# Cash discount best practices

Set up and operate a cash discount program with clear pricing, signage, and staff training.

A cash discount reduces the listed price when customers pay with cash. It can help offset card processing fees.

Cash discount programs must comply with card brand rules and applicable federal and state laws.

### Display the credit price

Display the credit price for every item or service.

If your listed prices already include card processing costs, offer a cash discount from those prices. If they do not, update your inventory or service prices to reflect the credit price.

Display both the cash and credit prices to reduce customer confusion. Xplor Pay's Dual Pricing feature can show both prices on the terminal and receipt.

### Train your employees

Train employees before you start the program. Employees should explain that the receipt shows the cash discount when customers pay with cash.

Use these training practices:

* Use role-playing and discussions to build confidence.
* Let employees ask questions and share feedback.
* Recognize employees who explain the program correctly.
