East Harlem Business Owners: Stop Paying $200–$400 a Month in Credit Card Processing Fees.
A panadería on 116th Street running $10,000 a month in card sales pays $250–$350 in processing fees — every single month, invisibly, forever. Scaler Pay's zero-fee cash discount program eliminates those fees entirely, keeps your margins intact, and goes live in one business day. No contracts.
Small businesses in New York City that switch to cash discount programs eliminate 100% of their card processing costs while maintaining card acceptance — recovering $2,000–$6,000 annually on average.
Based on NYC small-business processing benchmarks — illustrative, not a guaranteed outcome. Payment processing services provided through licensed processing partners.
East Harlem small businesses pay $2,400–$5,000 a year in card processing fees that a zero-fee program eliminates entirely.
- 01Standard processing rates run 2.5–3.5% per transaction. A bodega or Latin restaurant doing $10,000/month in card sales pays $250–$350 every month — $3,000–$4,200 a year — just to accept cards.
- 02Restaurants, panaderías, hair salons, and clothing boutiques on 116th St and Lexington Ave operate on tight margins. Processing fees compound on every sale and every season — that money belongs in your business.
- 03Cash discount programs are legal in New York State. Customers who pay by card see the standard price; customers who pay cash receive a posted discount at the register. Transparent, compliant, and widely used.
- 04Most East Harlem businesses can switch to zero-fee processing within one business day — the same hardware, the same checkout experience, no disruption to service or customers.
