Dual pricing, set up for you
BRIDGEVANTI sets up dual pricing from start to finish: the processing program, your terminal or POS, your signs, menus, invoices and receipts, and a quick walkthrough for your staff. Customers who pay by card cover the processing cost, so most of your card fees come off your statement. You work with Jacob directly, before and after you go live.
What is dual pricing, in one sentence?
Every item or service shows two prices, a cash price and a card price, and customers who choose to pay by card pay the card price, which covers the processing cost. It works the way gas stations have shown cash and credit prices for years.
What does BRIDGEVANTI set up for you?
- The pricing program with our processor, matched to how you sell.
- Your terminal or POS, programmed to show both prices and charge the right one. Qualifying programs include a terminal or POS system at no cost.
- Signs, menus, quotes and invoices that show both prices clearly.
- Receipts that show which price was used.
- A walkthrough for your staff, so everyone can explain it in one sentence: "We show a cash price and a card price, and you choose."
- Ongoing help from Jacob's direct line, not a call center.

Frequently asked questions.
What does BRIDGEVANTI set up for dual pricing?
We set up the pricing program with our processor, program your terminal or POS to show and charge the right price, set up your signs, menus, invoices and receipts, and train your staff. Then we stay your direct contact afterward.
Do I need new equipment for dual pricing?
Your terminal or POS needs to show two prices and print clear receipts. Qualifying programs include a terminal or POS system at no cost, and if you already own equipment, tell us the model and we'll check whether it works.
Will my customers be upset?
Complaints usually come from surprises, not the pricing itself. When both prices are shown clearly before someone pays, most customers barely notice. In our experience, customers at bars, lounges and quick-service restaurants generally don't mind dual pricing at all.
How much will I save with dual pricing?
Most of what you pay in card processing today comes off your statement, because customers who pay by card cover that cost. Your exact number depends on your current fees, so our free statement analysis shows you what you pay today and what changes.
How is dual pricing different from surcharging?
Surcharging adds a fee on top of the price at checkout when someone pays by credit card. Dual pricing shows a cash price and a card price up front, and the customer chooses. They follow different rules, and many owners find dual pricing easier for customers to accept.
Can I switch to a different pricing program later?
Yes. If dual pricing isn't the right fit, we can move you to interchange-plus or flat-rate pricing. We walk through all three before you start.
