Walmart and Sam’s Club are officially adding Tap to Pay to their checkout options starting Aug. 24, giving shoppers the ability to pay using contactless cards, smartphones and smartwatches.

The contactless payment option will initially launch at select Walmart and Sam’s Club locations before expanding nationwide. The company plans to roll out Tap to Pay to all U.S. stores and clubs by the end of 2026, with fuel stations scheduled to receive the technology by mid-2027.

Shoppers will also be able to add eligible Walmart, Sam’s Club and OnePay cards to digital wallets on their personal devices. The new Tap to Pay option joins existing payment methods, including cash, traditional credit cards, Walmart Pay and Sam’s Club Scan & Go.

Company officials said the update is part of a broader effort to offer customers more flexibility at checkout while simplifying everyday financial management through their in-store and digital platforms.
