Hold Your Horses on the Honey Boo Boo Blanket, You Can Afterpay at Walmart?!
That's right, folks! You read the headline correctly. You can now indulge in that sweet, sweet retail therapy at Walmart and split the cost into manageable bite-sized payments with Afterpay. Here's the lowdown on how to avoid a ramen noodle only diet after your shopping spree:
Step 1: Download the Afterpay App (Unless You're Living Under a Rock)
First things first, you gotta have the Afterpay app downloaded on your phone. Think of it like your magic shopping wand that lets you say "bibbidi-bobbidi-budget." Unless you're rocking a flip phone (because hey, retro is cool!), downloading the app is a breeze.
Step 2: The Search for Bargains Begins (But Not Really Because Afterpay)
Open the Afterpay app and get ready to virtually waltz through the aisles of Walmart (well, kind of). Use the search bar to find your Walmart shopping haven. Now, here's the heads up: you won't be able to directly buy everything at Walmart with Afterpay. But don't fret, there's a clever workaround!
Step 3: Gift Card Magic!
This might seem a little hocus pocus, but trust the process. Afterpay lets you generate a single-use virtual gift card for Walmart. Choose the amount you want to spend, and Afterpay will split it into your typical four payments. Now you can use this magical gift card to checkout on the Walmart website or app and snag all those things you absolutely (or maybe not so absolutely) need.
Step 4: Checkout Champions
Once you have your Afterpay gift card info, head over to the Walmart checkout and treat it like any other gift card. Voila! You've successfully used Afterpay to conquer Walmart, and your bank account will thank you later (well, kind of).
Important Side Note: Keep an Eye on Those Afterpay Dates!
Using Afterpay is all fun and games until you miss a payment, and then it's more like crying into your pillow games. Remember, Afterpay has a schedule for those installments, so make sure you mark your calendar or set up reminders to avoid any late fees that might put a damper on your shopping spree.
So there you have it! Now you can say goodbye to buyer's remorse and hello to responsible (-ish) shopping with Afterpay at Walmart. Just remember, even though Afterpay makes it easy to treat yourself, it's always good to be mindful of your budget. Unless, of course, you really need that life-sized cardboard cutout of Big Bird for your living room... no judgement here.
