Walmart has launched a free Text to Shop feature for iOS and Android users, allowing customers to add items to their carts by texting. Connected to their Walmart account, it remembers usual purchases, lets shoppers modify their cart, and provides checkout via text or the app. Pickup scheduling and delivery are also available.
This service builds on Walmart’s earlier text-based shopping experiments, making the convenience accessible to all users. Mobile commerce continues to grow, with more consumers shopping via their phones, as seen in record-breaking mobile sales during Thanksgiving and Black Friday.
