Paypal Develops App with Petrol Station Chain
Best Practice
PayPal and the petrol station chain Cumberland Farms recently teamed up to develop an app that enables users to both pay for their petrol and get discounts on it.
Without having to leave the driver’s seat, customers can pay and earn themselves a 5-cent price reduction on each gallon. After setting up a PayPal account, users can drive to a participating Cumberland Farms station and the app will detect their petrol pump via GPS.
The payment is then made automatically via PayPal and the customers get their receipts by e-mail.
