Tips for setting up your cash discount program
There are a few considerations when setting up a cash discount. How will you let your customers know that you offer a cash discount? Have you updated your prices to reflect the card processing price? Let’s explore your options to make the most of this feature.
Update your prices
Make sure your posted “on the shelf” prices reflect your card acceptance costs. You can also have dual pricing that includes the reduced cash discount price, but at a minimum ensure the posted prices include any card processing fees.
For example: If an item costs $10.00 and your processing fee is 4%, set the posted price as $10.42. Set your cash discount to 4% so that when paid with cash, the cost is $10.00.
Signage
Create some signage to inform your customers that you offer a cash discount, especially if you don’t have a customer facing display with your point-of-sale.
Talk it up
Verbally inform your customers at checkout that a discount is available if they pay with cash. Make sure your employees know to mention it to customers during a transaction.

Turn on cash discount
- Log in as an admin to talech Register.
- Navigate to Back Office > Settings > General.
- Select Cash discount under the Payment section.
- Toggle Apply cash discount ON.
- Enter an amount for the cash discount in the Discount amount field. You can use a whole or partial percentage (ex: 1.5%, 2.5%, 3.25%, etc.). You must have a minimum of 1% but can’t exceed a maximum of 5%.
- If you’d like to apply the discount to specific categories only, select Categories and choose which specific categories you want to apply the discount to. If the category includes a gift card product, it will show in the descriptive text under the category.
- Select Back when done.
- Your settings are summarized in the Cash discounts line showing your selections. Cash discounts will now be automatically applied to transactions when customers pay with cash for the categories you selected.

How a cash discount is applied to a transaction
Note: You can’t apply a cash discount to any of the following:
|
How the cash discount works and what your customers see will depend on your setup. If you have a talech Register with the customer facing display (CFD), the cash discount will display on the transaction details screen. If you don’t have a CFD, you’ll have to notify your customer about the cash discount (with signage or verbal reminders at checkout).
Qualified transaction
If the transaction qualifies for a cash discount (see notes section above), the cash discount is automatically applied and shown on the Register and customer facing display.
- At checkout, when cash is selected as the payment type, it automatically applies the discount to the products that qualify. On Register, a summary displays below the payment options showing the discounted amount.
If you have a talech Register with the customer facing display (CFD), your customer sees the cash discount amount in the transaction details.

Disqualified transaction
If the order includes disqualifying items, the summary text below the payments options tells you what disqualified the transaction from the discount. You’d have to remove the items or remedy the issues that are preventing the cash discount from applying for your customer to utilize it.
