Yes — for convenience retail with both in-store and forecourt transactions, you generally want a payment gateway/provider that supports:

  • Integrated POS + forecourt/PUMP payments
  • EMV/contactless + mobile wallets
  • Fuel preauth/settlement workflows
  • EMV PIN debit, gift cards, loyalty
  • Multi-site reporting and reconciliation
  • Outdoor terminal/PIN pad durability and network resilience

Here are solid provider categories and examples to consider:

1) Retail payment processors with forecourt support

These are often the best fit if you want one provider across store and fuel.

  • Worldpay for Platforms / Worldpay Integrated Payments

    • Strong retail footprint, broad device support, good for chain deployments.
    • Can support both lane and forecourt setups via partners/integrators.
  • Fiserv (Clover / First Data legacy merchant services)

    • Good retail capabilities and broad acceptance network.
    • Often used with integrated POS and forecourt solution partners.
  • NCR Voyix / NCR payments ecosystem

    • Particularly relevant if you already use NCR retail systems.
    • Good for convenience stores that want integrated POS, fuel, and loyalty workflows.
  • TSYS / Global Payments

    • Strong issuer/processor coverage and enterprise retail support.
    • Common in larger chains and integrated environments.

2) Convenience-store and forecourt specialists

These tend to be especially relevant because they understand fuel-specific workflows.

  • NBS (Nexus Business Solutions)

    • Well-known in c-store / forecourt environments.
    • Often integrates with pump controllers, POS, loyalty, and price book systems.
  • Invenco by GVR

    • Strong forecourt technology and outdoor payment solutions.
    • Good if you need modern pump-side/card-reader hardware and integration.
  • Gilbarco Veeder-Root

    • Not just payments, but a major forecourt ecosystem provider.
    • Often part of an end-to-end fuel + convenience stack.
  • Dover Fueling Solutions

    • Forecourt and fuel retail specialist.
    • Useful when payment capabilities are tied to pump hardware and site systems.

3) Omnichannel payment gateways that can be integrated into c-store stacks

These are better if you want flexible API-based payment acceptance and can work with a fuel/POS integrator.

  • Adyen

    • Strong omnichannel and enterprise capabilities.
    • Good reporting, tokenization, and multi-site control.
    • Forecourt support typically depends on partner integration.
  • Stripe

    • Very good for digital, app, and some retail use cases.
    • Not usually the first choice for complex fuel dispenser workflows, but useful for certain unified commerce scenarios.
  • Braintree

    • Good omnichannel and digital wallet support.
    • More common for app/ecommerce-adjacent use cases than pump-side acceptance.
  • Authorize.Net

    • Reliable gateway, but usually more useful for card-not-present or simpler card-present setups.
    • Typically not sufficient alone for forecourt complexity.

What matters most for convenience retail + forecourt

When evaluating providers, ask specifically about:

  • Fuel preauthorization support
    Essential for pay-at-the-pump to avoid declines and to manage final capture.

  • Pump controller / dispenser integration
    Compatibility with your current forecourt equipment matters a lot.

  • Store POS integration
    One tender flow across inside and outside lanes is ideal.

  • Offline/stand-in processing Important for forecourt uptime if connectivity drops.

  • PCI and P2PE support Especially important for card-present and outdoor terminals.

  • EMV/contactless at pump Required in many markets for security and fraud reduction.

  • Loyalty and fleet card handling Many c-stores need this in addition to consumer cards.

  • Reconciliation and reporting You want site-level, lane-level, and dispenser-level visibility.

Practical shortlist

If you want a quick starting shortlist, I’d look at:

  1. NCR Voyix – best if you want a convenience-retail-first ecosystem
  2. Worldpay or Global Payments/TSYS – strong enterprise processor options
  3. Adyen – best if you want a modern omnichannel/API-led setup
  4. Gilbarco Veeder-Root / Dover Fueling / Invenco – best if forecourt hardware integration is central
  5. NBS – good specialist option for c-store + forecourt

My recommendation by scenario

  • Single-site or small chain: look at NCR, Worldpay, or a forecourt specialist through your POS vendor.
  • Multi-site regional chain: consider Global Payments/TSYS, Worldpay, or Adyen with a fuel-integrated POS partner.
  • Heavy forecourt complexity: prioritize Gilbarco / Dover / Invenco / NBS ecosystem compatibility first.

If you tell me:

  1. your country/region,
  2. number of stores/sites,
  3. whether you need pay-at-pump, in-store, or both, and
  4. your current POS/fuel hardware,

I can narrow this to a much more specific shortlist.
