The card fee that comes back.

Keep charging your card fee. Bungee returns it to your customer as store credit they come back to spend.

of small businesses already charge a card fee. Customers hate it.

Where the three percent goes.

A customer pays by card.

They hand it over and it runs through your machine. $14.94, exactly like today, on the processor you already have.

Approved in two seconds.

The processor clears the sale, and quietly keeps $0.44 of it for itself. That is the three percent.

Inside every swipe: the fee.

Tear the transaction open and there it is: $0.44 gone from your pocket, every single card sale.

Bungee snaps it back.

The same $0.44 flies into store credit under the customer's phone number. Real money, spendable only at your counter.

The comeback is built in.

Next visit, the balance comes off the bill. A fee you were losing is now the reason they walk back in.

Built for the counter.

No new hardware and no processor change. Bungee runs on the phone or tablet already sitting at your register.

Five seconds per saleAmount, phone number, done. Staff learn it in one shift.
Any processorSquare, Clover, Toast, or a dinosaur terminal. Bungee sits beside it, not inside it.
No card numbers, everThe phone number is the account. Nothing to breach, nothing to comply with.

A 30-day pilot, start to finish.

01

Keep your fee

Your processor, your prices, and your card fee stay exactly as they are. Bungee never touches the payment.

02

Punch in the sale

Enter the amount and the customer's phone number. They see the confirmation: the fee is now their credit.

03

They come back

Next visit, their number pulls up the balance and the credit comes off the bill. No app, no card, no punch holes.

04

Read the numbers

After 30 days you see fees recovered, credit redeemed, and return-visit revenue. Keep it or drop it.

Same recovery. Different reaction.

A card fee alone

  • You recover the processing cost on every card sale.
  • Your customer gets a line on the receipt they resent.
  • The fee buys you nothing after the transaction ends.

A card fee with Bungee

  • You recover the same processing cost on every card sale.
  • Your customer gets the fee back as credit at your store.
  • The fee buys you a reason for them to walk back in.

The pilot measures itself.

Every sale, redemption, and complaint lands on a live dashboard. This one is real, running on sample data from a demo deli.

Sample data. Your dashboard starts at zero and fills up as you use the counter.

Where the fee stings most.

Anywhere customers come back, the credit compounds. The bigger the ticket, the harder it hits.

Delis & coffee

A 3-lunches-a-week regular banks ~$55/yr in credit at your counter.

Auto shops

A $600 brake job hands the customer $18 to spend on the next oil change.

Salons & barbers

Every $90 cut returns $2.70, stacking toward the next appointment.

Restaurants

A $140 dinner for four leaves $4.20 pulling the table back in.

Vets & clinics

A $350 visit banks $10.50 toward the checkup they were going to skip.

Dry cleaners

Weekly $28 tickets quietly build ~$44/yr of reasons not to switch cleaners.

Fair questions.

Is this legal?
Card fees and dual pricing are legal in most states when disclosed properly, and you are already charging one. What Bungee adds is a store-credit program, which is yours to offer, like any gift card. Rules differ by state and card network, so the pilot runs on your existing, already-disclosed fee while our compliance review is completed with payments counsel.
What does the pilot cost?
Nothing. Thirty days, free, and we do the setup. If it works you will see it in your own dashboard, and we will talk about a monthly price then. If it does not, we switch it off and you keep the data.
Do I have to change my processor or POS?
No. Bungee never touches the payment, the card number, or your processor. It runs beside your register on any phone or tablet, and the credit it tracks is issued by you, like a gift card balance.
What stops customers from seeing this as a gimmick?
The money is real. The credit spends like cash at your store, it does not expire during the pilot, and the confirmation screen shows the exact fee amount coming back. That is the honest version of a fee they were already paying.
What happens to the credit if I stop?
Outstanding credit is your promise to your customers, and the dashboard shows the exact total at all times. If you end the pilot, you honor what is outstanding and issue nothing new. Most pilots carry less than fifty dollars of outstanding credit at any moment.

Put your card fee to work.

Create your counter in under a minute. Bookmark it on the register phone, run your next card sale through it, and watch the first credit land.

Instantly: your counter link and owner dashboard, ready at the register.
For 30 days: completely free, every feature, and we help with setup.
After that: $99 a month flat if the numbers earn it. Cancel anytime, your data stays yours.
