Cash discount

Card price is the regular posted price. Cash receives the reduction.

If a lower regular price is posted and card cost is added later, that behavior can be treated as surcharge logic instead.

Display formats cited by Visa

  • Display only the card price per item.
  • Or display both card and cash prices side-by-side per item.
  • Ensure the final card bill reflects those displayed prices directly.

Control checklist for operators

  • Confirm menu tags, shelf labels, and online pricing show the regular card price clearly.
  • Confirm POS discount logic is tied to cash payment type only.
  • Confirm staff script matches posted pricing language at checkout.
  • Retain screenshots and sample receipts for internal compliance records.
