See every featureCash Discount Manager raises your prices by the card markup you choose, for example 4%, and gives the same amount back as a discount when a customer pays cash. On POS, the Cash or Card tile shows both totals and applies the cash price in one tap; Apply Cash Discount does it from the smart grid; Custom sale adds open amounts at the card price. Prices change in bulk with a backup first, in every sales channel.
