It is a smart option for businesses looking to improve margins without sacrificing payment convenience.

Reduce Processing Costs

Dual pricing can significantly lower or eliminate traditional credit card processing expenses by shifting card-related costs through a compliant pricing structure. Keep more of every sale and improve profitability.

Simple Customer Choice

Customers are given clear payment options at checkout, with one price for cash and another for card payments. This transparent model gives customers flexibility while helping businesses manage costs.

Easy Equipment Integration

Our dual pricing programs work with modern terminals and many point of sale systems, automatically calculating the correct amount and printing clear receipts for customers.

Local Support and Setup

South Florida Merchant Services provides hands-on guidance, equipment setup, staff training, and responsive local support so your transition to dual pricing is smooth and successful.

How Does Dual Pricing Credit Card Processing Work?

Transaction amount is entered into the system and the terminal automatically calculates the customer assistance fee to charge to the card using customer.

The customers receipt clearly breaks down the sales and customer assistance fee for retail and restaurant locations, accounting for tips when necessary.

Full sales amount goes directly to the merchant and the system uses the customer assistance fee to help offset your merchant processing fees at your business.

Q. How will customers react?
A. Your customers will be encouraged to pay CASH to receive the DISCOUNTED price. They understand that credit and debit cards are more expensive to accept than cash and are used to paying more if they pay their taxes, utilities or tuition with a credit or debit card. When faced with a discount, many consumers will switch to paying with cash. Others will stick with their credit or debit cards and pay the regular price.
Q. How does cash-discount work?
A. A customer presents a credit card to make a purchase. When a credit card is swiped, our terminals (1) automatically applies the non-discounted fee to your discounted cash pricing; (2) prints a receipt showing the discounted cash price with the non discounted fee added; (3) we then deposit the entire full cash price (100%) into your account as though it was a cash transaction, and the non discounted fee is retained.

“The biggest fear was what customers might say about the program. After three months only one person mentioned it, and they paid cash. With my savings I finally got to on vaction, and gave two employees a raise.”
