With Paychecks Coming on
Cyber Monday, Walmart Makes it Easy to Pay Cash for Online Orders
This year, three times as
many Americans will be getting a paycheck on Cyber Monday, which comes on the
first day of the month this year.* That’s good news for the millions of Walmart
customers who come to Walmart stores to cash their checks each week, who can
take advantage of Walmart.com’s Pay with Cash program on
Cyber Monday. Walmart was the first national retailer to introduce a convenient
way for customers to order online and pay for the order with cash in their
local store without a banking service or a credit, debit or prepaid card. Last
year, Pay with Cash usage spiked during the period between Black Friday and
Cyber Monday, and so far this year, Walmart has seen usage at its highest on
the first of the month. As Walmart continues to combine digital and
physical retail, customers have more options and opportunities to participate
in Cyber Monday and holiday shopping online this year.
More Ways to Save with Every Day Free Shipping to Home
or a Store
All year long, Walmart offers
free shipping to customers’ homes on orders totaling $50 or more and free pickup
at Walmart stores. Additionally, Walmart offers free same-day pickup at a local
store for more than 70,000 items, one of the fastest ways to receive an online
order without paying a delivery fee.
New – Mobile-friendly web site experience
Mobile traffic to Walmart’s
smartphone app has nearly quadrupled since last year. Just in time for the
holidays, Walmart is well positioned to serve mobile customers. Walmart.com’s new web site design was built
for mobile devices and makes holiday shopping faster, with tools to discover
new products through personalization and enhanced search.
