    [05]_FAQ

    Questions, answered.

    Yes. Cash discount programs are legal in New York State under GBL §518 and in all 50 states. East Meadow 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. An East Meadow restaurant at $20,000/month saves $520/month — $6,240/year. A salon at $10,000/month saves $260/month — $3,120/year. A retailer or auto shop at $30,000/month saves $780/month — $9,360/year. All figures use the 2.6% average processing rate.

    Most East Meadow businesses are live within 3 business days of approval. Apply online in about 2 minutes, we review and call you within one business day to confirm rates, your terminal ships pre-configured, and you start processing. No on-site visit required.

    Restaurants, salons, nail salons, barbershops, auto repair shops, retail stores, and medical and dental offices are the most common. Any East Meadow business along Hempstead Turnpike or throughout Nassau County that processes meaningful card volume qualifies for zero-fee processing.

    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.
