Cash Discount and Duel-Pricing Programs
Cash Discount
A Cash Discount program is a pricing strategy where a business offers a lower price to customers who pay with cash or a cash equivalent, thus providing a discount from the standard, posted price. The displayed price is essentially the “card price,” which has the anticipated cost of payment processing fees built into it. When a customer chooses to pay with cash, the system automatically applies a discount, often equivalent to the card processing fee (e.g., 3–4%), which allows the business to retain the full revenue of the product while rewarding the customer for using a payment method that does not incur card processing fees. This model is focused on framing the transaction as a reward for cash payment.
Duel Pricing
A Dual Pricing program, often synonymous with a cash discount program, refers to the practice of displaying and offering two distinct prices for the same product or service: a Cash Price and a slightly higher Card Price. By clearly presenting both options, the merchant aims to offset payment processing fees by encouraging customers to select the lower cash price, or by having the card-paying customer effectively cover the cost of the card transaction fee through the higher price. The primary difference from simple “surcharging” is the compliant execution, which avoids adding a fee on top of a single advertised price and instead leverages the transparency of two initial prices to give the customer a choice.
