Walmart Keeps Apple Pay Out of U.S. Stores, Bets on Its Own Payment System
TL;DR Summary
Walmart still blocks tap-to-pay in U.S. stores, with NFC turned off at checkout, so customers can’t use Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, or card tapping. Instead, Walmart pushes its own Walmart Pay and Scan & Go through the Walmart app, a setup tied to purchase-tracking and privacy considerations. Apple Pay remains available in Canada, but not in the United States as of 2026.
