To use Apple Pay at a "Pay at Pump" gas station, look for the contactless symbol, then hold your iPhone or Apple Watch near the reader and authenticate with Face ID/Touch ID. Alternatively, use a gas station app (e.g., Shell, ExxonMobil) to select your pump, pay within the app, and authorize with Apple Pay.
Pay with your iPhone
Yes, you can use Apple Pay at many gas pumps by tapping your iPhone or Apple Watch on the contactless reader (look for the symbol), but acceptance varies by location, and some stations require using their specific mobile app (like ExxonMobil Rewards+ or Shell) linked to Apple Pay for at-the-pump payment. Major brands like Shell, BP, Chevron, and ExxonMobil generally support it, either directly at the pump or via their apps, offering a secure way to pay without physical cards.
The Shell App is the best way to pay and save, both in-store and at the pump. [Image of station dissolves, and phone shows Shell Pay & Save screen.] To pay for fuel at the pump, tap “Pay”. Then tap “Pay at the pump” and enter your pump number.
Yes, you can pay at the pump with your phone using NFC tap-to-pay (like Apple Pay/Google Pay) at compatible pumps or by using major brand apps (Shell, ExxonMobil, Phillips 66, etc.) that link to your digital wallet or bank for in-app payments, often via QR codes or pump numbers, offering contactless, convenient fueling from your car.
Don't use your mobile phone. If you drop your mobile phone, a spark can be produced when the batteries are knocked loose. This could be hazardous because of the flammable vapours produced by petrol products. If you need to make a call most service stations have a public pay phone.
No, you generally don't need to open the Wallet app to use Apple Pay; you can activate it by double-clicking the side or Home button, or sometimes just by holding your phone near the reader, followed by authentication (Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode) to pay quickly and securely. For transit and other passes, Express Mode allows payment without even waking or unlocking your device.
You have 2 ways to tap to pay in a store: Unlock your phone and hold it near the reader: You can tap the terminal when your phone is unlocked, even when the Google Wallet app is not open. If prompted, use your Android screen lock to verify the payment.

How secure is Apple Pay? Apple Pay is safer than using a physical credit, debit, or prepaid card. Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode is required for purchases on your iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac, or iPad. Your identity isn't shared with merchants, and they don't see your actual card number.
No, Apple Pay and Apple Wallet aren't the same, but they work together: Apple Wallet is the app (your digital container) that stores your credit/debit cards, loyalty cards, tickets, and passes, while Apple Pay is the technology/service that uses those cards in the Wallet to make secure, contactless payments in stores, online, and in apps. Think of the Wallet as your physical purse and Pay as the tap-to-pay function.
How to use Apple Pay online or in apps
Yes, many gas pumps accept Apple Pay through tap-to-pay (NFC) or via the station's app, with major brands like Shell, BP, Exxon, Chevron, and 7-Eleven offering support, though it depends on the specific location having the right contactless hardware or app integration. Look for the contactless/Apple Pay symbol on the pump, or check if the station's app (like Shell App or BPme) allows linking Apple Pay for payment.
Risk of incendive sparking - Mobile phones are not designed and certified for use in explosive atmospheres which exist temporarily around the pump and nozzle during refuelling as well as around the fill and vent pipes during petrol deliveries.
Tap is safe and easy
How it works: Tap your card or phone on the reader at the pump to begin your transaction. Payment methods include major credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Maximum payment accepted is $100.
Using Google Pay in store and other places
1. Unlock your phone 2. Hold the back of your phone close to the payment terminal • If your payment is successful – you'll see a blue check mark on the screen • If your payment is unsuccessful – try holding your phone in a different way.
What payment methods can I use when paying for fuel on my phone via Pay at Pump? You can use PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa Checkout and you can add Visa and Mastercard debit/credit cards directly to the app.
Use Contactless or Mobile Payment
Tap-to-pay options like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay offer better protection through encryption. If you must insert a card, select "credit" instead of entering a debit PIN.
