When you’re using your WIC card at the Walmart self-checkout, make sure to follow these steps. First, scan the WIC items separately from your other groceries. Then, enter your WIC PIN number when prompted. After that, the WIC items will be deducted from your balance and you can pay for the rest of your groceries as usual. Remember, WIC cards are not accepted for online purchases and cannot be used to purchase non-food items.

- Remove Receipt: Once the transaction is complete, remove the receipt from the self-checkout kiosk.
