Give clients an honest choice with a clear cash price and card price at checkout, and offset your processing costs — all handled automatically inside Astra.
Dual pricing is one of the clearest, most transparent ways for a salon to manage the cost of accepting cards. Instead of hiding fees or adding surcharges, you simply show two prices — a cash price and a card price — and let the client choose. Astra's dual pricing POS presents both prices side by side at checkout, automatically and consistently, so clients always know their options and you offset your processing costs.
Transparency is the whole point. When a client can see the cash price and the card price plainly, there is nothing hidden and nothing to explain awkwardly. Many clients choose to pay cash to take the lower price, which reduces your card volume and the fees that come with it, while those who prefer the convenience of a card simply pay the card price.
For salons that want a straightforward, upfront way to protect their margins, Astra makes dual pricing easy to run and easy for clients to understand.

Dual pricing is part of your POS, not a separate device to manage.
Clients appreciate honesty at the register, and dual pricing delivers it. By showing a cash price and a card price together, you give every client a clear, upfront choice rather than a surprise fee. That openness builds trust while still helping you manage the real cost of card acceptance.
Astra handles the mechanics so the program is effortless. The correct price applies automatically based on the payment method, the pricing is displayed clearly, and the receipt reflects the choice. Your team never has to calculate anything or explain a hidden charge, because there is nothing hidden.
The more clients who choose the cash price, the less you pay in processing fees — a simple, transparent way to keep more of every sale.
Nothing damages goodwill like a surprise fee discovered on a receipt. Dual pricing avoids that entirely by putting both prices in front of the client before they pay. Astra displays them clearly and prints them on the receipt, so clients feel respected and informed — and that trust keeps them coming back.
Every client who opts for the cash price reduces your card volume and the fees attached to it. Across a busy month, that shift adds up to meaningful savings on processing costs, money that flows straight to your bottom line without raising your prices on anyone.
Astra applies the correct price automatically based on how the client pays, so your staff never has to do math or manage two menus. The program runs identically on every ticket and every station, staying accurate even during your busiest rushes.
