Walmart shoppers may soon find themselves struggling to make purchases without a traditional wallet in hand. The retail giant has announced a surprising decision to drop Apple Pay as a payment option in its stores, leaving customers who rely on the mobile payment service scrambling for alternative methods. The move is reportedly due to the high fees associated with processing Apple Pay transactions, which Walmart claims are too steep to justify. As a result, shoppers will need to rely on other contactless payment methods, such as Google Pay or Samsung Pay, or opt for traditional credit or debit cards.
If you head to Walmart without your wallet, you'll need to use another means to pay apart from Apple Pay. Here's why the chain refuses to utilize the method.
