What Is Dual Pricing?
It’s different from surcharging. Surcharging adds a fee on top at the moment of payment, which is restricted in some states and often frustrates customers. Dual pricing posts both prices upfront. Visa recognizes it as a compliant safe harbor model.
How It Works in LMS-POS?
Step 01
- Set your discount rate once
- Enter your cash discount percentage (typically 3–4%). The system calculates both prices for every product automatically.
Step 02
- Both prices show at checkout
- The register displays the cash price and the card price automatically. No manual math. No cashier decision required.
Step 03
- Customer picks how they pay
- Cash = lower price applied instantly. Card = card price applied. The correct total locks in based on payment method.
Step 04
- Receipt prints the full breakdown
- Payment method, price applied, and discount amount, all printed clearly for your records and Visa compliance.
