What is a cash discount?
A cash discount reduces the standard price when a customer pays with cash. It is different from adding a fee to a card transaction. Clear pricing helps customers understand their options before they pay.

Look beyond the advertised savings
We discuss your typical sale, how customers pay, and the costs that remain under a proposed program. The right comparison includes equipment and recurring charges as well as transaction costs. A program should fit your customer relationships, not just a headline rate.
Plan the checkout experience
Before a change, review pricing displays, receipts, staff explanations, and equipment capabilities with your provider. We help you compare available options and identify the setup questions that need answers before launch.
Common questions
Is cash discounting the same as surcharging?
No. A cash discount reduces the standard price for paying cash; a surcharge adds a fee to an eligible credit card purchase. The setup and applicable requirements differ.
Will this eliminate every processing expense?
Not necessarily. Ask for a complete breakdown of transaction, monthly, equipment, and other program costs before choosing a plan.
Program basics: Visa merchant rules. Confirm current requirements with your processor before implementing a program.
