Siri comes to Walmart for online grocery

Walmart has partnered with Apple to make voice ordering of groceries available via Siri, the tech giant’s virtual assistant.

Called the Siri Shortcut for Online Grocery, the service brings Walmart Voice Order functionality to the Apple platform, including mobile and smart home devices as well as car applications. Apple users can now tell Siri to add items to their Walmart Online Grocery cart by saying the words, according to Walmart.

To place grocery orders via Siri, customers open the Walmart Grocery App and click on “voice shopping” in their account page. Next, they pair their Walmart account with the new Siri Shortcut and then ask Siri to start adding items to their Walmart Online Grocery cart. To select items, shoppers say “add to Walmart” and then name the product they want. Customers then place their order, and Walmart personal shoppers pick and pack their groceries for pickup or home delivery.
