Walmart finally launching Apple Pay support next week
Walmart has announced that it will finally begin rolling out Apple Pay support next week. The retailer has resisted offering Apple Pay support for more than a decade, despite pressure from shoppers.
Walmart announced it will start rolling out Apple Pay support at its stores next week, ending a decade-long resistance to the technology. The retailer will offer contactless payment options, including Apple Pay, at Walmart and Sam’s Club locations starting August 24, with full coverage across all US stores by the end of the year and fuel stations by mid-2027.
This is a significant move for consumers, as Walmart has long favored its own QR code-based payment system, Walmart Pay, over Apple Pay. The feature will be available alongside existing payment methods like Walmart Pay. Customers can also add their Walmart and Sam’s Club cards to Apple Wallet and other platforms. This development has sparked excitement among shoppers, who have expressed frustration over Walmart's lack of support for Apple Pay.
