SecureTrust of Florida helps businesses evaluate cash discount, Dual Pricing, Clover POS setup, customer-facing price display, receipt wording, staff training, and statement review before launching a payment-pricing program.
Cash discount, Dual Pricing, and surcharging can be structured differently. The correct setup should be reviewed with the processor, applicable card-network rules, local requirements, signage, receipts, and customer checkout workflow before going live.
Serving businesses across Florida, with sales representatives in New York and additional expanding markets.
Review how cash and card pricing is shown to customers before checkout, including menus, shelf labels, invoices, quotes, receipts, and signage.
Review the Clover checkout flow, receipt wording, staff prompts, customer-facing display, tax handling, tips, and reporting before launch.
The program should match the approved processor settings, card-network requirements, receipt configuration, and business checkout process.
These terms are often used together, but they should not be treated as identical. A cash discount generally means customers receive a lower price for paying with cash. A surcharge is generally an added fee for using a particular payment form. Dual Pricing usually refers to showing two payment prices, such as a cash price and card price, before checkout.
| Program | General idea | What to review before launch |
|---|---|---|
| Cash Discount | Customers receive a lower price when paying with cash, depending on the approved setup and how prices are displayed. | Posted prices, cash discount disclosure, receipt wording, staff training, POS settings, and customer explanation. |
| Dual Pricing | Customers see payment-based pricing, such as cash and card pricing, before choosing how to pay. | Price display, customer-facing screen, signage, menu or shelf pricing, receipt wording, staff workflow, and POS configuration. |
| Surcharge | A surcharge is an added fee for using a particular form of payment, subject to card-network and applicable legal requirements. | Card type, state rules, network requirements, surcharge limits, disclosure, receipt line items, and processor approval. |
This page is general business information, not legal, tax, or financial advice. Program availability, pricing, underwriting, disclosure requirements, and rules can vary by processor, card network, business type, location, and account approval.
A cash discount or Dual Pricing program should be reviewed before launch so the customer experience is clear and staff can run the program consistently.
Customer-facing pricing programs can create confusion if the customer only sees the difference at the end of checkout. The business should review how the price is displayed before payment, how the receipt explains the transaction, and how staff explain the program.
Card-network surcharge rules and state requirements can also affect how a program must be presented. Businesses should confirm the approved setup with the processor before going live. Mastercard notes that surcharge limits are tied to the merchant’s cost to accept the particular credit product, and Visa’s surcharge FAQ defines a surcharge as an added fee for using a particular form of payment. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
