Clearent Is Your Partner for Alternative Pricing
Safe and Secure Alternative Pricing Programs

Enable Zero-Cost Processing
True Cash Discount
A business offers a discount to customers who pay by cash, check or store-branded gift card, instead of with a credit or debit card.
Non-Cash Adjustment
Prices have a built-in cash discount incentive. Customers who pay with credit and signature debit cards do not receive the discount and will see an adjustment on their receipt.
Surcharging
A business owner applies a fee to a customer who pays by credit. Business owners must follow additional steps to be in compliance with the card brands.
