Altoona-based Sheetz now says it will enable digital currency payments via Flexa, the pure-digital payments network, which will allow customers to pay for items or fill up their gas tanks using digital currency. Sheetz will begin accepting digital currencies at select Sheetz Café Stores later this summer, with a planned rollout to Sheetz’s fuel pumps scheduled for later this year. Sheetz currently operates 622 stores in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, and Maryland. Sheetz customers will also be able to link their My Sheetz Rewardz accounts to the Flexa-enabled apps. Sheetz will work with NCR, its point-of-sale technology provider, to seamlessly enable Flexa’s instant, fraud-proof authorization process for digital currency payments. The partnership between the three companies marks the first time digital currencies have been accepted for convenience store purchases and expands the utility of digital currency use for everyday purchases.
