- Enable Digital Payment for issued Shell card: The initial step is to create digital token (DPAN) for a Shell Card and link it with a unique identifier on a partner side. This identifier may represent user, car or any internal ID used by the partner.
- Locate Fuel Station: Digital payment transaction starts with locating a user at a Shell Fuel Station.
- Prepare for Fuelling: Once a location is established it will be possible to unlock a pump for refuelling. In order to unlock a pump, the B2B Partner will need to send: details of the B2B Entity (i.e. Customer/Vehicle Registration/Contract ID) so that the relevant Shell Card can be found/used; the station the Customer is located at; and the pump that the Customer wishes to use. If the call is successful, the relevant pump will be unlocked and ready to use.
-
Finalise Transaction: Once the Customer returns the nozzle to the pump the pump will trigger the creation of a formal transaction based on the amount of fuel dispensed. A confirmation will be sent from Shell to the B2B Partner
