Dual Pricing for businesses that want clearer cash and card pricing
SecureTrust of Florida helps businesses review Dual Pricing programs, compare payment-processing options, and set up customer-facing pricing workflows with Clover POS, signage guidance, receipt review, and staff onboarding.
Dual Pricing can be a useful option for businesses that want to present clear cash and card prices while reviewing the impact of card-processing costs on their operation.
Serving businesses across Florida, with sales representatives in New York and additional expanding markets.
Cash and card price visibility
Dual Pricing generally presents customers with clear pricing based on how they choose to pay, such as a cash price and a card price.
Clover POS configuration
The POS setup should match the business workflow, receipt needs, staff process, customer-facing checkout, and payment program requirements.
Statement and program review
SecureTrust can review current statements, monthly fees, device setup, and transaction types before recommending Dual Pricing or another option.
How Dual Pricing works
Dual Pricing generally gives customers two visible price options based on payment method. The goal is to make the payment choice clear before checkout instead of surprising the customer at the end of the sale.
The exact setup should be reviewed carefully because the way prices are displayed, how receipts print, how staff explains the program, and how the POS is configured can affect the customer experience.
Dual Pricing vs cash discount vs surcharge
Business owners often hear the terms Dual Pricing, cash discount, and surcharge used together, but they are not always the same setup. The difference usually comes down to how prices are displayed, how the customer is informed, how the receipt is presented, and how the payment program is configured.
SecureTrust of Florida can help review the business model, checkout flow, POS setup, customer communication, and processor program options so the business can choose a structure that fits its operation.
| Program | General idea | What to review |
|---|---|---|
| Dual Pricing | Customers see clear payment-based pricing, such as cash and card pricing. | Price display, POS setup, receipt layout, customer communication, and staff training. |
| Cash Discount | The business offers a discount when the customer pays with cash. | Signage, receipt wording, displayed prices, staff explanation, and program setup. |
| Surcharge | A card-related charge may be added to certain card transactions depending on program rules and requirements. | Program restrictions, customer disclosure, card-type handling, receipt wording, and processor approval. |
This page is general business information, not legal advice. Program requirements can vary by location, processor, card network rules, and business type. Businesses should review requirements before launching any pricing program.
Where Dual Pricing can fit
Dual Pricing may fit businesses where customers pay at a counter, service desk, front office, register, invoice station, or customer-facing checkout area and where the staff can clearly explain the payment options.
Dual Pricing setup with Clover POS
A Dual Pricing setup should be reviewed with the Clover device, checkout flow, receipt needs, and customer-facing payment process in mind. The right device and configuration can vary depending on whether payments happen at a counter, table, front desk, phone order, invoice, or service location.
Clover Station Duo
This may fit a full counter checkout setup where customer-facing display and register-style workflow matter.
Clover Mini
This may fit compact counters, service desks, and smaller checkout areas that still need a countertop POS device.
Clover Flex
This may fit mobile checkout, tableside payments, curbside payments, or service businesses that need handheld flexibility.
Virtual terminal
This may fit phone orders, remote payments, keyed transactions, invoices, and office-based payment workflows.

Dual Pricing for restaurants, retail, and service businesses

Dual Pricing is not the only option
Some businesses may be better suited for Dual Pricing, while others may prefer Interchange Plus, traditional processing, Clover POS with virtual terminal tools, or gateway-based workflows. The best option depends on customer experience, transaction volume, card mix, average ticket size, and business type.
