November 5, 2018

Convenience store giant 7-Eleven is testing a mobile app called Scan & Pay that allows customers to skip the line and pay for purchases with the 7-Eleven mobile app, which already is used as part of the 7Rewards loyalty program, according to a release.

The pilot program has launched in 14 Dallas-area stores and works on iOS and Android mobile platforms. The app can be used for all purchases, except those requiring proof of age, such a lottery tickets, cigarettes, alcohol as well as hot foods and financial services.

Customers can also pay for purchases with Google Pay, Apple Pay or regular credit or debit cards. The chain previously announced the acceptance of the mobile payment platforms in September.

The chain said it tested the app at its Store Support Center, before adding the pilot program. The company plans to roll out the app nationwide in 2019.
