How Zero-Fee Processing Works

Zero-fee processing (also called dual pricing or cash discounting) is a compliant program that displays two prices:

  • Cash Price: The standard price for cash/debit payments
  • Card Price: A small service fee added for credit card payments

This shifts processing costs to customers who choose credit cards, eliminating your fees entirely. It's legal in all 50 states including Idaho when implemented correctly.

✓ Visa Compliant ✓ Mastercard Compliant ✓ PCI DSS
