Unfortunately, not all stores and sites allow the use of Apple Pay, and Walmart is one of those that do not.

Unfortunately, Walmart does not support Apple Pay for payment on the website, within the Walmart app, or in physical stores. So what options do you have? You can either pay with traditional methods or, if you shop at Walmart regularly enough to make it worthwhile, you can download the official Walmart app from the App Store and use the Walmart Pay system.
