"I was skeptical about how clients would react. Turns out most of them don't even mention it. We saved enough in the first year to upgrade our laser suite."

Why Medspas Are Switching to EmeraldPay

High-Ticket = High Fees

A $500 filler treatment costs you $15–20 in fees. A $3,000 laser package? That's $90–120 gone. Multiply across every treatment, every month.

Keep 100% of Revenue

Cash discounting eliminates processing fees entirely. That's $18,000–$50,000+ back in your pocket every year.

Clients Appreciate the Choice

Clients see a clear posted price and a cash discount option. It's the same model they see at gas stations—transparent and familiar.

What Medspa Owners Ask

"Won't My Clients Mind?"

This is the #1 question we hear. Here's why it's a non-issue for the vast majority of medspas.

Q Won't premium clients think this looks cheap?

Cash discounting is everywhere—gas stations, restaurants, medical offices. It's not a new concept for consumers. The posted price stays the same for card users, and cash clients simply get a small discount. Nothing about your brand or pricing changes.

Q Isn't this just adding a fee to credit cards?

No—and the distinction matters. Surcharging adds a penalty. Cash discounting offers a reward. Your posted price is the card price. Cash clients pay less. It's framed as a benefit, not a punishment, which is why it's treated differently under the law.

Q What do I tell my front desk team?

The script is simple: "We offer a discount if you'd like to pay with cash today." That's it. Most clients won't even ask about it.

Q What if someone does complain?

In practice, complaints are rare. But if a client pushes back, your team can simply process their card at the posted price—which is the same price they'd have paid before you switched. No one pays more than they would have otherwise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is cash discounting legal for medspas?

Yes—cash discounting is legal in all 50 states. It's been upheld by courts and is explicitly permitted by card brand rules. Unlike surcharging, there are no state-by-state restrictions or registration requirements.

How is this different from surcharging?

Surcharging adds a fee to credit card transactions and is prohibited in some states. Cash discounting displays the card price as your standard price and offers a discount for cash. It's psychologically positive (a reward, not a penalty) and has no legal restrictions.

What equipment do I need?

EmeraldPay provides a pre-configured Clover terminal that automatically calculates and displays the cash discount. It arrives ready to use—just plug it in and connect to your network.

How quickly can I get started?

Most medspas are fully set up and saving money within 48–72 hours. We handle equipment shipping and terminal configuration. You apply, get approved, and go live.

What are the terms?

We'll walk you through pricing and terms during the application process. Everything is straightforward and transparent—no hidden fees, no surprises.

Do I need to change my prices?

Your posted prices stay the same for card-paying clients. The only change is that cash clients now see a small discount. Card clients pay exactly what they've always paid—and you stop losing 3–4% on every transaction.
