Staten Island Businesses Are Paying $0 in Processing Fees. Here's How.
From St. George to Tottenville, Great Kills to New Springville, Staten Island businesses running cash discount programs are keeping the 2.5–3.5% of every card transaction that used to disappear to processors. Scaler Pay installs a fully compliant cash discount program for your Staten Island business — equipment, signage, and processing included. Payment processing services provided through licensed processing partners.
A Staten Island business processing $45,000/month in card transactions saves $1,125–$1,575/month on a cash discount program — $13,500–$18,900/year in recovered profit. For a small business running on 8–12% margins, that's a meaningful improvement to annual take-home.
