hello, what is a cash discount, just a reduction in the amount the end customer pays?

Hi hmunoz, thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. So here's a link: https://www.paystri.com/blog/cash-discount and here's the elevator pitch:

What is Cash Discount payment processing?

Cash Discount is an alternative to traditional payment processing that provides choice while saving businesses money. Here's an overview of how it works.

#

So essentially, a discount or reduction of price is provided to customers who purchase using cash rather than credit cards but in order to participate as a cash discount business, merchants must increase a price to all products purchased.

#

and if customer pays with credit card, the checkout fields should reflect the typical fields + a field named "cash discount" were it just reflects the % of that "fee" if you will

#

i.e.,

Cash discount % = 4%

On the checkout form:
Total order = 104.00
Cash discount = 4.00 (which is 4% cash discount)

#

Total minus Cash Discount = 100

#

so basically it's the ability to show those fields.

I'm more interested in knowing, if our website is collecting that information/that field, how can we best pass it to Stripe? i don't see that field anywhere where we can integrate it

#

and I learn in gohighlevel.com, which is a Clickfunnel type of provider, that they have a direct integration with Stripe where they can do Cash Discount with their clients and they pass these fields. I just don't know anyone there that wants to share this information

yeah sorry, I'm still not fully clear. What does it mean to

how can we best pass it to Stripe?

do you need it on the Checkout page? Just as some metadata? like Stripe has no feature for Cash Discount, so I assume you're integrating to handle this discount yourself

#

when i say "how to pass it to Stripe", I mean, how should I integrate my system if I'm using direct integration opposed to inline

#

so I would need the checkout to basically show these fields on the image below:

#

#

#

I found that last image on Google but that's basically

👋 I'm hopping in since @karmic lodge had to head out - give me a minute to catch up

#

All of this depends on how you intend to integrate with Stripe - all of this will look different depending on whether you're using Checkout, Payment Element, etc.

@robust burrow Just wanted to check in and see if my last response made sense/if you had any other questions?

robust burrow Sep 7, 2022, 9:54 PM

#

ok so I believe it's checkout

#

My team actually has merchants (our customers) that want us to integrate in both option

#

With Payment Element, it would be totally up to you to build your own UI that would display the card discount + fee

#

For Checkout, you'd either want to model this as separate line items, but you could also model the discount by creating a separate Discount that you can pass in when the Session is created (https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-discounts)
