Here's how credit card machines can save your business money: When customers pay with a credit/debit card, businesses usually incur a 3.4% processing fee. For instance, if a customer pays $100, the business has to pay a $3.40 fee. Our machines offer a unique solution. With cash discounting machines, there is still a fee, but it's not the business paying it; it's the customer/card holder. For example, if a customer pays $100 with a card, a 4% fee is added, making the total payment $104. The breakdown is $100 for the product and $4 for the processing fee. However, customers have the option to avoid this fee by paying in cash. This concept is aptly named "Cash Discount." Save on processing fees and provide flexibility to your customers with our innovative solution. Ready to start using our Cash Discount program? Message me to learn more!

What Is a Cash Discount Program and How Can It Benefit Your Business? Imagine keeping 100% of your sales revenue by completely eliminating credit card processing fees. With the Cash Discount Program, you can do just that by passing a small service fee onto customers who choose to pay with credit, debit, or checks. It’s an easy and effective way to take control of your earnings. 1/ Keep 100% of Your Revenue The Cash Discount "Freedom of Fees" Program allows you, as a merchant, to offset all or most of your current payment processing fees without raising your overall prices. This means you can finally collect the full value of your sales while keeping costs under control. 2/ Say Goodbye to Monthly Processing Fees By implementing a small service fee for all customers, you can offer a discount to those who choose to pay with cash. Your advertised prices become the base rate for cash payments, ensuring that your business doesn’t take on the burden of processing fees. 3/ Encourage More Cash Payments Customers who pay with cash will enjoy a discount, avoiding any service fees, while those paying by card will see a small fee added to their receipt. Many will happily switch to cash, saving both them and your business from additional fees. This creates a win-win situation, with more cash payments and reduced processing costs for you.

Question: Why is dual pricing right for my business? Answer: Processing costs are factored into pricing. By applying dual pricing, you ensure that the additional expenses incurred from credit card transactions are offset by the transactions the guests who choose to use that payment method, rather than spreading the costs across all guests when factoring them into the general pricing structure. This way, guests who pay with cash or other non-credit card methods are not indirectly subsidizing credit card processing fees.
