Walmart to Begin Accepting Apple Pay in U.S. Stores

After years of holding out, Walmart today announced that it will finally begin accepting tap-to-pay options like Apple Pay and Google Pay in some of its Walmart and Sam’s Club stores in the U.S. starting Monday, August 24. The retailer plans to roll out tap-to-pay support to all of its U.S. stores by the end of 2026 and to its gas stations by mid-2027.

« We want customers and members to have choice in how they pay, so they can check out in the way that works best for them, » said Walmart, in a press release.

Other major U.S. retailers like The Home Depot, Lowe’s, Kroger, and Texas grocery store chain H-E-B already reversed course and rolled out tap-to-pay support in recent years, leaving Walmart as one of the most notable remaining holdouts until now.

Walmart has already accepted Apple Pay in its Canadian stores since 2020.
