Sheetz Expands Payment Options with Cryptocurrency
Convenience store giant Sheetz has expanded its payment options significantly by now accepting multiple cryptocurrencies at all its U.S. outlets. Alongside this adoption, the chain is offering a remarkable promotion: customers can enjoy a 50% discount on their purchases made with digital currencies during specific hours each day.
Details of the Cryptocurrency Integration
Operating over 750 locations across multiple states including Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland, Sheetz processes these cryptocurrency transactions through a collaboration with the digital payment network, Flexa. This allows customers to make payments by scanning a QR code at either the checkout or fuel pumps, using wallets that are compatible with Flexa.
To mitigate the inherent volatility of cryptocurrencies, these transactions are converted to U.S. dollars immediately, ensuring that Sheetz avoids potential losses and benefits from reduced processing costs relative to traditional credit card transactions.
Promotional Offer Details
The promotional offer not only applies to fuel purchases but also extends to snacks and freshly prepared food items. This discount is valid daily from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time, and the participating cryptocurrencies include well-known digital assets like bitcoin, ether, litecoin, dogecoin, and USDC.
The discount will be automatically applied to transactions at eligible stores with no transaction limits specified, although standard promotional conditions are still applicable.
Background and Future Outlook
Sheetz initially tested its venture into cryptocurrencies at select locations back in 2021, starting with fuel transactions before gradually expanding to encompass in-store purchases. By late 2024, all Sheetz locations had adopted cryptocurrency payments, while the “Crypto Crave & Save” promotion, a limited-time initiative, debuted in early August 2025.
Experts in the retail sector view this initiative as a major advancement toward cryptocurrency integration in everyday shopping, especially for a company boasting an annual revenue of over $6.2 billion. Consumer interest in digital payment solutions has been a driving force for Sheetz’s strategy to embrace this evolving trend.
For customers eager to take part in this new payment method, they simply need to download a compatible cryptocurrency wallet, load it with funds, and scan the QR code during the designated promotional hours. In addition, Sheetz previously encouraged new cryptocurrency users with an initial $20 discount offer.
