Cash Discount Program
Our company offers merchants the opportunity to avoid surcharges and credit card fees and instead incorporate them into the total sale that your customers are paying.
Cash Discount is an innovative program that is recently available for all merchants across the United States. Many merchants join this program each day since its introduction and allowance in 2019.
The Cash Advantage or Surcharging Program helps merchants bypass paying credit card fees by shifting them to the customers who pay with their credit and debit cards.
Customers have the option to either pay with their card of choice and be charged a small fee, or they can pay with cash and avoid the additional charge altogether.
Merchants who use the Cash Discount or Surcharging Program have their payment terminals programmed with a 4 percent surcharge on top of the original price when customers pay with cards.
The Cash Discount Program is fully legal in Massachusetts. We have dozens of merchant customers who are happy they opted to use it as they now pay absolutely no credit card fees. The customers are aware of this program and are prompt to use more cash.

Example
The merchant runs the card for a $100 sale. The cardholder is then charged a total of $104.
If we then take 4% out of the $104 transaction the business owner will pay $4.16 in fees - an effective rate of 4.16%
$104 * 4% = $4.16
$104 - $4.16 = $99.84 deposit
If we instead take 3.84% of the transaction out then the business owner pays $4.00 in fees on the $104 sale.
$104 * 3.84% = $4
$104 - $4 = $100 deposit.
This ends up being a 4% charge on the original $100 sale. The business owner is charging 4% to the client and exactly 4% is being paid to offset by the 3.84% processing charge.
