Walmart Now Lets Customers Set Up Repeat Purchases by Subscription – Just 16 Years After Amazon
September 25, 2023
Walmart has introduced a subscription-based automatic replenishment service for frequently purchased items, allowing customers to schedule deliveries of essentials like paper towels and pet supplies. This move comes 16 years after Amazon pioneered a similar subscription offering. Walmart’s service, accessible through its smartphone app, aims to streamline shopping by providing regular deliveries based on individual preferences, whether bi-weekly or bi-monthly. While this strategy enhances customer convenience, Amazon’s “Subscribe & Save” program, established in 2007, has already been offering comparable services.
