What is "WALMART.COM" on my bank statement?
WALMART.COM is a legitimate charge from Walmart for an online purchase, pickup order, or delivery fee.
Merchant: Walmart | Category: Shopping
What Is This Charge?
A charge from Walmart reflects a purchase at Walmart, the retail company founded in 1962 that operates about 10,500 stores and clubs worldwide. Walmart sells groceries, household goods, electronics, pharmacy items, and general merchandise through stores and Walmart.com. A Walmart.com charge usually comes from an online order, grocery pickup, home delivery, or a delivery tip or fee. The descriptor can also appear when a customer buys from a third-party seller on Walmart Marketplace.
Why Does This Charge Appear on My Statement?
This charge appears when you place an order on Walmart.com, use the Walmart app, or complete a pickup or delivery purchase. It can also appear after an order ships, after a substitution changes the final total, or after a temporary authorization becomes a posted charge. Some Walmart grocery orders show a higher pending amount first because the card is preauthorized before final weight-based pricing is known. If you used Walmart Pay, the charge can still post under a Walmart.com or Walmart-related descriptor.
Typical Charge Amounts
Walmart.com charges often range from under $10 for small household items to $50 to $150 for common grocery and general merchandise orders. Delivery fees can add about $7.95 to $9.95, and express delivery fees can be higher depending on the market and time window. A temporary card authorization may appear for $1, $5, or a larger estimated order total before the final amount posts. Walmart+ membership charges are typically $98 per year or about $12.95 per month before tax.

Is This Charge Legitimate?
A Walmart.com charge is usually legitimate if you recently placed an order, scheduled pickup, or accepted a delivery fee. Check your Walmart account at https://www.walmart.com or in the Walmart app to match the order total, date, and last four digits of the payment card. Review your email for an order confirmation, shipping notice, or receipt from Walmart, because those messages usually list the exact amount and order number. If you do not recognize the charge, call Walmart Customer Care at 1-800-925-6278 and ask for the transaction details.
How to Dispute or Cancel
1. Open your order in the Walmart app or on https://www.walmart.com and check whether it is still pending, shipped, or delivered. 2. If the order has not shipped, cancel it from your account or contact Walmart support at 1-800-925-6278 as soon as possible. 3. If the item was delivered, review Walmart's return policy in your account or at the store, because many items can be returned within 30 days, while some electronics and special items have shorter windows. 4. If the charge is unauthorized or the merchant cannot resolve it, contact your bank or card issuer immediately and file a card dispute while keeping your order emails, screenshots, and receipts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Walmart charge show as WALMART.COM?
WALMART.COM usually appears when you buy online, schedule pickup, or pay for delivery through Walmart.com or the Walmart app. The descriptor can also show for marketplace orders and final charges that post after a temporary authorization. Check your Walmart account and email receipt to match the exact order number and amount.
How do I cancel my Walmart subscription?
You can cancel Walmart+ by signing in at https://www.walmart.com/plus or in the Walmart app and opening your membership settings. Turn off auto-renew before the next billing date if you do not want another charge. If you were billed through a different payment method or need help, call Walmart Customer Care at 1-800-925-6278.
Why is my Walmart charge a different amount than expected?
Walmart charges can change when grocery items are weighed, substitutions are made, or a tip, delivery fee, or tax is added after checkout. A card may also show a temporary authorization that is higher than the final posted amount. Compare the final receipt in your Walmart account with the pending card transaction.
Does Walmart place a hold on grocery pickup or delivery orders?
Yes, Walmart can place a temporary hold or authorization before the final charge posts. The hold may be based on the estimated order total, and the final amount can change after substitutions, weighted items, or removed items are processed. The pending charge usually drops off and is replaced by the final posted amount.
Can I get a refund for a Walmart.com order?
Yes, refunds are usually available for eligible items returned under Walmart's return policy. Start the return in your Walmart account, use the receipt or order number, and follow the return instructions for mail or in-store returns. If the refund does not appear after the return is processed, contact Walmart support or your bank with the return confirmation.
