Ah, Scan and Go. The mythical land of checkout-free shopping, whispered about in hushed tones by weary veterans of the grocery wars.

| How Does Scan And Go At Walmart Work |
Step 1: Arm Yourself (with the right tools)
Before you embark on your Scan and Go odyssey, you'll need a trusty weapon: the Walmart app. Download it, arm yourself with your login information (and maybe a sense of adventure), and you're halfway there.
Pro Tip: Make sure your phone is charged like a well-rested explorer. You wouldn't want your phone to die mid-scannage, leaving you stranded in the self-checkout wilderness.
QuickTip: Focus on what feels most relevant.
Step 2: Enter the Jungle (and find the Scan and Go portal)
Navigate your way past the cashier sirens and the tempting displays of impulse-buy candy. Your goal is the mythical Scan and Go portal, usually located near the self-checkout area. Look for signs or ask a friendly Walmart associate for guidance.
Warning: Avoid the temptation to judge those cashier-using shoppers. They may not be enlightened Scan and Go masters yet, but they're still valuable members of the shopping ecosystem.
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.
Step 3: Become a Master Scanner (without the laser eyes)
With the Scan and Go portal activated on your app, you're ready to conquer the aisles. As you encounter each item, don't just shove your phone in its face (unless it's a particularly stubborn barcode, in which case, go for it). Gently scan the barcode on the item, and watch it magically appear in your virtual shopping cart.

Pro Tip: If you're feeling fancy, you can use the app's search function to find specific items. No more wandering the aisles like a lost explorer!
QuickTip: Revisit this post tomorrow — it’ll feel new.
Step 4: Face the Checkout Guardian (but it's not as scary as it sounds)
Once you've scanned your way to shopping cart victory, head to the self-checkout area. Scan the QR code presented on the screen by your trusty app, and review your loot (aka, your virtual shopping cart) for accuracy.
Remember: Honesty is the best policy. Don't try to sneak a mango past the checkout guardian (the self-checkout machine) without scanning it. They have ways of knowing these things, and you don't want to be ejected from the Scan and Go paradise.
Tip: Compare what you read here with other sources.
Step 5: Claim Your Victory (and escape the jungle)
Once your payment method is confirmed (with a tap, swipe, or magical Walmart voodoo), the checkout guardian will grant you passage. Show your digital receipt to a Walmart associate on your way out, and bask in the glory of your Scan and Go conquest. You've emerged from the shopping jungle, a champion with a bag full of treasures (and maybe a newfound appreciation for self-checkout technology).
Congratulations, adventurer! You've successfully navigated the wonders and woes of Walmart's Scan and Go. Now go forth and shop with confidence, knowing that you hold the key to checkout-free victory.
