So you wanna be a Walmart Scan & Go pro? Buckle up, buttercup!
Let's face it, checkout lines at Walmart can be longer than a Kardashian's selfie stick. But fear not, intrepid shopper, for there's a way to be your own cashier and waltz (pun intended) past those pesky lines. Enter Scan & Go, your ticket to checkout freedom (and maybe a few raised eyebrows from confused onlookers).
How Walmart Scan And Go Works |
Step 1: Become a Mobile Marvel (with a Walmart+ Membership)
Before you channel your inner Usain Bolt and sprint through the aisles, there's a teeny tiny caveat. You gotta be a Walmart+ member to join the Scan & Go party. Think of it as your VIP pass to skipping the lines.
Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.![]()
Step 2: Embrace the App (It's not going to scan itself)
Okay, you're in! Now, download the Walmart app and find the Scan & Go section. It's probably hiding somewhere between the "Where's my order?" tab and the "DIY face mask tutorial" video (because, priorities, you know?).
QuickTip: Compare this post with what you already know.![]()
Step 3: Scan Like a Boss (But maybe not like a boss boss)
Here comes the fun part! Grab your chosen item (avoid the live lobsters for now, trust me) and scan the barcode with your phone's camera. The app will magically add it to your virtual shopping cart.
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.![]()
Pro tip: Feeling fancy? You can also enter the item quantity manually if you're buying, say, a whole mountain of toilet paper. Just don't blame us if your bathroom starts resembling a snow fort.
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.![]()
Step 4: Checkout? We don't know her! (Okay, maybe a little)
Once you've scanned your goodies (and resisted the urge to throw in a rogue Snickers bar), head to the self-checkout lanes. Don't worry, you won't have to rescan everything. Just open the Scan & Go section in your app, find the magical QR code, and scan it with the self-checkout scanner.
Voila! You've just bypassed the checkout line like a seasoned ninja. Now, pay with your chosen method (don't forget your coupons!), grab your receipt (or go green and skip it!), and bask in the glory of your time-saving skills.
Remember: Scan & Go is great for smaller shopping trips. If you're planning a shopping spree that rivals Black Friday, the traditional checkout line might be your friend. Also, be on the lookout for any weight and quantity restrictions, and don't forget your reusable bags (unless you enjoy the delightful experience of paying for plastic ones).
So, there you have it! With a little practice, you'll be a Scan & Go master in no time. Now go forth and conquer those (virtual) shopping carts, and remember, scanning is caring (and way faster than waiting in line).
