Clearent Is Your Partner for Alternative Pricing
Safe and Secure Alternative Pricing Programs
With the Empower Program, you can apply a Surcharge or Non-Cash Adjustment on each transaction or give customers a discount for paying with cash.
Either way, we’ll help you legally share your processing fees with your customers so you can keep more money in your pocket each month.
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.
