Walmart Rollback vs Clearance: What Is the Difference?

Scale comparing a Walmart rollback tag and a clearance tag

A rollback is a lower price on an item for a period of time. Clearance is a markdown to sell through remaining stock. Both can save you money, but they work differently, so here is how to tell them apart and where to look for each.

Quick answer: Rollback = a price drop on an item that Walmart usually keeps in stock. Clearance = a markdown, often on items being sold through, and stock can run out. Check the item page for the current price and the earlier price.

How to read the price

On a rollback page, Walmart shows the new price, the earlier price and the amount you save. Read all three. If the earlier price and the new price are close, the saving is small.

How to decide

  1. Search the item on walmart.com.
  2. Check if it is under Rollbacks or Clearance.
  3. Compare the price with other sellers.
  4. Check pickup or delivery options for your store.
