-Merchant Dual Pricing Program

Two clear prices. One smarter way to manage payment costs.

Display cash and card prices side by side throughout checkout. Customers choose how they want to pay, receipts stay transparent, and your business gains a more predictable way to manage card acceptance costs.

Cash and card prices displayed upfront

Customer choice at checkout

Guided setup and ongoing support

– Transparency at Every Transaction

Give customers a choice without surprising them at checkout.

Dual pricing presents a cash price and a card price before the customer pays. Q Solutions helps you connect the pricing, technology, disclosures, and staff workflow into one consistent experience.

Clear before payment

Customers can see their options before selecting a payment method.

Consistent through checkout

Configured prices carry through the payment screen and receipt.

Supported after launch

Your team has a knowledgeable partner for setup, questions, and ongoing service.

– Simple for Customers. Structured for Your Team.

From displayed price to completed payment in three clear steps.

STEP 01

Show both prices

Cash and card prices are presented using compatible menus, inventory tools, signage, invoices, or payment screens.

STEP 02

Let the customer choose

The customer selects cash or card based on the two prices shown—before the transaction is completed.

STEP 03

Complete a transparent checkout

The selected payment amount is processed and reflected on the receipt using the configured workflow.

 – A More Predictable Cost Strategy

Manage card acceptance costs while keeping the customer experience clear.

Better cost visibility

Build payment acceptance into your pricing strategy instead of treating it as an unpredictable month-end expense.

Customer choice

Customers decide whether the cash price or card price works best for them.

Clearer checkout

Upfront price presentation helps avoid frustration from an unexpected last-second adjustment.

Modern technology

Accept chip, contactless, and supported wallet payments on compatible equipment.

Consistent receipts

Provide a record that reflects the payment method and configured transaction price.

Guided implementation

Get help with equipment, configuration, disclosures, staff training, and launch planning.

– Know the Difference

Dual pricing is a pricing model—not simply a fee added at the end.

Each approach has a different customer experience and different operational requirements. We help you understand the available options before you choose.

Upfront choice

Dual pricing

Cash and card prices are displayed in advance. The customer chooses a payment method and pays the corresponding displayed price.

Separate requirements

Credit card surcharge

An additional amount is applied to an eligible credit card transaction and is subject to separate disclosure, network, acquirer, and jurisdictional requirements.

Merchant-paid cost

Traditional processing

One price is displayed for all payment methods and the business pays its processing costs separately.

– Set Up With Clarity

The technology matters. The implementation matters just as much.

A successful program depends on more than turning on a terminal setting. Q Solutions helps coordinate the customer experience from displayed pricing through receipt.

– Implementation & Compliance

Designed for a transparent customer experience.

We help you understand what must be shown, where it must appear, and how the configured program should flow across your equipment and business environment.

Important: Program availability, configuration, and requirements depend on merchant type, payment channel, equipment, processor and acquiring bank rules, payment network rules, and applicable law. Q Solutions does not provide legal or tax advice. Actual savings vary.
