  • Publication number: 20220267137
    Abstract: In one aspect, data characterizing a session during which fuel is to be dispensed from a fuel dispenser can be received from the fuel dispenser and by a client device of a user of the fuel dispenser. A fuel dispensing parameter characterizing an operational parameter of the fuel dispenser can be received at a field of a graphical interface displayed on the client device. A token characterizing a credential associated with the user for initializing the dispensing of the fuel during the session can be determined. An initialization of the dispensing of the fuel from the fuel dispenser can be authorized based on the determined token and the received fuel dispensing parameter.
