Shoppers know Walmart to be one thing. It’s the go-to store that offers deep discounts, on food, clothes, electronics, and more. Walmart is the one-stop shop to get everything you want and need, and more than likely, you’ll get a good deal on at least a few of the items in your cart.
But if you’re seeing that another retailer has a lower price on an item in your cart, are you allowed to price match at Walmart? The answer is complicated, but we’ll walk you through it.
Does Walmart price match?
According to Walmart, the price match policies depend on which store you’re shopping in. When shopping at a Walmart U.S. location, the store will match the price of the item advertised on Walmart.com.
Price match restrictions
- Customers must notify the Walmart associate of the item’s price during checkout.
- The item being price matched must be identical in aspects such as size, model, quantity, brand, and color, and must be in stock and available for purchase on Walmart.com at the time of the request.
- Some price match requests may require approval from a Walmart supervisor, which could extend the checkout process as the price match eligibility is verified.
- Walmart reserves the right to limit purchases to one item per customer per day.
- In New Mexico, quantity limits apply only to purchases intended for resale.
- Price matching for Walmart.com items is not offered in Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico.
One other important note, the Walmart Store Manager on duty has the final decision on any Price Match.
Does Walmart price match other retailers?
No. Walmart does not price match any competitor’s online or in-store prices. They also do not price match Walmart.com prices that are on special events, like Rollback, Black Friday, or Cyber Monday deals.
Additionally, according to the Walmart price matching policy, Walmart will NOT price match:
- Prices from Walmart Marketplace Retailers or third-party Sellers
- Bundle offers, Instant Rebates, Mail-in Offers, Offers that include financing, Advertisements that require a purchase to receive a gift card, Percentage Off, or Buy One Get One Free advertisements without a specified price
- Prices from other Walmart or Neighborhood Market stores

Does Walmart.com price match?
No, Walmart.com does not price match. The online store offers the best possible price on all items, and as a result, this is one Walmart “location” that does not price match.
