As mobile payments become more popular, many Walmart shoppers wonder: Can I add my Walmart card to Apple Wallet? Whether you have a Walmart gift card or a Walmart MoneyCard, here’s everything you need to know about compatibility, setup, and alternatives.
đź’ł 1. Can You Add a Walmart Gift Card to Apple Wallet?
Unfortunately, you cannot directly add a Walmart gift card to Apple Wallet.
Apple Wallet supports payment cards like credit cards, debit cards, and certain prepaid cards issued by major banks, but Walmart gift cards are not among them.
However, there’s a workaround — you can store your Walmart gift card barcode or card number in the Walmart app. The app allows you to link and scan your card at checkout, both online and in-store. Before adding your card, don’t forget to check your Walmart gift card balance so you know how much credit you have available.
🏦 2. Adding a Walmart MoneyCard to Apple Wallet
If you own a Walmart MoneyCard, there’s some good news — in some cases, it can be added to Apple Wallet. Since the MoneyCard is a reloadable prepaid debit card backed by Green Dot Bank and powered by Visa or Mastercard, it works like a traditional debit card.
To use it with Apple Pay, first visit the Walmart Money Card activation page to activate your card. Once activated:
- Open the Apple Wallet app.
- Tap the “+” icon to add a new card.
- Select Debit or Credit Card.
- Scan your Walmart MoneyCard or enter details manually.
- Verify your card through Green Dot Bank if prompted.
After setup, you can make contactless payments anywhere Apple Pay is accepted — from stores to apps and online purchases.
📱 3. Benefits of Using Walmart Cards Digitally
- Fast and Secure Payments: Using Apple Pay with your Walmart MoneyCard adds an extra layer of security and convenience.
- Track Spending Easily: Both the Walmart app and Apple Wallet let you view transaction history.
- No Physical Card Needed: You can shop seamlessly using just your iPhone or Apple Watch.
If you’re using a gift card, keeping it linked in the Walmart app also helps you use your balance efficiently without losing track.
🧾 4. Alternative Ways to Use Walmart Gift Cards
Even though you can’t use Apple Wallet directly, you can still:
- Add your card to the Walmart app for quick checkout.
- Use your Walmart gift card online or in-store.
- Check your Walmart gift card balance regularly to plan purchases.
âś… Final Thoughts
While Walmart gift cards cannot be added to Apple Wallet, Walmart MoneyCards often can — thanks to their Visa or Mastercard backing. To get started, complete your Walmart Money Card activation and enjoy seamless, contactless payments through Apple Pay.
And before your next Walmart trip, always check your Walmart gift card balance to make sure you’re ready to shop smart.
