    [05]_NY COMPLIANCE

    Cash Discount Is Legal in New York — Here's What That Means for Smithtown Businesses

    Cash discounting is legal in New York State under New York cash discount compliance (GBL §518). The law requires merchants to display both the cash price and card price — a properly structured cash discount program satisfies this by design.

    • 01No surcharge risk — Cash discounting is not a surcharge. It carries none of the card-network restrictions that apply to surcharging.
    • 02Compliant signage included — Scaler Pay provides dual-price signage with every terminal. Post it at entry and at the register — that's the full compliance requirement.
    • 03Applies to all card types — Unlike surcharging, cash discounting applies to credit and debit cards alike. No carve-outs, no exceptions.
    [06]_FAQ

    Questions, answered.

    Yes. Cash discount programs are legal in New York State under GBL §518 and in all 50 states. Smithtown businesses must display both the cash price and card price at the point of entry and point of sale. Scaler Pay provides compliant dual-price signage with every terminal — the compliance requirement is fully handled.

    Savings depend on your monthly card volume. A Smithtown restaurant at $20,000/month saves $520/month — $6,240/year. A salon at $10,000/month saves $260/month — $3,120/year. An auto shop or retailer at $30,000/month saves $780/month — $9,360/year. Route 25A businesses benefit most from eliminating the high per-swipe costs on local card volume.

    Restaurants, salons, nail salons, barbershops, auto repair shops, retail stores, and convenience stores along Route 25A and throughout Smithtown Township all benefit. Any Smithtown business processing meaningful card volume qualifies for zero-fee processing.

    Yes. Scaler Pay serves all Long Island businesses including Smithtown and surrounding communities such as St. James, Kings Park, Nesconset, and Hauppauge. As part of our Long Island cash discount program, all Nassau and Suffolk County businesses qualify for same-week setup.

    A surcharge adds a fee on top of your posted price for card payers. A cash discount starts from a higher base price and offers a reduction for cash payers. Under New York GBL §518, merchants must post both prices clearly. Cash discounting is legal in all 50 states and applies to all card types. Scaler Pay's program is a compliant cash discount — not a surcharge.
