How to Check if a Gas Station Accepts Apple Pay
-
There are a few ways to check if a gas station accepts Apple Pay. While many major gas station chains accept Apple Pay, some of them don't accept it at every location. You also may be curious if a smaller, local gas station accepts Apple Pay. You can check if a gas station accepts Apple Pay in one of the following ways:
- Check beforehand with Apple Maps. Search Apple Pay to see gas stations nearby that accept Apple Pay. You can also search for a specific gas station and scroll down to the "Good to Know" section. If you see the Apple Pay logo and it says "contactless payments," that location accepts Apple Pay.
- Look for contactless payment symbols near the register or on the gas station's front door. One of the symbols is an oval with a hand holding a credit card, and the other is the Apple symbol with the word "Pay." [1] X Research source
- Ask the cashier at the checkout if the gas station accepts Apple Pay. You can also call ahead of time to ask if the location accepts Apple Pay.
