View full FAQ If you are looking to know how to use Apple Pay at Gas Stations, this guide will walk you through the steps and provide some helpful information on what gas stations support Apple Pay. You don’t want to spend a lot of time at a gas station. And Apple Pay does help you achieve that by speeding up the process to pay for the gas. It not only saves time, but is also quite convenient, once you get the hang of it. First things first, Apple Pay is accepted at all major gas stations that include Shell, Costco, Chevron, Exxon, Wawa, Arco, etc. Apple Pay works using NFC technology. So all gas stations accepting Apple Pay will have the “Tap to Pay” symbols displayed on the gas pumps (Apple Pay logo or the NFC Wi-Fi symbol) However, you may run into gas pumps that do not provide the Apple Pay option. This is more to do with the local pump owner than the company. To pay with Apple Pay at the gas station, hold your iPhone near the NFC reader at the pump (Wi-Fi/NFC symbol) that will launch the Apple Wallet automatically, authenticate yourself using touch id or face id, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the payment. An alternative way you can explore that works for some gas stations that have their own app – Download the respective Gas Station App (where supported) on your mobile, then add Apple Pay as the payment method in the app and complete the payment on mobile itself. Let’s see the detailed steps to do this.
Way 1: Using the NFC reader at the Gas Pump
This works for all gas stations accepting Apple Pay. Way 2: Using Apple Pay as the payment method in the Gas Station AppThere is another method that works at certain gas stations where you can complete the payment using the gas company app. Many companies have their own apps which you can use to fill the gas and make the payment- like Exon Mobile Rewards+ App, Shell Speedway App (using Pay at the Pump), BPme: BP & Amoco Gas Rewards App. For this, download the app for the gas company where you will fuel on your phone, complete the sign-up, add Apple Pay as a payment method in the app and then complete the payment in-app at the station, without having to use the NFC reader on the gas pump. Exxon and BP have apps that allow them to use ApplePay within the app. The Exxon app allows you to scan a QR code at the pump. Using Apple Pay at Exxon Gas Station [App Method]
It will automatically charge your card the correct amount after you’re done filling up. Using Apple Pay at Shell Gas Station [App Method]Shell Pay at Pump is a mobile fuel payment feature available in Shell App. Using this, you can pay for fuel using your mobile quickly from your car without needing to use the reader at the gas pump. It is available at most Shell stations. Follow the steps below to use Apple Pay within the Shell app to make payment at a gas station:
Using Apple Pay at Chevron Gas Station [Normal Method]You can use Apple Pay by the normal method by holding your iPhone or Apple watch near the Apple Pay Logo or NFC symbol on the gas pump. While Chevron does have its own app, it, unfortunately, does not allow Apple pay to be added as a payment method as of now. Using Apple Pay at the BP Gas Station [App Method]You can use Apple Pay at a BP gas station using their app. Download the BPme Rewards gas app on your iPhone, open the gas app and & add “Apple Pay” as a payment method. You can check-in at participating BP or Amoco gas stations on the app, once you enter the gas station, select your fuel pump from the comfort of your car. Also, remember that some of the gas stations require you to pay with your debit card when you use Apple Pay. For example, most ARCO gas stations accept Apple Pay only when a debit card is used. Take into account the hold charges when paying with Apple Pay (using Apple Cash or Debit Card) at Gas StationWhile using Apple pay at a gas station using the scan method, you may choose to use Apple Cash as a payment method, instead of a linked credit card. While this method works well, do note that you have sufficient balance in your Apple Cash account to cover any hold charge. This can even the case, if you choose to pay with your bank debit card or Apple Cash balance. Hold charge is an estimated amount (usually up to $150) that gets debited to check if you have an adequate balance in your Card or Apple Pay wallet, since the amount of gas is not known beforehand. It puts a temporary charge on for an amount that can be much higher than fuel you have filled. This hold charge gets reversed later and only the amount payable for the fuel is actually debited.
