How the Cash Discount Program Works
In a city where Western Michigan University students, hospital shift workers, and manufacturing employees depend on quick cash access for daily transactions, a cash discount program removes the friction that card fees create for your bottom line. Our system automatically applies a small service fee to all card transactions. When a customer in downtown Kalamazoo, near the Bronson Boulevard corridor, or throughout the Westnedge Avenue commercial strip chooses to pay with cash instead, the service fee is waived, giving them an immediate incentive to reach for their wallet. You keep the full sale amount—no more paying out of pocket for card processing fees that cut into margins
.
The strategy works especially well in Kalamazoo’s hospitality and entertainment venues, where cash transactions are common among the city’s significant student population and the regular visitors drawn to craft beer tourism and festival events like Art Hop. A transparent cash discount approach respects both your operating costs and your customers’ preferences without requiring across-the-board price increases that hurt your competitiveness in the city’s revitalized downtown and neighborhood business districts.
✔ 100% compliant with Visa, Mastercard, and processor guidelines
