    Stop Paying to Accept Credit Cards on Staten Island.

    Every time a customer taps a card at your Staten Island register, 2.5–3.5% of that sale leaves your business. On $50,000/month in card sales, that's $1,250–$1,750 gone — before you've paid a single bill. Scaler Pay installs a fully compliant cash discount program that shifts that cost off your P&L entirely, so you keep every dollar your customers spend. Payment processing services provided through licensed processing partners.

    A Staten Island service business processing $35,000/month in card transactions pays $875–$1,225 in monthly fees on standard processing. On Scaler Pay, those fees disappear. Over 12 months, that's $10,500–$14,700 returned to the business — with no reduction in card acceptance or customer convenience.

    [02]_The per-swipe drain

    Your credit card processor is billing you thousands every month that you don't have to pay.

    • 01Standard interchange-plus or flat-rate processing costs Staten Island businesses 2.5–3.5% of every card transaction — on top of monthly minimums and equipment fees.
    • 02A Staten Island deli, diner, or retail shop processing $40k/month in cards pays $1,000–$1,400 in monthly fees — nearly $17,000/year for the privilege of accepting Visa.
    • 03Square and Stripe charge 2.6% + $0.10 per transaction — higher than interchange-plus for most businesses above $10k/month in volume.
    • 04Amex and premium rewards cards cost even more to accept, often 3.0–3.5%, and your current processor likely isn't surfacing that line item clearly.
    • 05These fees compound silently — most Staten Island business owners don't calculate the annual cost until they're reviewing tax records.

    [05]_FAQ

    Questions, answered.

    Yes. A cash discount program offers a discounted price to cash-paying customers, while a surcharge adds a fee for card use. Both achieve the same outcome, but cash discount programs have broader acceptance and fewer regulatory restrictions in New York.

    A flat program fee of $25–$45/month — no percentages, no per-transaction fees, no monthly minimums. The exact fee depends on your business type and volume.

    Rarely, with proper signage. The fee is disclosed at the door and at the register before the transaction. Most customers are unbothered — the same fee appears at gas stations, parking facilities, and a growing number of local businesses across Staten Island.
