Real-Time Discount
What is Real-Time Discount
Real-Time Payments is an exciting new service brought about by the Faster Payments Initiative of the FedNow ™ US Federal Reserve providing payments that are instant, final and secure. FedNow, Real-Time Discount and Real-Time instant payments, are defined simply as: Irrevocably collected funds in a bank account and usable immediately by the owner of the account. Our "Good Funds" payment gateway allows for instant real-time digital payments that are immediate, irrevocable, intra-bank and/or interbank account-to-account (A2A) transfers that utilize a real-time and text messaging system connected to every transaction participant through all U.S.-based financial institutions.
Real-time discounts on sales prices can be an attractive feature for payers when payees offer lower merchant pricing through FedNow and RTP. This can be achieved by passing on the savings from reduced transaction fees to the payer. Here's how this can work:
- Lower Merchant Fees: Payees (merchants) can benefit from lower transaction fees using FedNow and RTP compared to traditional payment methods. These savings can be passed on to payers as discounts on sales prices.
- Real-Time Discounts: When a payer makes a payment using FedNow or RTP, the system can automatically apply a discount to the sales price in real-time. This can be done at the point of sale, online checkout, or during the invoicing process.
- Increased Incentives: Offering real-time discounts can incentivize payers to choose FedNow or RTP for payments, increasing the adoption of these payment methods.
- Transparency and Marketing: Merchants can advertise these discounts as a benefit of using real-time payments, making the pricing structure more transparent and attractive to customers.
Implementation Steps
- Integrate Payment Systems: Ensure that your payment systems, such as POS, E-commerce platforms, and invoicing software, are integrated with FedNow and RTP to support real-time payments.
- Set Discount Rules: Define the discount rules within your payment processing system. For example, you can set a percentage discount or a fixed amount off the sales price for transactions completed using FedNow or RTP.
- Automatic Application: Configure the system to automatically apply the discount at the time of payment. This ensures that the payer receives the benefit instantly.
- Update Marketing and Communication: Inform customers about the available discounts and the benefits of using real-time payments through FedNow and RTP. This can be done via marketing campaigns, website updates, and direct communication.
