A Gasoline Station

I refuelled my car yesterday in a rural gasoline station, where there was no space for credit card scanning. What we need to do is to pump first, then go inside a small shop for the payment. While it's possible that someone might drive away without paying, I think such incidents could be very rare, otherwise, the gasoline station wouldn't have been runing here for over 10 years.

There was a space for credit card scanning — inside the store! :-)

This is still pretty standard in petrol stations where I live. Some of the stores do it deliberately, so you have to go into the store to pay and potentially buy more items when you're in the store.

A Gasoline Station

This is correct, but we would more commonly say "Gas Station" and not the full word gasoline.

I refuelled my car yesterday in a rural gasoline station, where there was no splace for credit card scanning.

Or, more smoothly "where there was nowhere to scan a credit card"

What we need to do is to pump first, then go inside a small shop for the paymentto pay.

Again, this is not incorrect but the simpler version sounds smoother.

Great job. We still have gas stations like that here also, but more and more of them ask you to go inside first to pre-approve the credit card, and then pump your gas.
