Faster mobile payments at Shell are scheduled to be available later this year through apps on Android and iOS smartphones
Shell has partnered with PayPal with plans to be the first fuels retailer in the UK to offer a mobile payment solution at pumps nationwide.
Shell will be the first fuel station to offer a mobile payment option at its pumps and the service will launch in April, initially to Shell Drivers’ Club customers, and then to everybody else later in the year.
Faster mobile payments at Shell are scheduled to be available later this year through apps on Android and iOS smartphones. The service will allow customers to pay for their fuel using just their mobile without leaving their car.
Consumers will be able to use the service through either the Shell Motorist app or the PayPal app. After driving into the forecourt the customer selects the corresponding pump on the app. The app then authenticates the transaction and the customer can then fill up and go.
When refuelling is complete a receipt is automatically sent through to the phone, allowing the customer to drive away knowing the transaction was a success.
