The Biggest Objections

“I don’t want to charge all that money”

Many merchants see 4% but hear $4.00. They believe that adding a small non-cash
adjustment will drive their prices way up and drive away customers.
The Facts:

  • $10.00 average ticket = non-cash adjustment is just 40 cents
  • $20.00 average ticket = non cash adjustment is just 80 cents
  • $50.00 average ticket = non cash adjustment is 2 dollars

“I don’t want to lose customers”

Merchants believe adding a small non-cash adjustment will drive their customers away.

The Facts:

  • $20,000 in processing with a $20 average ticket = 1000 sales
  • If they lost 1% of sales that would equal $200 at the register and likely $50 in total profit.
  • The merchant would still be up approximately $5oo in processing savings
  • which they could use to advertise their business and draw in more customers

“My competitors aren’t doing this”

Merchants believe adding a small non-cash adjustment will put them at a competitive disadvantage
The Facts:

  • Customers are creatures of habit. They tend to purchase from the same businesses over and over again. How many customers shop in multiple locations for the same products?
  • Customers like familiar products and services. Do they offer products, services, specials, sales, happy hours that their competitor doesn’t?
  • Customers like convenience. Your location matters as much as your pricing

“What if I don’t like this program?”

Merchants are concerned with making a bad decision they are stuck with The Facts:

  • Most merchants that switch to Cash Discounting stay with the cash discount program
  • Any merchant that wants to switch back to traditional processing can at any point, although Bankcard Solutions recommends merchants try the program for 90 days first
