What is Cash Discounting?

Cash discounting (as well as non-cash adjustments) allow merchants to give a discount to their customers for paying cash. This has been employed across the country for a long time – think gas stations! They post two prices, a “cash” and “credit” price. This system is nice because you can simply raise prices modestly to “incorporate” credit costs. Then, as the merchant, you don’t change your posted prices when accepting credit cards! Instead, our software automatically applies a “non-cash adjustment” line item to all transactions. When customers pay with cash, that line item is removed, and the customer gets a cash discount. If the customer pays via any other means, they will still incur the non-cash adjustment line-item fee.
 

Confusing? It can be! But at the end of the day, our job is to make it work. You run a sale, you keep 100% of the funds, or close to it. Cash discounting is a fantastic way to ensure that your profits aren’t eaten up by exorbitant processing fees with a zero-cost processing strategy. There are nuances and regulations you need to be aware of, which is why it is important to work with a trusted provider like AND to set your business up properly.
