Will the pumps keep taking cards?

If your pumps reach the payment network through your store internet, yes. If they use a separate link, they already have their own path.

Lottery terminals usually run on the lottery's own network, separate from your internet.

Backup internet for convenience stores and gas stations

From the FAILOVER5 team at Twisted VoIP, Chandler, Arizona · Updated October 2026

A fuel station with no internet is a station where the pumps say "see cashier" and the cashier can't take cards either. It happens at 2 a.m. as easily as at noon, and usually with one person on shift.

Inside and at the pump

Registers and site controllers such as Gilbarco Passport or Verifone Commander, where they reach the payment network over your internet
Pay at the pump card readers
Age verification and ID scanning
Loyalty apps and mobile payments
Back office, price books and fuel price updates

How your store reaches the payment network depends on your fuel brand and processor. Some sites use their own satellite or cellular link for payments; many use the store's internet. Check with your brand or point of sale provider which systems rely on your connection, and put those on the backup.

Made for the overnight shift

A clerk alone at night shouldn't have to troubleshoot a modem. Automatic failover switches the store over without anyone touching anything, and switches back when the main line returns.

Suggested plan: 10 GB plan, $88/month

Card traffic is small even at a busy station. 10 GB fits most single sites; 20 GB if cameras or phones also use the backup.
