It may depend on the station, but the two I've tried in Florida gave me the credit price even though I was using a Shell gift card. It's annoying since the Fuel Rewards app shows the lowest (cash) price. The GasBuddy app isn't clear about it but at least now it seems to default to the credit price and gives you a slider to show the cash price. In my opinion, it needs to clearly indicate which stations give lower cash prices.

I tried to use Shell gift card at two stations, both gave me credit card price. I live in SoCal.

Varies by station. I pass 2 Shells in my regular travels. One charges cash price and other charges credit price. Your best bet is to try to use a station that charges the same price for cash/credit or get $10 worth of gas and see what price you get charged.

in-store pick-up of gift cards sounds risky .... they activate the gift cards and put those back in shelf until you arrive ???

I used to ONLY fill up at Shell, but they are one of the highest priced here in CA, and have been for the duration on the pandemic, so I ditched them. This is basically a gallon of fuel for free, but for what you're paying there you may as well go somewhere else and save even more.
FYI The T-Mobile Tuesdays Shell deal got WAY worse this year. It used to be 10¢ off, plus the normal silver or gold discounts of 3¢ or 5¢, and I believe good all week, or at least until Sunday night, then they cut it to had to be used by Friday night...
2022 Tuesdays: You get free Gold Status for three months, so 5¢ off, and then an additional 5¢ off, that MUST be used, on Tuesday.
A friend gave me one of their free Tmo lines so I could have Tmo and Verizon, so I used to use this promo once in awhile vs going to Costco, as it would sometimes make it the same price, however, now it doesn't make much sense as Shell is the highest priced fuel here.
This is still a good deal, but not amazing if you already have a CC that gives 4% back for gas, granted, if you purchased this gift card with a 2% cash back gift card, you'd still be somewhere between 7-8% off. I might grab a couple for trips in the future when I won't be able to pass a Costco.
Q: QuestionDoes Shell Gift Card qualify for cash price or card price when purchasing gas at a Shell station?(5 answers)
A: AnswerIt would be cash price at Shell stations because there is no cost for Shell to process a Shell gift card or credit card.

In the Bay Area, Shell has always been expensive. I avoid them all the time, along with Chevron.

Shell is expensive everywhere and there's a reason why. Quality! I ditched Costco a long back due the same reason! If you have your own car go for Shell, if you have a leased car go for Costco..
