Shell has launched Shell S Pay, a mobile payment option in the Shell app.

After downloading the Shell app, customers can link their Shell Fuel Rewards account and link their checking account.

Through the end of the year, consumers can earn an extra 25 cents per gallon after their first fillup using Shell S Pay. After that, they will save 10 cents a gallon on every additional fillup paid for using Shell S Pay.

  • Shell is No. 45 on CSP’s 2023 Top 202 ranking of U.S. convenience-store chains by total number of company-owned retail outlets.

The company saw an opportunity to connect consumer desire for mobile payments with its goal of building and retaining its loyalty base, Shell said.

Shell serves about 8 million customers per day with a brand presence at approximately 12,000 gas stations across 49 states. It owns and operates nearly 200 convenience-store retail sites. Globally, London-based Shell serves around 32 million customers per day at its mobility sites, who visit for quality fuels, electric vehicle (EV) charging and convenience and non-fuel products and services.
