The Wallmart App can be downloaded into mobile devices via iTunes and Google Play.

Using Walmart Pay

Once people have downloaded the app they are ready to go. To get started when checking out they open the app and choose Walmart Pay, since it is located in the Walmart app. People also need to enable their camera before making a purchase, because it will be used to connect the phone to the register.

Then during checkout the next step is to scan the code, which is found at the register, once that is done then Walmart Pay is linked to the register. This lets the system scan and track the items they are buying. This is all that needs to be done, once the transaction is complete people will receive an eReceipt, and users can review it in real time or later on.

The Walmart app can also be used to pick up items that were ordered via the website, to locate a store and to refill a prescription.
