Cash Discount Questions
Cash Discount Questions
Betterpay's Cash Discount Program allows merchants to eliminate 100% of their processing fees by incentivizing shoppers & clients to pay with cash, for a discount. Customers who opt to pay via credit cards will typically pay a 4% line item on their receipt.
As of January 27, 2013, several Card industry changes went into effect with regards to the credit card company's federal class action litigation settlement. This change allows merchants to "offer a cash discount to customers and clients who pay with payment forms less expensive than traditional Bank Debit cards.
In order to be legally compliant and registered
1. Betterpay will provide a clear signage which is required by law to be displayed at the business entry point and the point-of-sale to easily and accurately explain the Cash Discount Program. If a customer or client chooses to pay with cash or check the service charge is discounted and the line item will not be applied.
2. The line item fee or discounted amount must be present on any generated receipts from the transaction.
Most merchants see an increase in cash sales due to the program. For merchants who process small items such as car washes and dry cleaners; notice that the cash discount fee is almost unnoticeable as a $10 item or service will only carry a .40 cent line item. In recent studies, 99.2% of the time the cash discount program was not an issue at the point-of-sale and had zero impact on sales. The Betterpay Cash Discount Program will always allow you to remove the non-cash adjustment line item for any customer. You will also have the option to switch back to traditional processing or Join our 0% Markup Program if you decide the Cash Discount program does not work for your business.
There are multiple credit card terminals and POS systems that work with Betterpay's Cash Discount Program including the Deja Vu Z8, Z11. For an additional $49.99 a month you can receive a Poynt Smart Terminal placement.
