Walmart hasn't adopted Apple Pay, and it's not clear whether it will though one report I read said the company is increasingly open to it. Now, however, you have another option for paying at Walmart.
Last week the company launched a new mobile payment system at selected stores that lets you pay for your purchase at the checkout counter by scanning a QR code with your iPhone or iPad. For it to work on an iPad, though, you'll likely need to have a cellular data model. The new mobile payment system will be available nationwide by the first half of next year.

If you are an iPhone user who still wants to pay for products via your smartphone at Walmart in a quick and easy way, then you are in luck! Side note: the below video walks you through the entire process of setting up and paying wirelessly using Walmart Pay on an iPhone in-store! To use the Walmart Pay app, simply take your items at the register or self-checkout aisle and scan the QR code once the final total comes up.
Similar to Apple Pay, the payment will go through instantly, and as a bonus, you will get your digital receipt right within the app for safekeeping! While Walmart Pay is not as seamless as Apple Pay, this is still the next best thing that allows customers to pay digitally and not have to carry around a wallet or purse. Before the company came out with Walmart Pay, they had another reason not to accept Apple Pay.
Additionally, another reason why Walmart refuses to accept Apple Pay is that they are unable to capture any data when a customer makes a purchase. This information is incredibly valuable as it allows Walmart to send custom recommendations and notifications to customers who use the Walmart Pay app.
According to a Walmart spokesperson , Walmart has no plans to accept Apple Pay in the future. Since Walmart Pay is built into the Walmart app you have right on your iPhone, there really is no need for Apple Pay and the associated fees. Although you cannot use Apple Pay at Walmart, there are thousands of other stores where you can use your iPhone to pay for groceries and other items.
They were holding out against the app but gave in recently. See more stories. In Other News. Credit Card Rate Report. National Average Low Interest Business Balance Transfer Airline Cash Back Reward Student Instant Approval Bad Credit Questions or comments?
