Wayne iX Pay in Canada: what it does at the pump, and how to keep it when you change processors.

Wayne iX Pay is the payment platform built into Wayne fuel dispensers: the secure keypad, card reader and screen at the pump, and the software that runs them. Dover completed its acquisition of Wayne Fueling Systems on 12 December 2016, and Wayne is now a brand of Dover Fueling Solutions (DFS). iX Pay is a pump card reader and its software. It sits between the driver's card and the site's POS or payment server, which talks to the processor, and that is why it belongs with payment middleware.

The short answer

  • iX Pay is the pump end of the sale. It reads the card and the PIN at the dispenser. The site's POS or payment server sends the sale on for approval.
  • Dover owns it. Wayne joined Dover in December 2016. iX Pay 2 comes on new Wayne Helix, Ovation and Vista dispensers, or as a retrofit kit.
  • It was first to Interac's chip standard. Dover's brochure says iX Pay 2 was the first device certified to Interac's chip PIN pad requirements.
  • The POS behind it sets the processor options. Bulloch POS, which Dover bought in 2024, and Infonet's C-Store Commander both run Wayne pumps and payments together.
  • Check the approval on your units. Dover's brochure lists PCI PTS 4.0, and PCI SSC set 30 April 2024 as the expiry for version 4 approvals.

What Wayne iX Pay does

iX Pay takes the card at the pump, and the POS or payment server gets an approval before fuelling, then completes the sale for the fuel pumped.

  3. Your POS or payment server
  4. The processor
  5. Your bank account

iX Pay protects the card and PIN as they are entered, your POS or payment server asks the processor to approve an amount and turns the pump on, the sale is completed for the fuel dispensed, and the processor settles to your bank account.

In its chip setup, Dover says iX Pay 2 talks to the POS or payment server through a secure XML link. So the sale reaches the processor through the POS.

Terminals it runs on

iX Pay comes in a few forms, from a module inside a new Wayne dispenser to a retrofit screen for older pumps, and the counter PIN pad is not one of them.

What it handles

Dover's pages cover chip, PIN, Interac and encryption at the pump, while fleet cards and loyalty run in the POS behind it and offline rules are not described.

FeatureWhat the public pages say
Chip and swipeThe EMV Series has an encrypting reader for chip and PIN and swiped cards, and meets EMV 4.2
Contactless and walletsDover says the T7 can take contactless cards and mobile payments. The iX Pay 2 brochure does not list a tap reader
Interac debitThe brochure says iX Pay 2 was the first device certified to Interac's chip PIN pad requirements
Approval before fuellingThe POS or forecourt controller approves the card, turns the pump on for that amount and completes the sale for the fuel pumped
Fleet cardsHandled by the POS. Infonet's C-Store Commander lists private and public fleet card support
LoyaltyRetrofit kits keep Wayne TRAC RFID and Wayne SCAN barcode readers. Loyalty programs run in the POS
Offline salesNot described on Dover's pages. Ask your POS maker what happens when the network drops
EncryptionA PCI PTS 4.0 encrypting PIN pad with TDES and DUKPT keys, encrypting card readers and optional point-to-point encryption

Who uses it

iX Pay is for gas stations and convenience stores with Wayne dispensers, and for sites with older pumps that take a retrofit kit or the T7. It does not run on its own. It needs a POS or payment server that controls the pumps and sends the sales.

Two Canadian POS makers publish support for Wayne pump readers:

  • Bulloch POS. Bulloch is based in Toronto and runs at about 7,000 sites in Canada. Dover completed its acquisition on 31 January 2024. Bulloch lists in-pump card reader support for Wayne and Gilbarco and says it is EMV-deployed across Canada.
  • Infonet C-Store Commander. Infonet is a Canadian company whose POS and back office covers fuel and c-store sites. It has integrated Wayne, Tokheim and Gilbarco dispensers since the 1990s, and lists EMV pay at the pump in Canada, fleet cards and First Nations tax-exempt sales.

Infonet also makes Fuel Commander for unattended sites such as card locks, which lists Wayne pay-at-the-pump dispensers.

Keeping your POS when you change processors

The POS or payment server behind iX Pay decides which processors you can use, so keeping your pumps and changing processors depends on what that POS supports. Dover's Bulloch page lists three payment networks it supports. Infonet offers integrated and semi-integrated card processing and works with several processing partners. Check that your new processor is on your POS maker's list.

For a change to work, all of this has to be true:

  • Your POS and its version support the new processor. That covers the counter and the pumps.
  • The new processor is certified for your setup. Pump sales add approval before fuelling, fleet cards and pump receipts, so ask for certification that covers the pumps as well as the counter.
  • A new merchant account is opened. Your old merchant account and its merchant ID do not move.
  • Your pump readers are re-keyed or replaced. Readers keyed for one processor may need new keys, and older units may need a newer model.
  • Your POS maker and your fuel service company usually do the work. Plan the date with both.

Nobody can promise the result before these are checked.

What to check before a change

Your POS and its version

Ask which POS or payment server runs your pumps, and which version. That is the part a processor certifies.

Your dispensers and readers

List each dispenser and the reader in it: iX Pay 2, a T7 or an older Wayne unit. Gilbarco also sells a SPOT M7 retrofit kit for Wayne Vista dispensers, so a Wayne pump may not have a Wayne reader. PCI SSC asks users of version 4 devices to ask their vendor about newer models for replacements and new installs.

Fleet cards and loyalty

Write down every fleet card and loyalty program you accept at the pump. Each one runs through your POS, and each must work with the new processor.

Offline sales and the network

Ask your POS maker what the pumps do when the internet or the processor link goes down, and whether any sales are stored to send later.

Who supports you after

Write down who to call: your POS maker for the software, Dover or your fuel service company for the pumps, and the processor for approvals and deposits.

Where CleverPays fits

Dover builds iX Pay and the Wayne dispensers. Your POS maker builds the software that runs the pumps, and your fuel service company installs and repairs them. The processor approves and settles each card payment. CleverPays makes none of it.

We read your setup and name each part: the POS, its version, the pump readers, the counter PIN pad and the processor. Then we tell you in writing whether a change is possible and what it would affect, before anything moves.
