Bed-Stuy Business Owners: Your Credit Card Processing Fees Are Taking $3,000–$6,000 a Year From Your Business.
A Caribbean restaurant on Nostrand Ave running $12,000 a month in card sales pays $300–$420 in processing fees every month — invisibly, on autopilot. Scaler Pay's zero-fee cash discount program eliminates those fees completely. Same hardware, same checkout experience, live within one business day.
Independent businesses in Brooklyn that eliminate card processing fees through cash discount programs recover $2,400–$6,000+ per year — money that stays in the business instead of going to a processor.
Based on NYC small-business processing benchmarks — illustrative, not a guaranteed outcome. Payment processing services provided through licensed processing partners.
Bed-Stuy businesses running $8,000–$15,000/month in card sales pay $2,400–$6,300 a year in processing fees. That money is recoverable.
- 01Standard Stripe, Square, and legacy processor rates run 2.5–3.5% per swipe. A barber shop or coffee shop on Halsey St doing $8,000/month in card sales pays $200–$280 every month — $2,400–$3,360 a year — just to accept cards.
- 02Caribbean restaurants, Black-owned boutiques, and bakeries on Fulton St and Nostrand Ave operate on thin margins. Processing fees compound on every transaction, every day, every year.
- 03Cash discount programs are legal in New York State and widely used. You post standard pricing; cash-paying customers receive a clearly disclosed discount at the register. Compliant and transparent.
- 04Most Bed-Stuy businesses can be live on zero-fee processing within 24 hours. The switch is a terminal configuration update — not a hardware swap, not a disruption to your operation.
Live in 3 business days, not months.
