Customer-facing pricing

Review how cash and card pricing is shown to customers before checkout, including menus, shelf labels, invoices, quotes, receipts, and signage.

Clover POS workflow

Review the Clover checkout flow, receipt wording, staff prompts, customer-facing display, tax handling, tips, and reporting before launch.

Processor-approved setup

The program should match the approved processor settings, card-network requirements, receipt configuration, and business checkout process.

Cash Discount vs Dual Pricing

Cash Discount and Dual Pricing are related payment-pricing approaches, but they should not be treated as identical. A Cash Discount gives customers the applicable lower price or discount when paying with cash, while Dual Pricing presents payment-based prices such as a cash price and a card price before checkout.

Cash Discount

Customers receive the applicable lower price or discount when paying with cash. The approved setup should clearly explain the pricing, signage, receipts, and checkout workflow.

Dual Pricing

Customers are shown payment-based prices, such as a cash price and a card price, before checkout. The approved setup should keep those prices clear and consistent.

Why disclosure and receipt wording matter

Customer-facing pricing programs can create confusion if the customer only sees the difference at the end of checkout. The business should review how the price is displayed before payment, how the receipt explains the transaction, and how staff explain the program.

Card-network rules and state requirements can affect how a payment-pricing program must be presented. Businesses should confirm the approved setup with the processor before going live.

Before checkout

Customers should be able to understand payment-based pricing before choosing how to pay.

At checkout

Staff should know how to explain the program consistently and avoid confusing customers.

On the receipt

Receipt wording should match the approved program structure and the way prices were displayed.
