Wal-Mart Stores Inc is simplifying the return process through its smartphone app, aiming to ease a major hassle of shopping in time for the holiday season. 

Beginning in early November, shoppers will be able to initiate the return of items bought online via the retailer’s app before going to the store. Once there, they’ll move through a dedicated express lane to scan the products and hand them over.
