VizyPay Adds Dual Pricing Program, Enhances Cash Savings for Small Business Owners

VizyPay Adds Dual Pricing Program, Enhances Cash Savings for

VizyPay, a leading payment processing fintech that serves small businesses in rural America, today announces the launch of its proprietary Dual Pricing Program. By expanding its robust lineup of payment solutions for small business owners, VizyPay’s technology significantly lowers or eliminates a majority of credit card processing costs.

Dual pricing improves transparency by offering two prices for customers to choose from: a cash price and a regular price. Historically, the cash price is cheaper because there is not a credit card processing fee incorporated into it. The same structure is used through VizyPay’s technology – a business will present the customer with both a cash price and regular price and the customer can then select their preferred payment method, allowing the option to pay cash and save off the regular price. Businesses also benefit by maintaining 100% of the cash price for every item sold. VizyPay rolled out a similar option with Cash Discount 2.0 and saved business owners over $9 million in unnecessary processing fees in the beginning of 2023 alone.

“We’re all familiar with dual pricing. We’ve seen it perform extremely well at gas stations for decades, and now we’re offering the same solution to small businesses to help them grow,��� said VizyPay CEO and Founder Austin Mac Nab. “Now auto shops, restaurants, salons and more across rural America can utilize dual pricing to positively impact their bottom line as they’re able to save on each item sold at the cash price.”

To implement the Dual Pricing Program, businesses need software or equipment capable of offering dual pricing, like VizyPOS. Business owners then need to update and display cash and regular prices for each inventory, menu or invoice item and replace all prior pricing signage and disclosures with new signage that is program compliant and provided by VizyPay.

“We strive to be a one-stop-shop with easy to implement technology and multiple options that fit the unique needs of each business owner,” said VizyPay Software Developer Brett Dewerff. “The Dual Pricing Program is another way we have fulfilled that commitment with another transparent pricing solution that offers unlimited transactions and avoids annual fees.”

VizyPay’s lineup of technology and payment solutions has won many awards for its excellence. Most recently, VizyPay was recognized by Tearsheet as the Payment Technology Provider of the Year. The fintech’s accolades also include awards like Most Innovative Product of the Year, Fintech Solution, Fastest Growing Tech Company and many more.

About VizyPay

Headquartered in Waukee, Iowa, VizyPay was founded in 2017 by entrepreneurs who each had either significant credit card processing experience or were previously small business owners. Their combined understanding of these different industries created the perfect cocktail for a credit card processing company that could truly look out for the business owner. Making a huge splash nationwide by being honest and simple, VizyPay ranked #918 on the 2022 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in America with a three-year revenue growth of 695%.

Women Small Business Owners Take Fewer Risks, Have Investment Confidence Gaps

Business Wire | October 30, 2023

New research conducted by HerMoney Media and Principal Financial Group reveals a difference in confidence levels between women and men small and midsized business owners (SMBs) when it comes to their outlook for the overall economy, confidence in money management, and attitude toward risk. The research also revealed that women business owners are more focused on driving good employee experiences and outcomes than men. The 2023 State of Women survey from HerMoney, which included more than 500 owners of SMBs, found that nearly half (46%) of women SMB owners are feeling cautious about the U.S. economy over the next year, compared to just a third of men SMB owners (35%). However, this difference isn’t translating to how they feel about their own financial situations. For example, 42% of women SMB owners and 48% of men SMB owners feel optimistic about their personal economies over the next 12 months. Gaps in Financial Confidence When it comes to assessing their own knowledge and confidence about money management and investing, men SMB owners feel much better than women SMB owners. In fact, when examining this trend with an earlier HerMoney survey of employees, for all measures on levels of financial knowledge and confidence, the ranks are as follows: men SMB owners, men employees, women SMB owners, and women employees. “You need a certain amount of knowledge about basic money management in order to successfully run a business day-to-day,” says HerMoney.com CEO Jean Chatzky. “Yet, the fact that women business owners rank their own financial knowledge and confidence at or below the level of men employees is just another piece of evidence showing that women are not giving ourselves credit for the work we're doing on an ongoing basis.” Taking Risks And Navigating The Future Men SMB owners are also much more likely to take risks with their money compared to women. In the event of an economic downturn, nearly half (49%) of women SMB owners would hold tight, but only a third of men (36%) said they would do the same. Moreover, men SMB owners are much more likely to double down on their investments than women (25% vs. 9%). “Access to capital is important, especially during times of increased market volatility. The good news, and something we continue to hear from businesses, is that they’ve built up cash reserves,” says Amy Friedrich, president of benefits and protection at Principal®. “Another trend we’re seeing is the move to cultivate connections within their local business communities. It’s important for small and midsized business leaders to find peers and trusted professionals who can help them navigate the road ahead. As they take care of their finances and employees, if a downturn does occur, they will benefit from the support in an established network.” Women Business Owners Focus on Culture Employees value workplace flexibility1 and purpose-driven work2. The State of Women 2023 survey found that women SMB owners are more cognizant of this trend, rating higher than men the importance of a positive work environment (75% vs. 62%), focus on mental health and well-being (52% vs. 42%), and opportunities for advancement (50% vs. 41%) to employees. However, when it comes to supporting employee financial wellness, women SMB owners are less likely to offer a financial wellness program (56% vs 36%), the most likely reason being they believe they have too few employees to justify a program (66% vs 55%). Men are more likely to cite cost (25% vs 12%). The majority — 77% — of employees surveyed feel it’s important to focus on financial health and well-being in the workplace, compared to 69% of SMBs. “When times get tough, the businesses that I see perform the best are the ones that have the greatest sense of purpose and a clear mission,” says Friedrich. “During a crisis, employees can feel reassured that you and your business stand up for something. Given the economic pressures and financial stress affecting Americans, employees are saying they expect their companies to empower them in all aspects of their lives — emotionally, mentally, and financially.”
