General Motors and Shell have teamed up for a first-of-its-kind partnership that will give drivers the ability to pay for gas through an "embedded, in-dash" marketplace at stations across the United States.

The two say in a joint news release that Shell-branded stations stateside are accepting payments from the in-dash GM Marketplace as of Thursday, Aug. 16. Those who drive certain Chevrolet, Buick, GMC or Cadillacs can find the "Shell Pay & Save" on the GM Marketplace.

Scroll to the bottom of this article for a full list of eligible GM vehicles that a spokesperson provided to MLive on Thursday.

"Customers using this payment option will simply make a few selections on the vehicle's touchscreen and a three-digit code will be generated that allows the user to activate a specific pump and start fueling," the joint news release reads.

"The amount due is then automatically charged to the customer's payment method of choice, be that credit or debit or directly to their checking account."

The two companies tout this feature by saying all of this can be done without swiping a credit card, going inside, using a cellphone all while still automatically receiving their shell fuel rewards.

The feature is another added use to GM's in-vehicle Marketplace platform, which allows drivers -- or passengers -- to order food, coffee, make reservations, among others.

GM introduced the platform in December 2017, and said that some brands signed up to participate in the feature were Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, Wingstop, TGI Fridays, Shell, ExxonMobil, Priceline.com, Applebee's, IHOP, delivery.com and Parkopedia.

Santiago Chamorro, GM's vice president of Global Connected Customer Experience, said in December 2017 that the GM Marketplace would continue to roll out in the following 12 to 18 months, and that it would be available to about 4 million U.S.-based drivers.

For those worried about yet another technological feature being added to a vehicle with distracted driving still an issue, GM says it designed the feature to cutback on manual interactions and will work in a way that helps keep drivers focused on driving and not other tasks.
