Walmart shoppers across the US are dealing with a tech glitch thats left customers unable to check out.
Reports of outages started flooding Reddit on Wednesday afternoon, with users from states including Texas, Arizona, Missouri, and New York flagging issues on the main Walmart app.
The company’s website and online stores for it’s Sam’s Club warehouse locations reportedly isn’t faring much better.
According to outage tracker DownDetector, reports spiked sharply around 2:25PM ET, going from a small trickle and ballooning to more than 3,600 alerts every five minutes.
‘It’s company wide,’ one Redditor, who reported to be a Walmart employee, said on the social media app.
‘They’ve got every IT person working on it right now.’
Online shopping, affected by the outage, accounts for an ever-increasing amount of Walmart’s sales.
In fact, $18 in every $100 spent at Walmart is doine online — a clear sign that more shoppers are relying on its website and app to make purchases.
The company recently launched a series of Easter-related sales with bargain basement deals.
Select Easter meals are priced below $6 per person and children’s easter baskets are priced below $20.
The company offered all of its Easter deals through one-click ordering, same-day pickup, and Express Delivery: all of its most-popular online services.
Walmart didn’t immediately respond to DailyMail.com’s request for comment.
