Dual Pricing 101: A Quick Dive

Dual pricing is a strategic model where businesses set two different prices for the same product or service based on the payment method—cash or credit. Commonly seen at gas stations, this approach helps businesses save by avoiding processing fees on cash transactions while passing those fees onto customers who choose to pay by credit.

Why Businesses Are Jumping On Board

Examples of the additional benefits of choosing from Reliable Card Service include:

Reduce Costs, Build Trust

With our Dual Pricing model, you not only save on transaction fees but also foster trust with your customers. By offering transparent pricing, your customers understand the cost breakdown, ensuring clarity while you benefit from significant savings.

Savings on Transaction Fees

By incentivizing cash payments, you can significantly reduce the costs associated with credit card transactions. This means you keep a bigger chunk of your earnings without having to pay those often hefty processing fees.

Trust Through Transparency

Clearly showing your customers the costs associated with different payment methods can bolster their trust. It’s a direct way of saying, “We value honesty and clarity in our transactions.” In a world where hidden fees are common, your transparency can set you apart.

Peek From the Consumer's Side

Financial Flexibility

Two price points mean you can cater to a broader spectrum of your clientele. Whether it's regulars who are fans of cash or businesses that lean on credit, you're ready for both.

Clarity

Offering clear, transparent pricing choices helps customers feel informed and valued. They'll appreciate knowing they can pick a deal that best fits them.

Savvy Savings

From a consumer's perspective, the opportunity to save money or gain extra benefits always earns favor.

How it Works

With Dual Pricing the customer can pay a 4% fee for using a credit card, which covers the cost of the processing fees. On a $10 transaction the customer would pay $10.40. You’d be funded $10.40 and pay a fee of 3.846% (40 cents) so you get your full $10 and effectively pay nothing for that transaction.

 

Alternatively, the customer can choose to pay in cash and avoid paying the fee. 

The discount for their cash payment would appear clearly on their receipt.

  • Occurrence Fees: some fees will still apply like monthly fees, chargeback fees, and PCI compliance fees. The percentage and transaction fees will be covered by the customer.
  • Proprietary Technology: With over a decade of experience, Reliable Card Service advisors counsel merchants on payment processing best practices so they can achieve the lowest rate possible.
  • Compliance: businesses utilizing Dual Pricing are required to maintain proper signage, which we’ll help with!
