Two businesses under one roof.
Price them that way.
Two businesses under one roof.
Price them that way.
Fuel and inside sales clear at different interchange. Running them on separate merchant category codes is standard petro practice — and skipping it is how one side quietly pays for the other.
Three places money changes hands.
At the pump
Pay-at-pump, and the fleet cards behind it.
- Fuel MCC, priced on its own
- Fleet and fuel cards
- Pre-auth sized to the fill
At the counter
Where the margin actually is.
- Inside sales on their own MCC
- Age-restricted prompts
- Scan, weigh and deposit lines
Around the store
Kitchen, kerbside and the queue.
- Handheld for the queue
- Food service orders
- Same account, one deposit
What the counter has to handle.
Fuel and shop apart
Two MCCs, one deposit
Fleet cards
Accepted at the pump
Age prompts
On the terminal, not on paper
Food service
Kitchen orders on the same till
Cash discounting
Where your state permits it
Per-site reporting
Every station, one login
One blended rate, or two honest ones.
| Blended across the site | Fuel and inside, priced apart | |
|---|---|---|
| Merchant category | One code for everything | Fuel and retail on their own |
| What you can see | A single average | What each side actually costs |
| Fleet cards | Often a separate machine | On the same account |
| The busy side | Subsidises the quiet one | Priced on its own volume |
| Renegotiating | All or nothing | One side at a time |
| Reporting | Site totals | Per lane, per till, per site |
If your site is small enough that one code genuinely is simpler, we will say so. Dual MCC is standard practice, not a rule.
From operators who split the two
“Once fuel and the shop were priced separately we could finally see which one was carrying the site.”
“Fleet cards used to mean a second terminal and a second statement. That is one line on ours now.”
