Wawa restores credit card transactions after system briefly crashed

PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Wawa stores were cash-only for a couple of hours during the Thursday morning rush.

The company said the credit card provider it uses was having issues and stores were unable to accept credit transactions “at some, if not all stores.”

Customers could only pay with cash until the problem was fixed.

Wawa said the processing outage lasted between about 7:15 and 9:30 a.m. The cause of the outage is not known.
