Dual Pricing or Cash Discounting allows a merchant to offer a discounted price to their customer when they pay with cash instead of credit card. When customers choose to pay in cash, they enjoy a discounted rate, while credit card payments incur a slightly higher fee covering processing costs. This innovative strategy enables merchants to reduce credit card processing fees and foster increased customer loyalty. Our dual pricing program is accessible through specific point-of-sale devices configured to provide both cash and card pricing options.
