Step-by-step help

Common Shell problems

These procedures focus on normal customer actions. Do not open dispensers, bypass safety systems, or attempt internal equipment repairs.

Shell

Pump will not activate

Use the pump screen and payment status to separate a card/authorization problem from a dispenser problem.

  1. Read the prompt and note the pump number.
  2. Try the station’s normal payment flow once; avoid repeated transactions when the first attempt is uncertain.
  3. If authorization succeeds but the dispenser stays inactive, ask station staff to reset or inspect the pump.
  4. Keep any receipt, error message, or app transaction record.
Shell

Shell App pay-at-pump issue

Shell documents a pay-at-pump flow that uses the app to choose the pump and confirm the payment method.

  1. Open the Shell App while parked safely.
  2. Use the Pay at the pump option and enter the displayed pump number.
  3. Follow the app’s verification instructions and wait for the authorization to complete.
  4. If the pump does not activate, check whether the app shows a completed or failed transaction before trying again.
Shell

Fuel Rewards or receipt missing

Use the app transaction history and the station receipt before assuming the transaction disappeared.

  1. Check the app’s transaction or receipt history.
  2. Compare the station location, time, pump and amount.
  3. For missing rewards, keep the receipt and use the official Shell Fuel Rewards support route.
  4. Do not send full card details or account passwords through an unsolicited message.
Shell

EV charging problem

Shell says its app can locate chargers, show status, start charging and manage receipts for Shell Recharge.

  1. Confirm the connector type and charger status.
  2. Follow the charger’s on-screen or app instructions.
  3. Do not start multiple paid sessions when the first session status is unclear.
  4. Use the charger’s displayed support contact for operator-side faults or a pending transaction.
