Dual Pricing for lumber yards and hardware stores: $0 card processing
With Empire Dual Pricing, your lumber yard or hardware store pays $0 to accept cards: no processing cost and no monthly fee. That matters most on big contractor tickets. Customers see a card price and a cash price before they pay. We serve brick-and-mortar businesses nationwide.
How it works for your yard
Large tickets mean large processing bills. Dual Pricing takes that cost off your books.
Ring it the same way
Ring sales at the counter the way you do today. Cards pay the posted card price; cash pays the cash price.
Keep the margin
The card price covers the cost of taking cards, so your processing cost is $0 with no monthly fee, no matter the ticket size.

Questions from owners
More answers on our Dual Pricing FAQ.
Does Dual Pricing work on big contractor tickets?
Yes. The card price and cash price are posted up front, so the same rule applies whether the ticket is a box of screws or a load of lumber. Your processing cost stays at $0.
What does Dual Pricing cost my store?
$0. Empire Dual Pricing has no processing cost and no monthly fee for the merchant. If you'd rather not run Dual Pricing, we offer interchange-plus at 0.20% + 5¢ per transaction.
Is Dual Pricing legal in my state?
Dual pricing and cash discount rules vary by state, and we set it up the compliant way for each one. In New York, for example, both the card price and the cash price are posted before checkout under General Business Law §518. This is general information, not legal advice.
