How it works

Refreshingly simple. You post
two prices. That's it.

A dual pricing program means you show a cash price and a card price on your menu, shelf, or display. Customers who choose to pay with a card pay a small service fee, typically 3–4%. That fee covers your processing cost entirely.

1

Post two prices

Show your cash price and a slightly higher card price at your register or on your menu

2

Customer chooses

They decide to pay cash (lower price) or card (card price with service fee included)

3

Service fee collected

If they pay by card, the 3–4% service fee is added to their total automatically

4

You pay nothing

The service fee covers your entire processing cost. Your net is the full sale price

Live example, $100 item

See how dual pricing works for both payment types

Customer pays cash
They pay (cash price) $100.00
Processing fee $0.00
You receive $100.00
Customer pays by card
They pay (card price) $104.00
Service fee (paid by them) −$4.00
You receive $100.00
Either way, you always receive your full $100. Processing cost = $0.
Common questions

Is this actually legal?
And what do customers think?

⚖️

100% legal and compliant

Dual pricings are fully permitted under federal law and all card network rules, as long as you're offering a lower price for cash rather than adding a surcharge to card payments. Your terminal and signage handle this automatically, we set it all up for you.

👥

Customers are used to it

Gas stations have done this for decades. Millions of businesses across the US now use dual pricing programs. Most customers understand and accept it, especially when the cash price option is clearly displayed. Most still choose to pay by card and simply pay the service fee.

📋

Proper signage required

You need to display both prices clearly at the point of sale. We provide the signage templates and set up your terminal to automatically display the cash and card pricing, everything is handled for you from day one.

💰

The math is real

On $50,000/month in card volume, you're currently paying roughly $1,300–$1,500/month in processing fees. On dual pricing, that goes to $0. That's $15,000–$18,000 a year back in your pocket. That's real money.

✅ Why businesses love it

  • 👍Zero monthly processing costs, every dollar of your sale price is yours
  • 👍Works for any business type, retail, restaurants, service, medical
  • 👍Customers who pay cash get a genuine benefit (lower price)
  • 👍Can significantly boost your cash-in-hand flow
  • 👍Most popular model for businesses wanting maximum take-home

⚠️ Things to think about

  • 👎Some customers may react negatively if the service fee isn't explained clearly upfront
  • 👎Not a great fit for businesses with very high average tickets where 3–4% feels significant
  • 👎Requires proper signage, we handle this, but it's a real requirement
  • 👎Works best in markets where it's already familiar (varies by area)
