Walmart to lower prices on a million online-only items if you opt for store pickup over shipping

Walmart.com is preparing to launch a new feature called “Pickup Discount” that will lower the prices on up to one million online-only items if the customer chooses to pick up their order at a local store instead of opting for shipping. The feature is said to be inspired by the Smart Cart technology developed by Jet.com, the e-commerce startup Walmart acquired for $3 billion last year.
