Free Credit Card Processing = No Fee Merchant Services
For years all business owners have experienced a shift from customers using cash to now preferring credit card payments, which are now the primary form of payment for most businesses. As a result, the high expense of accepting credit cards and the expense of processing fees are now unavoidable. However, with cash discount programs it is possible to eliminate payment processing fees through the application of true cash discount processing or or a surcharge program. These zero cost credit card processing programs allow any business owner to reduce or eliminate the expense of credit card processing fees even if customers are making credit card transactions or debit card transactions.
How Do Merchants Benefit from the Program?
Cash discount processing utilizes cash discounts or a surcharge fee to eliminate merchant fees charged by credit card companies to businesses that accept credit card transactions or debit card transactions. A true cash discount program is compliant in all 50 states. When using cash discounting, business owners reduce or eliminate processing costs from the payment card networks. As your merchant services provider, CashDiscountProgram.com will eliminate your processing cost on your entire monthly processing volume when you accept credit cards. Your business would benefit by incentivizing cash paying customers by having no additional fee for a cash payment and posting a higher credit price for credit card transactions. In this way, our merchant services provider can use surcharge programs or cash discounting to implement a zero cost processing program.
Credit card processing costs are reduced or eliminated helping you increase your net income every time you accept purchases from customers paying with credit or debit cards by offering cash discounts. Most merchants believe payment processing costs could only be diminished by reducing the amount of fraud risk, using an address verification service, and negotiating with credit card processors by lowering rates. Instead, now you can use cash discount programs to reduce the merchant processing fees of every credit card transaction. With cash discount merchant services, there are legal credit card processing programs that save money with little to no credit card fees. Instead of card processing fees being entirely uncontrolled and defined by credit card companies, finally, you can reduce or eliminate merchant monthly fees through a surcharge or legal cash discount program.
Our team will implement a merchant account including a surcharge program or true cash discount program to eliminate or dramatically reduce the cost of every credit card transaction from customers who don’t carry cash and prefer to make credit card payments. Surcharge programs will waive the fee to the customer for payments with debit cards. We consult with business owners to identify your needs and create a merchant account based on the type of cash discounting program or surcharge program that works for you. This way, your business receives a surcharge, cash discount or zero cost credit card processing program that makes sense which will eliminate credit card fees and possibly offer no fee for a customer using a debit card.
The cash discount program and surcharge programs that we offer have no monthly fee and no merchant service fees. Implementing a cash discount program comes with no hidden fees or overhead costs, as this defeats the purpose. The financial burden of accepting credit card payments when using a legal cash discount program is borne by all your customers. Cash customers pay a cash price with no additional fee and credit card paying customers pay a credit price. Debit card purchases are made with no surcharge fees. The program is provided with efficient and transparent solutions that eliminate credit card processing costs.
Cash discount programs eliminate rate increases and do not take advantage of the business owner. With our credit card processor, cash discounts are provided by displaying a cash price for a cash payment. What makes a cash discount program legal is two separate prices posted. Rate increases are now changed where the customer pays the rate when using a credit card. These rates won’t have volatility or change year by year. You can then give customers the option to pay in cash or card, where they receive a discount for cash purchases. This is what makes a cash discount program work, and makes cash discount legal.
Instead of wasting money on expensive credit card processing fees every month, you can increase your revenue with the help of a cash discount program or surcharge program.

Surcharge fees offset credit card processing costs with a flat fee charged to card paying customers. This way, even if you are a small business owner you will have more revenue to allocate in your business, helping you be more successful by enabling you to compete with larger companies with more affordable prices.
How Do I Pay Zero Dollars in Monthly Processing Fees?
When implementing a cash discount program or surcharge programs, your credit card processing fees will be reduced or eliminated. With surcharge programs, a service fee is added to credit card payments. We follow the compliance rules of the credit card brands with great detail and adhere to the regulations.
While following strict card brand rules, we are able to eliminate the interchange fees for most business owners by implementing a compliant cash discount program that offers a discount for cash purchases and waiving the fee for customers paying with debit cards. Staying within the regulations will enable your business to process payments more efficiently and in a cost effective manner through cash discounting, ultimately reducing or eliminating card processing fees and any monthly fees.
What exactly is a Cash Discount Program?
Cash discounting gives customers who pay in cash a discount at the cash register. A merchant can either list items with two different prices, one price for credit card purchases and one price for cash payments, or you can simply apply a discount at the register. With cash discounting, the amount of the discount is normally the same amount as a credit card processing fee would be. For example, if your credit card processing fee is 3.0%, your cash discount would also be 3.0%. This is how cash discount programs incentivize customers to use cash. It is a way to promote your business and save the customer money when they pay with cash.
What Is the Difference Between a Cash Discount Program and a Surcharge Program?
A cash discount program gives people a discount every time they pay with cash. A surcharge program charges a customer a fee every time they pay with a credit card but no fee for debit cards. That small fee is generally based on the credit card processing fee. For example, if a person bought a $5 item and the credit card processing fee was 3%, the cashed discount would be $0.15.
In 2010 Congress passed a law called Dodd-Frank. The bill was designed to protect consumers from unfair bank practices. Part of Dodd-Frank was to legalize cash discount programs in every state. Several states forbid surcharge programs including Connecticut and Massachusetts.

Benefits from a Cash Discount Program
Merchants benefit from cash discounting because customers love the idea of saving money and getting a discount, even if it is just a small amount. If you have many competitors in your area, a cash discount will give them a reason to come to your store instead of going anywhere else. For example, if you own a gas station or convenience store, it might be hard to incentivize customers with the products you sell because the products you sell will be so similar to your competitors. However, if you offer a $0.10 off per gallon of gas or $0.15 off of every cup of coffee, customers will have a good reason to come to your store.
