Spinx Plans Smartphone Gasoline Payment Option

New app to be made available soon should allow quicker, easier gasoline payment, the Greenville-based chain says.

Greenville-based Spinx Co. plans to offer customers an app this year that will allow them to pay for their gasoline purchases via their smartphones, the company said.

Spinx is set to deploy NCR ConvenienceGo (C-Go) mobile shopping technology to make fueling and shopping at the chain of convenience stores easier. Spinx, which operates 69 stores in North Carolina and South Carolina, will roll out C-Go to 57 of its stores soon, the company said.

“Spinx is always looking for new and technologically advanced ways to make our customers’ lives easier,” Steve Spinks, president and CEO of The Spinx Co., said in a news release. “We’re looking forward to launching the new Spinx Xtras app which will provide our loyal customers with a more convenient method for redeeming gas discounts and paying for the purchase, all through the use of their mobile phones.”

C-Go is a mobile shopping app, which allows shoppers to initiate a fuel transaction, select the amount of gas they want, and pay with their smartphones. 

The mobile technology will be customized to match Spinx’s brand image, colors and unique guidelines, the company said. C-Go also eliminates the need for shoppers to carry a key-fob loyalty card since the C-Go app updates and stores each shopper’s loyalty information and passes that information to the fuel pump automatically. This allows shoppers to easily get any loyalty discounts or other benefits they are entitled to receive, the company said.
