A bar processing $30,000/month in credit card sales can save $750–$1,050 per month — or $9,000–$12,600 per year — by switching to the EDGE dual pricing program.
Is the EDGE program legal for bars and restaurants in Pennsylvania?
Yes. Dual pricing is legal in Pennsylvania and compliant with Visa, Mastercard, and Discover card network rules when implemented correctly with proper signage and transparent pricing.
