Questions?
How will customers react to paying a small fee?
Customers may be shocked to learn how much business owners actually pay in processing fees. Bringing awareness to this added expense will not only help your bottom line, but help the industry as a whole push back on ever increasing processing fees from card brands. Studies have shown that customers are willing to pay a small fee for the convenience of paying with card. A study by the National Retail Federation found that most customers are willing to pay a small fee to use a credit card. Similarly, a study by the Federal Reserve found that most consumers are willing to pay a fee to use a credit card. There are many benefits consumers receive by paying with card even though it costs a small fee, some customers may prefer to use a credit card for the rewards, purchase protection benefits, or just the connivance of paying for the transaction 30-60-90 days later.
Is this legal?
Yes. Dual Pricing is accepted by all card brands and legal in all 50 states. Some states or principalities may have additional requirements for signage or communications with customers prior to sale. As always, we recommend business owners to stay up to date with any local or state laws to be sure you are complying with any and all additional requirements. Dual Pricing follows the Durbin Amendment and, specifically, the section related to the “In-Kind Incentive” clearly protects programs such as the “Non-Cash Adjustment,” or “Dual Pricing” in the event that such programs made their way to the courts. In addition, the Expressions Hair Design case that went all the way to the Supreme court validated that the court believes a merchant has the right to communicate their prices however they like, provided the communication is clear. The practice of both “cash discounting” and the “in-kind incentive” are protected. The card brands in particular are not allowed to interfere with these practices, either directly or via their merchant contracts. Legal Disclaimer Neither Zulio nor the information, opinions, or ideas shared are to be considered legal advice. All parties understand that the various concepts contained require additional legal / professional advice to properly implement.
What is the difference bewteen dual pricing and surcharging?
Surcharging refers to the practice of passing processing fees to the customer for credit cards only. The business owner still pays for debit card transaction fees. Dual Pricing (offered by Zulio) wraps processing fees into your total price by offering customers a “cash price” and a “card price” giving customers choice in how they pay, eliminating your processing fees entirely.
How much more will the "card price" be vs. the "cash price"?
Zulio increases your regular price 4.00% to cover all processing fees. Want to keep $50.00? - Customer pays $52.00 - Your deposit is exactly $50.00. We will also be offering ACH payment options at a reduced cost as an alternative to customers. (Coming Soon)
