The Walmart Healthcare Research Institute and health and research company Care Access plan to open three more Clinical Trial Centers in Walmart stores in the first half of 2027. The sites will be in Livonia, Michigan; Las Vegas, Nevada; and San Antonio, Texas. The partnership recently opened its first four centers in Houston and Tyler, Texas; Dalton, Georgia; and Brandon, Florida. A grand opening event was held today at the Houston site. The centers will support Phase 2, 3, and 4 trials, including studies in cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease. They will also offer health screenings and one-on-one consultations on research options. Care Access runs clinical operations. Study offerings and eligibility vary by location. "Our collaboration with Walmart allows us to go one step further," said Ahmad Namvargolian, chief executive officer of Care Access.

Walmart Business expands payment flexibility for suppliers with TreviPay integration.

Walmart Business expands payment flexibility for suppliers with TreviPay integration. By Novita Anggraini October 23, 2026 Walmart Business has rolled out expanded access to its Pay By Invoice service, which provides customers with net 30-day payment terms and integrated financial management tools. The update, revealed today, builds on a previous pilot and leverages TreviPay's platform to extend eligibility to additional qualifying businesses. The new system embeds directly into Walmart's procurement interface, offering a dedicated credit line alongside automated invoice matching. Users can place orders through digital or in-store channels while delaying payments for up to 30 days, enhancing working capital. The unified dashboard handles invoices, transactions, refunds, and returns, making financial oversight simpler for organizations with multiple departments or locations. TreviPay CEO Brandon Spear emphasized that commercial buyers frequently need payment flexibility separate from consumer transactions. By integrating financial controls into the checkout process, the service aims to drive recurring purchases. Pilot participants gave the program a 90% satisfaction rating, indicating strong interest in extended payment options. Entities with detailed procurement workflows, such as educational institutions, nonprofits, and government offices, will see the most immediate advantages. Schools can consolidate purchases across facilities, nonprofits can monitor grant-funded expenditures, and public agencies can generate audit trails. For private businesses, the 30-day deferral period allows reallocation of funds without disrupting operations. Payment flexibility appears to be a decisive factor in vendor selection. According to TreviPay's findings, 51% of business purchasers would consider switching suppliers if competitors offered better net terms. The rollout may therefore help Walmart capture a larger share of the B2B market by resolving a persistent challenge for institutional and corporate clients.

Walmart launches tools that allow AI agents to shop on behalf of customers

Walmart launches tools that allow AI agents to shop on behalf of customers Customers will remain in control of purchases, and AI agents will not be allowed to access payment card data. "Reuters" Walmart launched new tools on Wednesday that allow AI agents to shop and complete transactions on behalf of customers, as part of the company's effort to entrench its position in the growing use of AI-powered assistants in e-commerce. This step confirms Walmart's orientation toward adopting AI-powered shopping, which contrasts with Amazon's approach of seeking to restrict external AI-powered shopping agents' access to its platform. Walmart said it will launch the agent profiles feature next month, enabling shoppers to delegate specific AI agents, track their purchases separately, and set a spending cap or require approval for each purchase. The retail company explained that customers will be able to monitor purchases made by AI agents separately from their own orders and cancel the agent's access at any time. The company also launched the Walmart agent gateway, a platform that allows AI assistants such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and Meta's Muse to connect directly to Walmart and Sam's Club systems to search for products and complete purchases. Walmart explained that customers will remain in control of purchases, AI agents will not be allowed to access payment card data, and they can be blocked if they violate the company's rules. The company said these tools will be available to all Walmart account holders and will not require membership in the Walmart+ program.

Walmart opens doors for AI agents that obey strict rules.

Walmart opens doors for AI agents that obey strict rules. By PYMNTS | October 21, 2026 Walmart has introduced three tools designed to let customers shop at Walmart and Sam's Club through their choice of apps and artificial intelligence (AI) agents. "Shopping with an agent won't be for everyone, and it doesn't have to be," the company said in a Wednesday (Oct. 21) press release. "But for customers who choose to use one, our goal is to make our experience the most trusted by building clear controls and protections into the experience from the start." Please add Money By Design to your preferred sources list so its news, data and interviews show up in your feed. Thanks! One new tool, which is set to launch in November, is Agent Profiles. This tool will enable customers to authorize each AI agent with a dedicated profile within their account so they can see the agent's purchases separately from their other purchases; determine whether they want to require approval for every purchase or give the agent permission to make purchases within a specified spending limit; and turn off those permissions at any time, according to the release. Another new tool, which is now in beta for companies and developers, is the Walmart Agent Gateway. This gateway will enable agents to shop by using a model text protocol (MCP) rather than a web browser. It will also help an agent shop for the user's usual purchases without giving the agent access to the customer's personal information or purchase history. Walmart also unveiled terms for AI agents, which establish rules that the agents must follow when shopping on behalf of a customer. The terms specify that, for example, agents must not take actions beyond what the customer intends, can't add or change a customer's payment methods and can only access the information needed for the task and allowed by the customer, per the release. "We've always worked to understand what customers need and make shopping easier for them," Walmart said in the release. "As customers begin using agents to help them shop, we're building connections, permissions and options that complement those tools and support how customers want to use them." PYMNTS reported Friday that retailers are responding differently to customers' adoption of AI shopping agents. For example, Amazon is blocking prominent outside agents, Target is permitting approved providers and Walmart is partnering with AI companies to attract customers. The PYMNTS Intelligence report "Will the 2026 Shopping Season Go Agentic?" found that merchants expect agentic commerce to become a paid sales channel, but many feel unprepared to connect with agents.

Walmart opens its doors to AI shopping bots as amazon locks them out.

Walmart opens its doors to AI shopping bots as amazon locks them out. Oct 21, 2026 Walmart launched Agent Profiles and the Walmart Agent Gateway to let customers authorize AI assistants to shop on their behalf across Walmart and Sam's Club. By combining customizable spending limits and privacy safeguards with standard return guarantees, the retailer is embracing agentic commerce while major competitors restrict AI bot access. Online shopping is taking a split turn as retail giants figure out how to handle AI assistants. Amazon keeps blocking third-party shopping bots like Perplexity and Meta's Muse, but Walmart is taking the exact opposite route. The retail giant just launched a set of features that let digital AI agents browse Walmart's online shelves and place orders directly for you. Setting budget caps and custom permissions. The main feature rolling out next month is called Agent Profiles, which works across both Walmart and Sam's Club accounts. You can link AI bots like ChatGPT or Gemini to your account and set strict spending limits or require manual approval before any purchase goes through. Walmart compares it to handing someone an authorized credit card with a set budget cap, so you always stay in complete control of your wallet. How the AI bot gateway protects your data, what happens if it orders the wrong item. Instead of making bots click through web pages designed for human eyes, Walmart built a dedicated Agent Gateway using Anthropic's Model Context Protocol. This direct connection lets the AI search inventory and checkout without getting stuck on tricky website buttons. It also protects your personal information, sharing basic preferences like your favorite brand of sourdough bread while not sharing your entire shopping history or your credit card numbers. Walmart also laid out strict ground rules to keep third-party bots from acting up on its platform. Assistants cannot change your payment methods or make unauthorized purchases. Walmart will instantly ban any bot that breaks the rules. If your AI makes a mistake and orders the wrong product, Walmart's standard return policy still covers the purchase, taking the anxiety out of testing new tech. Big retailer support for automated shopping. Speaking at the Masters of Scale Summit in San Francisco, Walmart CEO John Furner said the goal is to build a trusted experience as automated shopping becomes more common. The best part is that anyone with a standard Walmart account can use these tools without signing up for a paid Walmart+ membership. As Mizuho analyst David Bellinger told Reuters, seeing major retail leadership buy into this technology shows that AI-assisted shopping is rapidly turning into a real commercial trend.
