A cash discount program is an innovative credit card processing program that allows you to offer discounts to clients who pay cash and charge clients a non-cash rate adjustment if they wish to use a card. In 2019, the Federal Reserve found that 23% of respondents preferred paying with cash as reported by PaymentsJournal.
If the client pays cash – the discount provided is typically 3.5% to 4%. This matches with what typically averages out to be credit card merchant provider fees and fees from the major credit card companies. Meaning if the total is $100.00, you will offer the client a discount (3.5% = $3.50) so $96.50 cash. Your customers will enjoy immediate savings.
If the client pays with a card – the non-cash rate adjustment is typically 3.5% to 4%. This amount is meant to cover all the fees associated with taking credit cards. Meaning if the total was $100.00, you will receive $100 instead of $96.50 as an example.
This example is important because transparent pricing is required by regulators. Cash discount program regulations are very important to abide by. Our Edge cash discount program is fully compliant and free terminals are offered to any business doing over $10,000.00 per month. Our modern touchscreen terminals display both pricing options so consumers have the choice.

One frequent concern is what if my customers don’t like this non-cash rate adjustment? Keep in mind that many credit cards offer up to 6% cashback rewards. So even if you’re at a 4% non-cash rate adjustment, many customers will still be up 2%! Customers typically opt to use credit cards to stack airline miles, hotel stays, and cashback rewards. This is evident if you go to the gas station. Everyone has the choice to pay less by paying cash to the cashier, but most still pay at the pump with their credit card. The convenience alone is worth it to most customers.
