Hey friends! You all know I'm a big fan of Costco, but Sam's Club has some features that definitely stand out. One of the best is their Scan and Go feature. I know many people are intimidated to use it for the first time, so in this article, I'll guide you through the step-by-step process of how to use Sam's Club Scan and Go.
Step 1: Gather Your Items
First, gather all the items you want to buy. You can scan each item one by one as you go throughout the store, but I find it easier to do all the scanning at once. Find a quiet place in the store to stop and open the Sam's Club app.
Step 2: Open the Sam's Club App
To use the Scan and Go feature, your app needs to recognize that you're in the store. If you have location services turned on, it should automatically detect your location. When you're not in the store, the app will look different than when you are inside.
Troubleshooting
- Ensure location permissions are turned on for the app.
- Connect to the store's Wi-Fi if the app isn't recognizing your location.
Step 3: Start Scanning
Once the app recognizes you're in the store, tap the "Scan and Go" button. Use your phone to scan each item. The phone will beep and show the item in your cart. For faster scanning, switch to continuous scanning mode, which allows you to scan multiple items quickly before returning to your cart view.
Produce Items
You don't need to weigh produce items since Sam's Club sells them in specific weight packages. For example, bananas are sold in 3 lb bunches.
Step 4: Review Your Cart
When you're done scanning, click "View Cart" to see everything you've scanned. Double-check that you have all the items you want.
Step 5: Checkout
After reviewing your cart, tap "Checkout." The app will suggest additional items you might want to buy and ask you to confirm the number of items in your cart. Ensure the count is correct, then proceed to payment.
Step 6: Payment
You can pay directly in the app. If you have a card saved in your account, you can use that, or you can add a new card. Once everything looks right, slide the button to pay. The app will generate a QR code for you to show at the exit.
Step 7: Exit the Store
Head to the door, bypassing the checkout lines. The associate at the door will scan the QR code on your phone and a few items in your cart. After exiting, the app will confirm if you want an email receipt.
And that's it! You're all done. If you found this guide helpful, be sure to check out my video about using Walmart Pay. Watch it here!
