The old days of swiping a credit card at a gas pump are slowly disappearing. Although that is still an option, many places support tap to pay with phones. Despite this, there's an even newer feature that lets you pay from your car.
Touch to pay with NFC is still relatively new for gas stations, but this method is already being overcome. A growing number of locations truly support your ability to pay from an app in the comfort of your car. Just enter your pump number and you are ready to start pumping..
There are several different applications that you can use to do this.. Service station chains that support the function have their own applications. Despite this, Google Pay, which is enabled for iPhone and Android, combine a couple of these into a single interface. We will show you how to use the function.
Google payment
The Google Pay app is for much more than mobile payments. Can be used to order food, split bills with friends, track your spending habits and much more. Uno de esos “plus” es pagar la gasolina.
RELATED: What is Google Pay and what can be done with it?
Open the Google Pay app on your iPhone O Android device. En la pestaña principal “Pay”, scroll down and select “Obtener gasolina”.
Next, select one of the member gas stations. You can touch the directions icon to launch Google Maps and navigate to the location. Despite this, if you are already at the gas station, will be automatically detected and opened.
When I'm at the gas station, you will be asked to select your pump number. Desplácese por los números hasta que haya seleccionado su bomba y posteriormente toque “Continue”.
Una página de confirmación le pedirá que confirme el número de su bomba y toque “Continuar con el pago”.
Next, you will need to unlock Google Pay with your password, PIN, fingerprint or other screen lock method.
Now you can choose your payment method, which will be one of the methods you have already added to the Google Pay app. Touch “Continue” después de haber realizado su selección.
La bomba tardará unos segundos en “activarse”. Thereafter, the screen will say your pump is ready. Now you can get out of your car, select a fuel grade and start pumping.
Once you're done pumping, a notification will appear telling you how much you just spent. La transacción además aparecerá en su “Recent activity” in the tab “Information”.
That's all about it!
Own gas station applications
If your local service station does not appear in the Google Pay search engine, or if you simply prefer not to use the Google service, many service stations have their own applications for the same purpose.
The procedure for using these proprietary gas station applications will be remarkably similar. You will need to create an account and provide a payment method, like a credit card. When I get to the gas station, the app will ask you to enter the pump number you are on.
Here are some of the most popular gas station chains in the U.S.. UU. That support payments with applications:
Paying for gas has never been easier. The days of playing with your wallet or touching a phone are over. If you are looking to save time or limit touch points, this is a great feature to start using. Check if your frequent gas stops are compatible!
