Walmart could be working on a paid membership program to compete with Amazon Prime. The retail giant has been working on Walmart+ for 18 months, Vox reported Thursday. Walmart+ could be tested publicly next month, according to Vox citing unnamed sources, and would be a rebranding of the store's $98 a year Delivery Unlimited program for grocery shopping.
The Walmart+ service could also include text messaging to place orders at stores, Vox reported.
Walmart previously rolled out a similar program called ShippingPass, which it canceled three years ago, in January 2017. ShippingPass offered unlimited two-day shipments on Walmart.com for $49 annually.
Walmart didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
