Walmart pairs its store network with a large online catalogue: groceries for pickup or delivery, general merchandise shipped from warehouses, and a marketplace of third-party sellers listing alongside Walmart's own stock. A Walmart+ membership adds free delivery, a fuel discount, and a Paramount+ subscription.
Online sales have been the growth engine. E-commerce rose 24% worldwide in the 2026 fiscal year to 150.4 billion dollars, and climbed 27% year on year in the third quarter. Curbside pickup and same-day delivery from stores handle a large share of those orders, a fulfilment network the pure online rivals do not have. Incoming chief executive John Furner has tied his appointment to steering the company through AI-driven change.
The clearest sign of that is Sparky, a generative AI assistant now live in the app, on the website, and in stores. It handles reordering staples, planning meals, and steering recommendations, and Walmart says shoppers who use it build baskets around 35% larger, with purchases through Sparky up several times over in a single quarter. The retailer is also getting ready for outside AI agents to shop on a customer's behalf.
A Walmart account is made with an email and a password. A phone number can be added and confirmed by SMS for order pickup, delivery alerts, and account security, and it backs two-step sign-in. Someone who would rather keep order and pickup texts off a personal or work line can use an additional virtual number for that step and read the SMS in a 5SIM order.
