Cash Discount
The benefits of Cash Discount are real and can save your business money. A cash discount offers a lower price for cash payments to offset credit card fees, while a surcharge adds a fee to credit card payments so those customers pay more than the advertised price to offset credit card fees.
Both Cash Discount and Surcharging are an alternative to traditional payments acceptance that completely offsets card processing costs. Paystri helps businesses achieve compliant zero-fee card processing by providing the terminals, signage, and training needed to make it a reality.
