How to Download the Wawa App

The Wawa app is free and available on both major mobile platforms:

• iPhone/iPad: Download from the Apple App Store. Search for “Wawa” — the official app has a red Wawa goose logo.
• Android: Download from the Google Play Store. Same search — look for the official red goose icon.

The app requires iOS 15 or later for iPhone and Android 8.0 or later for Android devices. It’s a lightweight app that doesn’t take up much storage space.

Setting Up Your Account

After downloading, you’ll need to create a Wawa account or sign in if you already have one. The setup process takes about 2 minutes:

1. Open the app and tap “Create Account” or “Sign In.”
2. Enter your name, email address, phone number, and ZIP code.
3. Create a password (minimum 8 characters).
4. Optionally add your birthday for a free birthday reward.
5. Accept the terms and conditions.

Your app account is the same as your Wawa Rewards account. If you’ve already registered for Wawa Rewards online or in-store, sign in with the same credentials and your points balance will sync automatically.

For a detailed walkthrough of registration, see our Wawa Rewards registration guide.

Mobile Ordering

Mobile ordering is the app’s most valuable feature. It lets you place your order from anywhere and have it ready when you arrive at the store.

How to Place a Mobile Order

1. Open the app and tap “Order” or the ordering icon.
2. Select your pickup store from the map or your saved favorites.
3. Browse the menu and build your order — the interface mirrors the in-store touchscreen with full customization options.
4. Add items to your cart. You can order multiple items in a single order.
5. Review your order and tap “Checkout.”
6. Pay through the app using a saved credit/debit card, Wawa gift card, or Apple Pay/Google Pay.
7. Receive a confirmation with an estimated pickup time.
8. Go to the store and pick up your order at the deli counter — it’s waiting for you.

Benefits of Mobile Ordering

• Skip the kiosk line. During the lunch rush, the touchscreen kiosks can have short waits. Mobile ordering bypasses them entirely.
• Your order is ready when you arrive. Place your order 10-15 minutes before arriving and your food will be freshly made and waiting.
• Save favorite orders. Reorder your go-to hoagie or coffee with a single tap.
• Full customization. The app offers the same customization as the in-store touchscreen — bread, protein, toppings, sauces, and extras.
• Automatic rewards. Points are earned automatically on mobile orders since your Rewards account is linked to the app.

If you’re new to ordering at Wawa, our how to order at Wawa guide covers the in-store kiosk process as well.

Wawa Rewards in the App

The app is the easiest way to manage your Wawa Rewards membership:

• Check your points balance on the home screen.
• View available rewards — see which free items you’ve unlocked.
• Scan to earn points. At the register, open the app and tap the “Scan” button to display your rewards barcode. The cashier scans it before you pay. Learn how to scan at the gas pump too.
• Redeem rewards. When you have an available reward, the app displays it. Show it to the cashier to redeem, or apply it during mobile ordering. See our tips for using Wawa Rewards.
• Track your history. View past transactions and points earned.

Store Locator

The app includes a built-in store locator that uses your phone’s GPS to find nearby Wawa locations. Features include:

• Map view and list view of nearby stores
• Store hours and available services (fuel, ATM, mobile ordering)
• Directions integration with your phone’s maps app
• The ability to save favorite locations for quick access

For more ways to find Wawa locations, see our Wawa store locator guide.

Digital Wallet and Payment

The app supports multiple payment methods:

• Credit and debit cards — Save cards for quick checkout on mobile orders.
• Wawa gift cards — Add gift card balances to the app and pay directly from your gift card.
• Apple Pay / Google Pay — Supported for mobile order payments.
• Apple Wallet — Add your Wawa Rewards card to Apple Wallet for quick scanning at the register without opening the app.

Deals and Promotions

The app occasionally features exclusive deals and promotions not available in-store:

• App-only coupons. Discounts on specific items or categories, available only to app users.
• Bonus points events. Earn extra Wawa Rewards points on certain purchases during promotional periods.
• New item previews. Sometimes seasonal items are available for mobile ordering before they appear on in-store kiosks.
• Birthday reward. The app delivers your free birthday beverage (coffee, fountain drink, or ICEE) automatically during your birthday month.

Tips for Getting the Most from the Wawa App

• Enable notifications. The app sends alerts about new deals, bonus point events, and seasonal menu launches. These notifications can save you money.
• Save your favorite orders. If you get the same coffee or hoagie regularly, save it as a favorite for one-tap reordering.
• Add your Rewards to Apple/Google Wallet. This lets you scan for points even faster — no need to open the app at the register.
• Order ahead during rush hours. Place your lunch order at 11:00 AM and pick it up at 11:30 AM to skip the busiest period.
• Check the app before visiting. New seasonal items and promotions are often featured on the app’s home screen before in-store signage goes up.
• Use it at the pump. The app’s rewards barcode works at gas pump scanners too. Scan before fueling to earn points on gas purchases.
