Walmart begins rolling out Apple Pay and contactless payments to select stores starting August 24
↗
Walmart will start rolling out contactless payment support including Apple Pay to select Walmart and Sam's Club locations on August 24, expanding to all US stores by end of 2026 and fuel stations by mid-2027.
Only one feed is carrying this story, so corroboration is limited. For engineers working on retail payment integrations, the key detail is that Walmart is adding broad contactless support rather than Apple Pay alone, and that it will coexist with the existing QR-based Walmart Pay system rather than replacing it.
