Walmart and Sam’s Club Are Adding Tap to Pay Nationwide

Shopping is about to get even more convenient at Walmart and Sam’s Club. Tap to Pay is now available at select Walmart stores and Sam’s Club locations, giving customers and members another simple, familiar way to pay at checkout. The option will expand to all U.S. Walmart stores and Sam’s Club locations by the end of 2026, followed by fuel stations by mid-2027. Customers and members will be able to pay with eligible contactless cards, phones or smartwatches, and eligible Walmart, Sam’s Club, and OnePay cards can be added to digital wallets for easy access. 

Tap to Pay joins a growing range of payment choices designed to make shopping and managing money easier. Walmart customers can continue using cash, credit cards and Walmart Pay, while Sam’s Club members can use Scan & Go to scan and pay while they shop. The expansion is also part of Walmart’s broader effort to give customers and members more flexibility in their everyday finances, from options to save, build credit, and pay over time to Sam’s Cash and Sam’s Club credit. The goal is straightforward: more choice at checkout and a simpler shopping experience from start to finish. 

Why it matters: 

• Customers and members can use the contactless payment methods they already know and use. 

• Tap to Pay complements existing options including cash, credit cards, Walmart Pay, and Sam’s Club Scan & Go. 

• The rollout supports a broader effort to make shopping and everyday money management simpler and more flexible.
