Final Thoughts
Indeed, the 7-11 CLiQQ app makes payments and money transfers more convenient. This app is ideal to use if there's a 7-Eleven store just a few blocks away from your home, and you don't have a credit card or debit card. It's because unlike other mobile payment apps, CLiQQ app users still have to go to a 7-Eleven to complete their payment.
If you're worried about going out, don't fret. 7-Eleven stores have health protocols in place, like rubbing alcohol at the entrance and plastic divider at the counter to implement social distancing. Lines are also usually short, especially at stores located within a neighborhood.
