How To Return In Walmart App |
Step 1: Embrace the App

Step 2: Find Your Return Journey
Now, for the slightly-less-intuitive part: finding the return initiation point. There are two main ways:
- Option A: Go to "Account" > "Purchase History". Find the order containing your return item and tap "Order Details". There, you'll see a glorious button saying "Start a Return". Click it and bask in its glory.
- Option B: Tap the search bar at the bottom of the app and type in "Returns". This should lead you to the "Returns & Refunds" page, where you can tap "Start Return Online".
Remember: Whichever path you choose, don't be intimidated by the app's terminology. Just follow the prompts, and you'll be golden.
Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.![]()
Step 3: Channel Your Inner Sherlock
Once you've initiated the return, the app will ask you to select the item(s) you're returning and choose a reason (think "wrong size," "changed my mind," or "possessed by a mischievous gremlin").
Here's the fun part: You get to be a detective! Dig into your memory (or email) to find the order number and item number. These are crucial for the app to understand what you're returning.
Tip: Reflect on what you just read.![]()
Step 4: Choose Your Return Adventure
Now comes the exciting bit: deciding how to return the item. The app will offer you two options:
- Return to store: This classic choice allows you to interact with friendly customer service representatives (and maybe snag some free samples while you're there).
- Schedule a free pickup: Feeling fancy? Opt for a hassle-free pickup at your doorstep. The app will even schedule a time slot that works for you.
Bonus tip: If you choose "return to store," the app will generate a barcode. Show this barcode to the friendly folks at the customer service desk, and they'll handle the rest.
QuickTip: Focus more on the ‘how’ than the ‘what’.![]()
Step 5: The Grand Finale (aka, Wait for Your Refund)
After you've completed the steps above, sit back, relax, and let the app work its magic. You'll receive a confirmation email with an estimated refund timeframe.
Remember: Depending on your chosen return method, it might take a few days for the return to be processed and your refund to be issued. But fret not, patience is a virtue, and soon you'll be swimming in a sea of your hard-earned cash (or store credit, if you prefer).
So there you have it! Returning items to Walmart with the app is simple, convenient, and dare I say, slightly thrilling (okay, maybe that's a stretch, but it's definitely not a return-pocalypse scenario). Now go forth and conquer those unwanted purchases with confidence!
