| How Do I Use Walmart Scan And Go |
Step 1: Arm Yourself (with the Walmart App)
First things first, you'll need the Walmart app (available on the App Store and Google Play). Think of it as your Excalibur, ready to slay the checkout dragon. Download it, arm yourself with a payment method (because magic doesn't pay the bills... yet), and sign in to your Walmart account.
Pro Tip: If you don't have a Walmart account, creating one is easier than saying "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." Just a few clicks and you're good to go!
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
Step 2: Enter the Scan & Go Arena (But Maybe Avoid the Jousting)
Open the app and navigate to the "Store Mode" landing page. There, amidst a sea of tempting offers, you'll find the holy grail: "Scan & Go". Tap it, and brace yourself for a wave of checkout-conquering power!
Important Note: As of now, Scan & Go is only available to Walmart+ members. So, if you're not already a member, you'll need to sign up (don't worry, there's usually a free trial involved, so you can test the Scan & Go waters before taking the plunge).
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.
Step 3: Scan Like a Boss (Because Apparently, Cashiers Judge)
Now comes the fun part: scanning! Grab your first item, find the barcode (it's usually that squiggly black and white thing), and hold your phone's camera over it. The app will beep (or play a fanfare, if you're lucky) and add the item to your virtual cart. Repeat for every item, feeling the power of efficiency course through your veins.

Bonus Tip: For items with multiple quantities, you can tap the quantity instead of scanning each one individually. You're basically a barcode-wielding wizard at this point.
QuickTip: Don’t skim too fast — depth matters.
Step 4: Checkout? We Don't Know Her (But Seriously, Here's How)
Once you've scanned everything, tap "View Cart" to make sure your virtual shopping basket matches your actual one (because nobody wants a surprise avocado at checkout). If everything looks good, hit the "Check Out" button and head to the self-checkout lanes.
Here's the slightly-less-magical part: Look for a designated Scan & Go station at the self-checkout. There, you'll scan a QR code displayed on the app with your phone's camera. The app will then show your final total, and you can choose your payment method (the same one you linked earlier, hopefully you haven't forgotten in the excitement). Confirm your payment, and voila! You've conquered the checkout dragon and emerged victorious (with a bag full of goodies).
QuickTip: Compare this post with what you already know.
Remember: Always bag your items before scanning the QR code at checkout. Trust me, nobody wants to be "that person" holding up the line while they stuff their groceries in at the last minute.
By following these steps, you'll be a Scan & Go master in no time. So, ditch the checkout lines, embrace the magic of technology, and enjoy the sweet, sweet satisfaction of a speedy shopping trip! Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility... use your Scan & Go powers for good (and maybe to avoid the long lines for that new bag of gummy bears).
