To be able to use the new Shell PayPal service users need to register their device following the instructions via the link below and download the Shell app. Once complete the service then allows drivers to fill up and pay for their petrol using a link to their PayPal account.

To this end, the “Fill-Up & Go” app instructs the user to stay in their vehicle while carrying out the payment process, and to leave the mobile in the auto while they are filling the tank.
Fill Up & Go was created in response to motorists’ desire for a more convenient payment experience, as mentioned by Shell’s retail marketing manager Michael Hominick.
Once there, customers open the app and choose how much they want to spend, before scanning a giant QR code next to the pump which will activate it for use.
Shell and PayPal have been testing the app since 2013, and began offering the service to Shell Drivers Club members in April.
It can also serve as a safety feature where you can go out at night and make a payment via PayPal and safely leave your wallet/purse at home, so should anyone try to rob you, they’d basically make away with your wallet at most. Now it can will be offered at hundreds of Shell petrol stations across the country to buy all types of fuel.
The app will then confirm the purchase and email the user a receipt.

“When you next want to fill up at a Shell station, simply drive into the forecourt and stop at your selected pump”, Shell UK explains. You can also see how you can redeem your loyalty points.
