EMV at the pump and in-store chip acceptance for convenience stores
Gas Station EMV Compliance Solutions
Red River Software delivers gas station EMV compliance without forcing a full dispenser replacement. Our certified hardware and site controllers bring secure chip-card acceptance to both the pump and the register, so you stay compliant, cut chargebacks, and protect customers at every point of sale. Whether you run one site or several, we map an EMV upgrade path that fits the equipment you already own.
Outdoor EMV: Secure Pay-at-the-Pump Payments
With Red River’s outdoor EMV, your dispensers are ready to accept chip-card payments at the pump. The upgrade keeps your site compliant with the liability shift, reduces fraud, and improves the customer experience every time someone fuels up – a true pay-at-the-pump EMV upgrade built for real forecourts.

Accept EMV Contact and Contactless Transactions
Supports chip-enabled cards plus Apple Pay, Google Pay, and tap-to-pay wallets directly at the dispenser.

Full Liability Shift Protection
Once EMV is enabled at the pump, chargeback responsibility shifts away from your business, lowering financial risk from fraudulent transactions.

Compatibility With Leading Dispenser Brands
Certified for Gilbarco, Bennett, and Wayne dispensers, with upgrade paths that let operators add EMV without replacing existing fueling equipment.

Customer-Ready, Weatherproof Hardware
Dispensers are upgraded with certified card readers and secure keypads that meet PCI standards for daily use and are UL Certified to withstand extreme weather.
