How to grow your payments app with fuel stations and roadside fuel sellers

Independent fuel stations and roadside fuel sellers serve taxi drivers, motorbike riders, truckers and everyday motorists, many of them several times a week. Payments are quick and frequent, much of the money is cash, and the station has to pay the fuel supplier for every delivery. Many also run a small shop, a car wash or a tyre stand on the same site. A payments app that lets drivers pay by phone at the pump, keeps a clear record of the day's takings and lets the owner pay suppliers can win these stations, and every driver who fills up sees your app.

Take payment at the pump
A QR code at each pump lets drivers pay by phone in seconds, so attendants handle less cash and queues move faster.

Offer accounts for fleets
Taxi firms, delivery companies and bus operators can top up an account or pay one payment link for all their drivers' fuel, which saves both sides time.
Grow through drivers
Drivers fill up often and talk to each other. When their regular station takes your app, they start using it for fares, parts and repairs too.
