Despite widespread adoption, Walmart has doubled down and gone on record saying it will not accept NFC-based payments like Apple Pay — in the U.S., at least.
Walmart would much rather you use Walmart Pay
Walmart has more than 4,500 stores in the United States, and exactly zero of them accept Apple Pay. Or Google Pay. Or even tap-to-pay with your credit or debit card.
This is because the big box retailer has decided to eschew NFC-based payments altogether. And it looks like it’s going to stay that way, too.
