Compatible Payment Gateways

In-Person Gateway Solutions

Tap-To-Pay
We recommend moving to a "Tap-To-Pay" option. Our tap-to-pay devices allow for tap, chip reader, or swipe. If you want the gate box office, kiosks, and parking lot to all use the same gateway for ease in settlement, then you will need to be on the Magensa gateway, which works with Fiserv, Tsys or WorldPay processors.

If you only want or need tap-to-pay in the parking lot and on other mobile devices, then you can use Magensa or Clover. Currently, Clover will not work with web box office (used at gates with reserved seating) or kiosks.

Chip Reader
There is also an option that doesn't have tap-to-pay, but does have a chip reader option, which is called Card Connect.

Unencrypted Swipe
We also currently support Authorize.net, PayPal, and a few others - but the hardware for those is ONLY unencrypted swipers, which eventually are not going to be allowed.

Why we Chose to Work With Fiserv

Fiserv is a major global provider of payment processing and financial-technology services. Its platforms handle card transactions, ACH payments, digital banking, fraud prevention, and a wide range of merchant-services functions used by banks, credit unions, and businesses of all sizes. In practical terms, Fiserv supplies the underlying infrastructure that allows organizations to securely accept payments, settle funds, and manage financial operations at scale.

Our compliance and development team conducted a due diligence process, focusing on:

Security protocols (SOC 2 & PCI-DSS compliance)
Financial soundness and history of performance stability
Reputation risk analysis through reference checks

This phase ensured the provider met both our internal risk tolerance and Fiserv’s partnership standards.

Additionally, we performed hands-on technical validation with the Fiserv sandbox environments to assess:

Integration speed and API reliability
Transaction accuracy and latency metrics
Reporting, reconciliation, and data visibility
Scalability and support for future Fiserv module upgrades

The provider demonstrated superior interoperability and consistent performance across stress tests.

And lastly, we evaluated post-implementation support, including:

Technical support responsiveness
Having a dedicated account manager for all Saffire clients
Escalation and issue-resolution procedures

The provider distinguished itself through proactive service management and strong client satisfaction metrics.

We’ve worked with Tina Hollis as our dedicated account rep for over five years, and she and Fiserv have consistently been the most responsive support system for both us and our clients in that time, by a long shot!
