Getting Started: Download, Don't Drown
First things first, you'll need the Walmart app. Download it, and if you haven't already, create an account. Don't worry, it's not like joining a secret society (unless your secret society involves saving money on bulk toilet paper).

Scanning Spree: Beeping Like a Boss
Now, the fun part! Head to your local Walmart, open the app, and find the glorious "Scan & Go" option. It might be hiding under a pile of virtual bananas, but don't worry, just keep swiping. Once you've unearthed this gem, activate Scan & Go.
Now, grab your basket (or, if you're feeling adventurous, a rogue shopping cart) and embrace your inner bar code detective. As you find your items, simply scan the barcode with your phone's camera. Beep boop, you're halfway to checkout freedom!
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.![]()
Bonus Tip: Feeling fancy? You can also enter the item quantity manually if you're buying, say, a mountain of chips. Just don't blame us if you end up with a chip shortage in your house.
Checkout Cha-Cha: Beeping Your Way to Freedom
Once you've scanned everything (and resisted the urge to scan the cashier, we've all been there), it's time to checkout. Head to the self-checkout lanes (the ones with the fancy high-tech screens, not the ones with the abacus).
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.![]()
Here comes the magic: Open the Scan & Go section in your app again and tap "Check Out". The app will then generate a QR code. Simply scan this code on the designated area on the self-checkout screen.
Voila! Your shopping list will appear, allowing you to review your purchases (and maybe remove that questionable impulse buy of a singing cactus). Once everything looks good, choose your payment method and confirm your purchase.
QuickTip: Pause before scrolling further.![]()
Congratulations, you've successfully navigated the Walmart Scan & Go like a champ! Now, skip the bagging area (unless you enjoy playing Tetris with groceries) and waltz out of there with your head held high (and your shopping bags in hand).
Remember: With great scanning power comes great responsibility. So be sure to only scan the items you're actually buying, and avoid setting off any alarms (unless you're aiming for a dramatic exit, but we don't recommend it).
So there you have it, folks! With Scan & Go, you can shop smarter, not harder, and avoid those checkout line meltdowns. Now go forth and conquer the aisles, one beep at a time!
