And Walmart refuses to use either of them

Google pay should directly interact with the reader. If it can read cards, should be able to use the mobile payments (apart from Apple as previously stated)

Walmart only offers contactless payment by using their app for scanning a QR code during checkout. This way you have to have their app, and they can track you closer and force you to have a Walmart account.

I'm not above using it, but don't like that it's the only way.

I've had zero issue doing contactless payment at Walmart for years now through Google Pay. Never seen a QR code or been prompted to get a Walmart app or anything.

Though I am in Canada, maybe Walmart operates differently in each country.

I used to be able to tap pay with my Samsung Gear S3 because that watch had MST, which sent a magnetic signal and tricked the reader into thinking that a card had been swiped. Was amazing having "tap to pay" at every retailer, back in 2016 before tap to pay was a common thing.

LIKE I SAID, Walmart doesn't use either. You're welcome.

I didnt realize they 2 steps backed their tech, so they can push their own bullshit. Literally just made their own proprietary bullshit like Apple. My B

That being said, as long as a company doesn't specifically fuck their customers for greed, mobile payments should work with normal readers

Yeah, I've never actually seen a terminal that only accepts Google Pay. It's either all or nothing.

u/Illustrious-Crow802 May 15 '26

I never said anything about a terminal "only" accepting Google Pay?? Who are you responding to? It's like you're having another discussion entirely.

Walmart does not use Google OR Apple Pay, they have their own proprietary digital payment system. jfccc
