What is a Cash Discount Program?

Saltsha Prime, a feature included in the Saltsha suite, provides the option for merchants to utilize a cash discount program and charge a different price for cash versus credit card payments. This offsets the transaction fees for the merchant by collecting a percentage on every credit card payment. Saltsha Prime provides you with access to programs and technology that make this happen easily for you.

Included with all the benefits of offering a cash discount program, there are a few requirements:

Merchants who enroll in a cash discount program must display the provided signage that states that prices reflect a
cash discount. Also, the prices set within the cash discount cannot exceed the cost of acceptance for the card.
