With dual pricing (a cash price and a card price), you pay 0% on every card payment, keyed-in and invoices included. A cash discount program works in a similar way. See how both work on our zero-fee processing page.
With more than one location, consistency matters. A program that is set up one way at one store and another way at the next confuses customers and staff, and makes compliance harder. We set each location up the same way:
- Both prices are posted before the sale.
- Clear signs at every register and door. Free English and Spanish cash discount signs are available.
- Clean receipts that show the price the customer chose.
- One set of staff instructions for every store.
Not every business wants dual pricing, and that's OK. Traditional pricing is also available.
About surcharging: surcharging (adding a fee to card payments) follows different rules from dual pricing, and those rules vary by state and by card brand. If you are considering it for any location, verify the current rules in each state where you operate. We can't give legal advice. Learn more in cash discount vs. dual pricing vs. surcharging.
