Zero Cost Processing in Phoenix, AZ!

What Is Zero Cost Processing?

Zero Cost Processing is a payment structure where your customers help cover the cost of credit card processing fees instead of you paying them.

There are two common approaches:

• Cash discount program – customers pay a slightly higher price for card payments, while cash customers get a discount
• Surcharging – a small fee is added to card transactions (where legally allowed)

This approach is designed to offset the cost of:

• Credit card processing
• Debit card processing
• Payment network fees

Instead of absorbing those costs, your business passes them in a transparent and compliant way.

How Zero Cost Processing Works

Let’s break this down simply.

1. A customer pays with a credit card
2. A small fee is added to the transaction (or a cash discount is applied)
3. That fee covers the processing cost
4. You receive your full product or service amount

This works alongside modern payment systems like:

• EMV chip card readers
• NFC / contactless payment technology
• Mobile card readers
• Payment gateways for online transactions

At Good Payments Merchant Services, we set up everything so it runs automatically. You don’t have to manually calculate anything.

Local Phoenix Advantage

Working with a local provider matters.

We serve businesses across:

• Scottsdale
• Peoria

And key areas like:

• Roosevelt Row Arts District

Why does this matter?

Because local businesses have local needs. A restaurant in Tempe doesn’t operate the same way as a retail shop in Scottsdale.

We understand those differences and help you set up a system that fits your business.

Security, Compliance, and Trust

Let’s talk about something important.

Payment processing involves sensitive data. That’s why security and compliance aren’t optional.

At Good Payments Merchant Services, we focus on:

• PCI DSS compliance
• End-to-end encryption
• Tokenization and secure data handling
• Fraud detection systems
• Secure payment gateways

Your customers’ data stays protected. Your business stays compliant.

We also work with established banking partners and processors connected to major networks like Visa and Mastercard.

Who Benefits Most From Zero Cost Processing?

Zero Cost Processing works best for businesses with regular card transactions.

It’s a strong fit if you run:

• Restaurants and cafes
• Retail stores
• Service businesses
• Contractors and field service providers
• Salons and wellness businesses
• E-commerce stores

It may not be ideal if:

• You have very low transaction volumes
• You mostly deal in B2B invoices or large ACH payments
• Your customers strongly resist card fees

If you’re unsure, we can walk through your numbers and help you decide.

Common Mistakes Business Owners Make

Here’s what we see all the time.

1. Ignoring processing fees

People assume fees are small. But over a year, they add up fast.

2. Choosing the cheapest provider

Low rates often come with hidden fees or poor support.

3. Not asking about compliance

If your setup isn’t compliant, you could face penalties.

4. Not understanding the pricing model

Some providers make things confusing. We keep it simple and clear.

Real-World Example
