Can you recommend payment gateway providers for convenience retail that handle both store and forecourt transactions?

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.
