As Liquor Stores seek to recoup interchange fees via surcharging, rolling out Dual Pricing with CloudRetailer has some obvious benefits
- Transparency builds acceptance and a positive experience. Consumers will pay willingly when made aware, giving merchants an instant bottom-line boost without driving away customers.
- Built in Loyalty program enables you to not only “give some back” but also build a strong customer base while increasing average ticket size.
