Gas Stations & C-Stores
Payment processing for gas stations & c-stores
Fuel-qualified interchange rates that protect thin-margin operations.
The Problem
Why most gas stations & c-stores businesses are overpaying
Gas stations face a double challenge: razor-thin margins and a card mix that skews heavily toward debit and fuel rewards cards. Most processors apply a single blended rate that ignores the favorable interchange categories your business actually qualifies for.
Common challenges
Fuel transactions qualify for special petroleum interchange, most processors ignore this
High debit volume deserves debit-specific pricing, not blended credit rates
Skimmers and chargebacks are an ongoing risk for outdoor payment terminals
Card-present fuel sales are often miscoded, triggering higher interchange
