§ 01 — How it works

From shelf to receipt, in one seamless flow.

Three touchpoints — the tag, the terminal, the receipt — each transparently showing both prices at every step of the purchase.

01 — Posted Prices

Every tag shows both.

Signage, shelf tags, menus, and price lists display the card price and the cash price side-by-side. Customers know the difference before they reach checkout.

The POS does the math.

The terminal applies the correct price based on payment method automatically — no manual math, no awkward moments at the counter.

§ 02 — The honest look

Pros & cons, side-by-side.

Straightforward trade-offs. No marketing gloss — just what it takes, and what you get.

Pros

Why merchants choose it
  • +Maximum transparency. Customers see their savings before they buy — trust shows up in your reviews.
  • +Fees recovered in the open. No ambiguity, no hidden surcharges. The savings are the message.
  • +Legal in all 50 states. No state-by-state restrictions, no compliance guesswork.
  • +A quiet nudge toward cash. Customers choose the payment method that costs you less.

Cons

What it takes to run it
  • All posted prices update. Signage, shelf tags, menus, and price lists need to show two prices.
  • Compatible POS required. The terminal has to handle dual-pricing natively.
  • More upfront work than other fee-recovery options — but you only do it once.
  • We do the heavy lifting. DMP handles the rollout end-to-end so you stay open.
§ 03 — Your savings

Dual Pricing offsets 100%
of your merchant services cost.

Plug in your numbers. The fees you currently pay to process cards become savings you keep — recovered in the open, every month.

§ 04 — Why DMP

The full transition, handled.

You shouldn't have to become a payments expert to adopt dual pricing. We run the rollout, you run your business.

  1. 01

    Pricing calculated for you.

    We calculate the card price and the cash price across your catalog so math and margin both work.

  2. 02

    Compatible POS, configured.

    We supply and configure a dual-pricing-ready terminal or POS, so the right price is applied automatically.

  3. 03

    Price tags, produced at the POS.

    In most cases the POS system itself prints your updated shelf tags, menus, and price lists — so the card and cash prices stay in sync with the terminal, automatically. Restaurant needing new menus? DMP has you covered.

  4. 04

    Receipts made compliant.

    Every receipt itemizes both prices and indicates which was applied, in line with requirements.

  5. 05

    Ongoing support, for life.

    Questions, staff training, reprints, policy updates — for as long as you're a DMP account.
