Dual Pricing POS System | Stop Paying Card Fees Out of Your Own Margin

LMS-POS automatically shows two prices at checkout, a lower cash price and a standard card price. Customers choose how they pay. You stop absorbing fees that don't have to be yours.

What Is Dual Pricing?

Dual pricing means your POS shows two prices side by side at checkout, one for cash, one for card. The card price is your posted price. The cash price is lower. Customers see both before they pay. No hidden fees. No surprise charges at the register.

​

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.
