Shopping for everyday groceries, tech, and household items can be handled in a single place using Walmart. The app enables users to browse products, arrange fulfillment through local pickup, delivery, or standard parcel shipping, and manage both digital orders and physical retail trips. A standout inclusion is the Home VR tool, which lets shoppers view furniture and decorative pieces directly inside their living spaces before making a purchase.
Fulfillment and Order Tracking
Shoppers can choose between multiple methods to receive their merchandise. Curbside pickup allows users to alert the store when they are en route so associates can load groceries directly into their vehicle. Delivery brings items directly from a local store to the user’s door, including an Express option that can arrive in as fast as one hour, subject to fees and restrictions. For traditional shipping, orders over $35 are eligible for free two-day delivery handled by FedEx or UPS. Real-time updates appear on the home screen to monitor order statuses from dispatch to arrival.
In-Store Tools and Digital Checkout
The software offers tools to assist shoppers while walking store aisles. Built-in store maps help locate specific goods, while the integrated barcode scanner lets users check retail prices and assemble shopping lists. When ready to purchase, Walmart Pay facilitates contact-free transactions at the register and suggests ways to split the total cost across available cards and account balances.
Prescription and Healthcare Management
Beyond general retail, the app handles family health needs through a dedicated pharmacy section. Users can submit refills, manage active medications, transfer existing prescriptions, and arrange pickups. The interface also supports scheduling vaccination appointments and locating nearby testing sites.
AI Shopping Assistance and Walmart+ Integration
Sparky, a built-in AI assistant, offers real-time answers to product questions, compiles review summaries, and assists with shopping for occasions such as birthdays or housewarming events. For Walmart+ members, the app unlocks exclusive tools, including Scan & go for scanning grocery items and checking out on a phone while in the store. Members can also access fuel discounts of up to 10¢ per gallon across participating locations, including Exxon and Mobil fuel stations.
