A prompt to build your own version of Walmart

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Walmart-style app, first version

Build an iPhone app for my own store selling groceries and everyday goods, with delivery or pickup. The main screen should show product categories, a search bar, and product cards with photos, prices, and an Add button. Tapping a product opens its details. Let shoppers open the cart, change quantities, and remove items. At checkout, let them choose delivery and enter an address, or choose pickup and see the store location. Place a sample order and show a confirmation with the chosen option. Use a clean white design with green accents, clear prices, and large buttons. Include realistic sample products across groceries, household supplies, and personal care. Keep checkout simulated for this first version.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.

What a homemade Walmart won't have

Walmart gives shoppers access to its stocked stores, supplier deals and physical delivery network, not just software for placing orders.

  • Walmart's stocked stores
  • Walmart's supplier agreements
  • Walmart's distribution centers
  • Walmart's delivery driver network
