How the Cash Discount Program Works
Buffalo’s thriving hospitality and food service sector—from Chippewa Street’s bustling bars to Elmwood Village’s independent restaurants and the year-round tourism driven by Niagara Falls proximity—relies heavily on cash transactions. Our system automatically applies a small service fee to all card transactions, but when a customer chooses to pay with cash, the service fee is waived, giving them an immediate discount while you keep the full sale amount—no more paying out of pocket for card fees.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Is the cash discount program legal?
A: Yes. Cash discount programs are 100% legal in all 50 states and fully compliant with Visa, Mastercard, and federal guidelines when implemented correctly. Buffalo businesses—from the ethnic restaurants lining Chippewa Street to the retail shops in Elmwood Village—operate these programs daily without compliance concerns.Q: Will I need to raise prices?
A: No need to raise prices across the board. The terminal automatically adds a small service fee to card purchases and removes it when customers pay with cash. Many Buffalo hospitality and food service operators appreciate this approach because it preserves their posted menu prices while encouraging cash payments from the city’s substantial workforce of healthcare workers, university staff, and service industry employees who often prefer direct cash transactions.Q: How are customers informed?
A: We provide clear signage and receipt disclosures so customers understand the small service fee and their option to avoid it by paying with cash. Whether your business operates near the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, in Downtown Buffalo’s revitalized districts, or along the Delaware Avenue Corridor, transparent communication builds customer trust.Q: Does this affect my accounting or taxes?
A: No. The full sale amount is recorded as usual. The service fee is itemized on receipts but does not alter how your revenue is booked. This clarity is especially valuable for Buffalo’s advanced manufacturing firms, professional services companies, and smaller food and beverage producers managing complex cash flows.Q: What kind of businesses benefit most?
A: Retailers, salons, restaurants, convenience stores, and any business with frequent card usage benefit greatly—especially those with thin margins. In Buffalo’s competitive hospitality and tourism-driven economy, businesses near KeyBank Center, Canalside, and high-traffic entertainment venues see particular advantage from cash discount programs that reduce payment processing costs while accommodating the city’s cash-reliant customer base.
