What is the EasySwipe Cash Discount Program?

The EasySwipe Cash Discount Program is a way for you the merchant to offset your merchant service fees without increasing your overall rates. It is a method of passing a service fee to all customers while giving a discount to those who pay with cash.

What kind of businesses can use EasySwipe?

Just about any business that accepts credit cards can benefit from EasySwipe. From auto repair shops and daycare centers to retail establishments and professionals like doctors, lawyers, dentists and accountants, EasySwipe can put more money in your pocket every month — a lot of it!

What do I need to get started with EasySwipe?

This is the fun part. We’ll send you everything you need in one handy package. You’ll receive a payment terminal, along with signage for your front door and terminal area explaining the discount for cash-paying customers. You’ll also receive free training, as will your sales staff. You’ll also receive a great gift while supplies last.

OK, I really like the idea of EasySwipe. What do I do now?

Just give us a call and one of our representatives will help you get started. Unfortunately, our representatives are unable to accept really expensive gifts, so a simple “Thanks for your help!” will suffice.

What are my customers going to say?

Recent study states that 80% of consumers wouldn’t think twice about the service fee 39 cents on a $10 purchase for the convenience of using their credit card rather than carrying cash.

Is it legal to offer a Cash Discount?

As Mitchell Katz, spokesman for the Federal Trade Commission, said in May 2011, “The Dodd-Frank Law prohibits a payment card network such as Visa from inhibiting the ability to provide a discount for payment by cash, checks, debit cards or credit cards… neither surcharging nor cash discounting is illegal.”

Is there anything you can show me to say that it's legal?

From NBCNews.com…
Visa, MasterCard in $7.3 billion settlement over credit card fees.
Plaintiffs attorney Martin Lueck, chairman of the executive board of Robins, Kaplan, said the allowed “surcharge” is actually a pro-consumer provision of the settlement. “Really it’s a discount that the merchants are now allowed to offer for the less expensive form of payments,” he said. He also said merchants would for the first time be allowed to disclose how much it costs them to accept credit cards.

What will my receipt look like?

Is this the same as a surcharge?

This is not a credit or debit card surcharge program which is not allowed in several states. EasySwipe provides you with a technology that allows you to offer discounts to its customers who chose to pay using cash or check which is allowed in all states.
