gift card – all through the Walmart mobile app.
Open, Scan, Done – It’s That Easy
Checkout using Walmart Pay happens in three easy steps:
- Open: Visit any register, open
the Walmart app and choose Walmart Pay. Activate the camera.
- Scan: At any time during
checkout, simply scan the code displayed at the register. Walmart
Pay is now connected.
- Done: Associate scans and bags
the items… and it’s done. An eReceipt will be sent to the app and
can be viewed at any time.
More than twenty million customers actively use the Walmart app
each month and it ranks among the top three retail apps in the
Google and Apple app stores. The Walmart app enhances the shopping
experience in Walmart stores with features including checking in to
pick up an online order at a Walmart store, refilling pharmacy
prescriptions and finding an item’s store location.
“We can’t wait to hear what our customers and associates in the
District of Columbia think of Walmart Pay. The service was built to
make shopping easier and faster, something we know our customers
want,” said Daniel Eckert, senior vice president, Services, Walmart
U.S. “Walmart Pay is a powerful addition to our app, a tool that
we’re using to transform the shopping experience by seamlessly
connecting our online assets and our stores for customers. The
service opens the door to new and better ways we can serve the 140
million customers who shop our stores each week.”
