Walmart ​encourages the use of Walmart Pay over ⁤third-party options

Despite a growing trend towards contactless payments, Walmart has firmly stated its intention to refrain from accepting NFC-enabled systems like Apple Pay in the⁤ United States.

With over ⁤4,500 locations across ‍America, not a single Walmart outlet currently supports Apple Pay. This also applies to Google Pay and traditional tap-to-pay methods with credit or debit‍ cards.

The​ retailer has opted out ⁢of NFC technology‌ entirely, suggesting that this stance⁤ is likely​ to​ persist for ‌the foreseeable future.

A spokesperson for Walmart conveyed their position to MacRumors by ⁢stating:

“We do not accommodate NFC transactions; instead, we have designed user-friendly solutions like‍ Walmart Pay that facilitate quick and touchless ‌payments via any smartphone. Furthermore, we have invested in cutting-edge technologies ‌beyond mere transactions—such‍ as ‌Scan‍ & Go—for our Sam’s Club and Walmart+ patrons, enabling them to skip checkout lines entirely ‍for an enhanced shopping experience.”

For⁢ more ‍than ten years, the retail giant⁣ has focused on creating its own supposedly convenient payment methods. ⁢One such option​ is Walmart Pay, which permits ⁢users ‌to pay by scanning a QR code linked to their stored card information within their Walmart account. Introduced in 2016, this feature requires some setup ⁢on part of the customer.

Utilizing ‌Walmart‌ Pay necessitates having‌ a registered⁢ account ⁣with the retailer and downloading the app—making it less streamlined compared to an‌ established method like Apple Pay.

Another benefit available exclusively for members ⁢of​ Walmart+ is Scan & Go; this feature enables ​shoppers to scan product barcodes during their visit​ so they can bypass conventional checkout queues⁣ altogether.

It seems evident ⁤that as long as possible, Walmart intends to steer⁣ customers away from⁣ NFC ‍options while advocating for its proprietary services—in U.S.⁤ stores ⁢at least. According to⁢ reports from MacRumors, Canadian branches have accepted Apple Pay since 2020.

Apple Pay ⁣was launched on October 20th in⁣ 2014—making‌ it slightly over ten years old now—and recent⁢ findings reveal widespread consumer approval due primarily to ⁢its user convenience⁤ combined with top-notch security measures protecting personal information.

Major retailers increasingly⁢ integrate Apple Pay along with additional forms‍ of NFC payments into their systems. Even brands historically resistant such as Kroger—a well-known ‌grocery chain—and home improvement leader The Home Depot have begun offering acceptance of Apple’s ‌payment⁣ system in recent ⁤times.
