A customer can pay for fuel at the pump, add a drink at the counter, and pick up a food order on the way out. When those transactions run through different systems, staff can end up reconciling sales by hand, checking stock twice, or correcting orders that should never have been accepted.
The right POS depends on where that work breaks down. Do you need a system that controls pumps and tracks fuel, or do you already have one and need better oversight of the convenience store? The distinction matters: a retail POS does not automatically replace a forecourt controller.
Before shortlisting a provider, ask it to demonstrate the workflows you actually run:
- Fuel and payments: Can the setup work with your dispensers, forecourt controller, payment processor, and any required fuel-card or brand programs?
- Stock: Can staff see both fuel data and shelf inventory where needed, without entering the same sale twice?
- Checkout: Can cashiers handle the mix of fuel, store items, and food-service orders your site sells?
- Growth: If you add another station or accept online orders, who controls stock availability, staff permissions, and reporting across sites?

NCR
NCR is a highly regarded POS for a gas station because it brings the right features into an efficient system. NCR has two products for gas stations: NCR Sitepoint and NCR RPOS. Sitepoint will help gas stations perform commercial fuel operations such as fuel management, POS pump integration, wet warehouse management, inventory, reporting, and employee management. Meanwhile, RPOS integrates convenience store operations with gas station touchpoints. It allows gas stations to accept orders at the pump and provide mobile ordering, payment services, etc. However, since this POS for gas requires custom pricing depending on the hardware and features you need, there is no fixed price.
Verifone
Verifone would suit a travel stop with a gas pump, souvenirs, and food court, or multiple gas stations. This versatile POS system helps gas station owners not only manage fuel inventory but also manage self-service kiosks. Verifone lists several integration partners for loyalty management, fleet tags, tank level monitoring, and electric fuel signs. Like other forecourt POS systems, this one will customize to your needs, including self-service kiosks and controllers in addition to the over-the-counter POS system, so pricing will also be customized.
LS Retail
LS Retail is a POS system that helps gas stations manage fuel. It offers three gas station POS systems, LS Central, LS One, and LS First, along with business intelligence, payment processing, and other programs for different sizes of businesses. This POS system will make it easy for staff to manage pumps from approval to decommission and calculate inventory levels so you know what fuel needs reordering. You will need to contact LS Retail for pricing as the system offers three POS packages and each package will be priced according to the customer’s request.
Petrosoft SmartPOS
Petrosoft SmartPOS is a tailored solution for gas stations. This POS system will combine a gas and your store. It also provides various integrations for consignment solutions, self-service, food service, order management, and outbound analytics fuel pump management. It also installs processes to manage employee performance. SmartPOS software is sold in multiple versions, but you can try it with a trial version or as cheap as $15 for Scan Data.
Conclusion
Start with the job your POS must perform. For direct pump control and fuel workflows, assess NCR Voyix, Verifone, LS Retail, and Petrosoft against your equipment. If fuel operations already work but store stock and online orders are becoming harder to manage, treat the retail workflow as a separate requirement and verify any integration before making changes.
If the gap is in convenience-store checkout, inventory, or pickup orders, ConnectPOS is a retail-focused option worth evaluating. Unsure where the gap is? Chat with us about your forecourt setup and we’ll help you identify what needs to change.
