Walmart Plans Major Checkout Changes at Over 26 Locations by 2025

Walmart is set to make significant changes to its checkout process and in-store experience, including switching its Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) partner from Affirm to Klarna by the 2025 holiday season. This change will allow customers to pay for items in installments ranging from three to 36 months, which Klarna's CEO describes as a 'game changer.' Additionally, Walmart plans to invest millions in remodeling and building over 150 stores in the next five years to enhance the shopping experience. The retailer aims to improve its in-store shopping environment while continuing to expand its online capabilities. Furthermore, Walmart is also investing in new fuel and convenience stations across the U.S. to offer competitive prices and better serve customers. These updates reflect Walmart's commitment to enhancing customer value and convenience across its operations.
