Dual Pricing

What is Dual Pricing?

Dual pricing is the practice of setting different prices in different markets for the same product or service. This tactic may be used by a business for a variety of reasons, but it is most often an aggressive move to take market share away from competitors.

With our Dual Pricing program, you can enable your merchants to literally keep the same amount of money for a non-cash payment as they do for a cash payment. This allows merchants to profit the same no matter how a customer pays. This program greatly increases your profitability. 

 

Configure Dual Pricing

  1. Go to Settings → General Settings → Fees
  2. Toggle the button Activate Tender Based Fee to enable Dual Pricing
  3. Under the Tender Fee tab, choose Dual Pricing
  4. Enter the fee details in the fields provided ;

    Fee Name: Give the Fee a name (it can be up to 50 characters) - Mandatory. 

    Fee Value: Enter the amount for the fee (You can enter a dollar amount or percentage by selecting Dollar or Percentage)

  5. Tender Options: Check the Tender options to which you want the fee to apply.

  6. Click Save.

Surcharges

Save money by removing the burden of paying merchant fees for credit card transactions with the Surcharges feature.

  • Add an additional fee to a customer’s bill when he or she uses a credit card for payment that is equal in value to your merchant fees.

When a tender type, debit or credit is selected on POS during a sales transaction, the surcharge will be automatically added to the sale. Users have the option to print a customized surcharge label on the receipt.
