ExxonMobil rolls out tap-to-pay App Clip feature at gas pumps

ExxonMobil has added another way to pay at the pump with new App Clips, allowing users to pay for gasoline through the rewards app with Apple Pay.

Paying at the pump just got easier, as ExxonMobil has begun rolling out a new tap-to-pay feature at its pumps. By utilizing an NFC sticker, iPhone users can tap their phone on the gas pump and use App Clips to pay when refueling their cars at ExxonMobil gas stations.

The App Clip allows a customer to pay via Apple Pay without needing to first download the Exxon Mobil app — perfect for unexpected stops or when you're in a rush.

If a customer already owns the Exxon Mobil Rewards+ app, the App Clip sticker will launch the app, allowing them to earn rewards for the purchase, according to Digital Transactions.

App Clips rolled out with iOS 14, and are mini versions of apps that you don't need to download to use. In a way, they're just web-based versions of many apps you already know and love. App Clips can be accessed in many different ways — through Apple Maps, websites, and even Messages.

Well, I’ll find out for myself soon enough but I have a question: will I still have to use the interface on the pump to 1) tap “yes”
or “no” to the debit card question then 2) enter my zip code then 3) decline a car wash before I’m allowed to pump gas? My local Mobil station accepts Apple Pay (which I love) at the pump but I still have to interact with the pump. I don’t get it since none of those things are necessary at the grocery store across the street where I use Apple Pay.

Similar issues. I can't use the BP rewards app with my debit card because it doesn't let you apply the Debit/Cash discount. Only processes as a credit card.
So, I still have to swipe my card to select Debit to save $0.10/gallon.

Interesting. I don’t recall having to interact with the screen at the pump at all when I’ve used the app to pay. Could just be that I’ve not been going to stations that have the car wash option but I’m very sure I’ve not had to select credit vs debit or any other questions. I wonder if it has to do with using Apple Card with Apple Pay. Are you using an Apple Card account?

I use the ExxonMobil app quite regularly. Seeing this is just a mini web version, it will likely work the same way. With the app, if a gas station offers a car wash it shows as an option to select - no pump interaction. The app also asks if you want a digital, paper or both receipt. So if you select digital only the only touching at the pump is for selecting grade of fuel and the pump handle.
