    Great Kills Businesses Are Keeping 100% of Every Card Sale.

    From Great Kills Harbor to Tottenville and Huguenot, the South Shore of Staten Island runs on small businesses — restaurants, delis, salons, auto shops, home service companies, and local retail. Every one of them is paying 2.5–3.5% on every card transaction to processors who earn that margin automatically, every month, whether your business is thriving or struggling. Scaler Pay installs a fully compliant cash discount program that ends that fee for good. Payment processing services provided through licensed processing partners.

    A South Shore Staten Island business processing $40,000/month in card transactions recaptures $1,000–$1,400/month — $12,000–$16,800/year — by switching to a cash discount program. For a business running on 10–15% net margins, that's the equivalent of a 2–4% revenue increase with no additional sales.

    [02]_The South Shore fee drain

    Great Kills and South Shore businesses are paying processing fees that their competitors are no longer paying.

    • 01A Great Kills restaurant or pizzeria doing $45k/month in card volume pays $1,125–$1,575 in monthly processing fees — $13,500–$18,900/year straight to card networks.
    • 02South Shore service businesses — plumbers, electricians, HVAC companies, landscapers — process large-ticket card payments every day and pay the percentage on every single one.
    • 03Hylan Boulevard is one of Staten Island's busiest commercial corridors. Businesses along it processing high card volume have the most to gain from eliminating fees.
    • 04Great Kills's tight community means that when a local business cuts costs and stays competitive, the businesses that haven't feel it.
    • 05A cash discount program costs $25–$45/month flat — far less than a single week of typical processing fees for most South Shore businesses.

    [05]_FAQ

    Questions, answered.

    Yes — food service businesses have among the highest card volumes relative to average ticket size, which makes them ideal candidates for cash discount programs. The monthly savings are typically the largest for restaurants.

    Auto shops and home services are strong fits. High-ticket card transactions — a $1,200 repair or a $3,000 HVAC installation — mean the percentage fee is significant per transaction. Eliminating it has an immediate impact.

    Positively, with proper door and register signage. South Shore customers encounter cash pricing at gas stations and local businesses throughout the area. Clear upfront disclosure is all it takes.

    Yes — we serve all of Staten Island's South Shore including Great Kills, Tottenville, Huguenot, Prince's Bay, Pleasant Plains, and Richmond Valley.
