cash versus credit price

BoyScoutPopcorn — Tue, 19 Jul 2016 03:07:40 GMT

How do I manage a separate price for cash versus credit for the same item? I want to do inventory management on it so a price point isn't right because then it tracks it as separate items. We are a non-profit and the sales are all done by volunteers so I need it to be easy and error free. I tried a "credit price" tax but that is cumbersome and I can guarantee not all my volunteers will get it right. Ideas? Thank you!

I do the same thing but it is tricky (both for your volunteers and legally depending on where you are). See this thread for more details.

It is usually better to offer a cash discount instead of charging more for credit cards. You can set the "base" price to be the higher amount (to cover the credit card fees) then a "Cash" option to lower it back down. See my post in the linked thread for all the details.

Thanks! I will try the cash discount idea.
