The PYMNTS Intelligence report “2025 Global Digital Shopping Index” found that 92% of consumers said they were highly satisfied with their curbside pickup experiences.

The report found that 10.2% of consumers surveyed in 2024 said they completed their most recent retail purchase via curbside or in-store pickup.

“Shopping is becoming increasingly digital, as consumers gravitate toward the convenience of digital shopping features no matter where they are,” the report said.

PYMNTS reported in July that Walmart continues to invest in connected shopping capabilities such as curbside pickup, Walmart+, its marketplace and OnePay. All of these services could help reconnect routine shopping trips with higher-value purchases over time, the report said.

Walmart announced in April 2025 that as it remodeled stores, it was expanding online pickup and delivery “to fulfill the growing number of online customer orders.”
