Shoppers in Walmart stores can now place online Walmart.com orders with the help of store associates.
If a consumer cannot locate an item in a store—for example, if an item is out of stock, unavailable or not the right size or color—a store associate can order the item for her via a handheld touchscreen device. The customer can choose to have her item shipped to her home or to the nearest Walmart location.
Once the associate places the order, the retailer will provide the customer with a printed ticket or an email or text receipt with a bar code to take to any register within the Walmart store. The customer can pay for her order via debit/credit card, check, Walmart Pay or cash.
