Can I pay with the app?
'App' — same as English: 'app'. In Italian it is feminine: 'l'app'.
Ask when you have the fuel chain's app on your phone and want to use it for cashless payment directly at the pump.
'Pagare con l'app' means 'to pay with the app'. Many Italian fuel chains (ENI, IP, Q8) have apps that allow direct pump payment without going to a cashier — the app selects the pump, you fuel up, and the app charges your card.

App-based fuelling is growing rapidly in Italy. Eni, Q8, and IP all have apps with GPS-based station locators, price comparison, and direct pump payment. Using them often offers a small per-litre discount versus cash.
