Merchant questions

Frequently asked questions.

Is cash discount the same as a surcharge?

They are not identical. Program structure, posted prices, card treatment, signage, and requirements can differ. Merchants should review the specific proposed program.

Will my POS support a cash discount program?

Compatibility varies. Epic can confirm whether the selected POS, terminal, processor, receipts, and reporting support the intended configuration.

Can I compare cash discount with traditional processing?

Yes. Epic can prepare a side-by-side proposal using your volume, current costs, equipment, and proposed program.
