BENTONVILLE, Ark. -- (Business Wire)
Today, Walmart announced that Walmart Pay, a safe, easy and convenient
way for customers to check out with their smartphones, is now available
in the more than 4,600 Walmart stores nationwide.
Available through the Walmart app, Walmart Pay works with any iOS or
Android device*, at any checkout lane, and with any credit, debit,
pre-paid or Walmart gift card. Walmart Pay is like no other mobile
payments solution available today, expanding access to mobile payments
and improving the way customers check out in all Walmart stores in the
U.S.
“There is something very powerful about the ease and simplicity of
Walmart Pay,” said Daniel Eckert, senior vice president, services,
Walmart U.S. “What’s even more powerful though, is what this means for
our customers. We want to make every day easier for busy families. We’re
connecting all the parts of Walmart into one seamless shopping
experience with great stores, easy pickup, fast delivery, frictionless
checkout and apps and websites that are simple to use.”

“Today was my first experience using Walmart Pay and it was FAB-U-LOUS!
I was shopping with five of my children, which can sometimes feel a
little bit like herding cats, and Walmart Pay got us through the
register smoothly,” said Lisa Rowlee, a Walmart Pay customer via the
Walmart app. “I could keep my eye on my cute little kiddos rather than
digging through my purse to pull out my debit card. Using my phone to
scan the code was easy – I have it out to reference my shopping list
anyway. Thank you so much. I'm a convert!”
Walmart Pay is one of the newest and most powerful additions to the
Walmart app, which ranks among the top three retail apps in the Apple
and Google app stores with more than 20 million active users. The app
was built with an emphasis on making shopping faster and easier for
customers – from refilling a pharmacy prescription to building a gift
registry and finding where an item is located in store. The app also
makes it easy for customers to shop the millions of items on Walmart.com.
“Walmart Pay is just the beginning,” said Eckert. “We’re building deeper
relationships with our customers across our ecosystem and are looking
forward to delivering new tools like Walmart Pay that allow them to use
the Walmart App as their remote control for a faster, more convenient
shopping experience.”
