All-in-One Gas Station Apps

The New Sunoco App Handles Payment, Rewards and More

— December 27, 2018 — Tech
The new Sunoco app has been unveiled by the gas station brand that aims to provide consumers with an all-in-one functionality that will handle everything they need when stopping to fuel up.

The app packs pay-at-pump and pay-in-store functionalities that are compatible for use with Apple Pay, Google Pay and all major credit cards to streamline payment. Users will be greeted with a customized digital storefront that can be augmented by individual store managers to highlight promotions, additional offers and much more.


The Sunoco app will also handle reward points to prevent shoppers from needing to keep an additional card on hand or open another app to complete their purchase. The app will be launched at over 1,000 locations across the US thanks to the success of a pilot program that took place in Spring 2018.
