Debit or credit card
Debit and credit card refunds will be available in up to 10 business days.
If your purchase was made using a debit or credit card, we’ll issue the refund to that same card. If the original card is not present and isn't available by scanning the receipt, your refund is processed onto a Walmart shopping card or gift card.
If your purchase was a debit transaction, we'll place the refund on the debit card.
Return in-store items without a receipt
If you don't have your receipt, show us your valid government-issued photo ID. We'll accept your return if your ID information matches with the one stored in our secured database.
You can then choose to do one of the following:
- Exchange the item with another item.
- Get a Walmart gift card.
- If available, send the item to the manufacturer for repair.
We refund returns to your original method of payment. Find more information on how to submit a return.
Review our information on authorization holds if your order was canceled or didn't ship.
What if I cancel my order?
If you cancel your order before your item ships, we release the authorization hold on your payment method.
If the item has already shipped, we are not able to cancel the order. You can return the item for a refund.
