The second-largest hardware chain in the U.S. has finally decided to support Apple Pay. For those who don’t know what Apple Pay is, it is the mobile payment service that allows an iPhone user to select a credit, debit, or prepaid card from the Wallet app and tap the phone against a POS machine (it stands for point of sale, probably not what you were thinking) to complete a transaction at a retail store.
Using Walmart Pay requires you to install the iOS or Android version of the Walmart app on your phone. Earlier this year Kroger tried to apply some pressure to competitor Walmart by accepting Apple Pay for the first time starting last April.
If you’re like me, there is that feeling when Face ID verifies you and that “ding” goes off indicating that your payment via Apple Pay has been accepted. And we have no doubt that Apple loves that sound too since it means more money, albeit in nickels and dimes, is being added to its coffers.
