“We will then roll out the discount to more than one million of the most popular items by the end of June,” Walmart said on its website.

According to the announcement posted on Walmart's website, "Customers shop an item notated with "Pickup Discount" on Walmart.com and ship to their local store for pick up. These shoppers will then receive a discount based on each individual item."
