Walmart pickup lets you order online or in the app, then collect your items at the store instead of shopping the aisles. This guide walks through the steps from the first click to the parking lot.

Quick answer: Place an order, choose a pickup time slot, wait for the "ready" notice, then check in through the app and a store associate brings the order to your car. Details can vary by store, so read the steps shown during your checkout.

How Walmart pickup works

  1. Choose your store and add items. Pick pickup as the method at checkout.
  2. Pick a time slot. Available slots depend on your store.
  3. Wait for the ready message. An associate gathers and bags your order and you get a notice that it is ready.
  4. Check in when you arrive. Use the app, or call the number on the pickup sign.
  5. Go to the pickup spot. An associate brings the order out. Some stores may ask for a barcode or PIN.
  6. Check your items. Look over the bags before you leave and report any problem through the help center.
