How Axe is Helping the Trade Services Industry
Trades like HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, roofing, and painting were among the first to adopt cash discounting. Simply stated, customers of trade services are accustomed to absorbing the credit card fee. Don’t waste another dollar on unnecessary credit card fees. Your competitors aren’t.
“We met the guys from Axe Payments at an industry trade show. We had heard about cash discounting, but it wasn’t something our old merchant processor offered and changing systems seemed like a hassle. Axe Payments made migrating to their system easy and support has been top-notch.“
– Beth, Landscaping

What Is Included
Axe Payments has developed an exclusive (patented) technology, which eliminates a major portion of total card payment processing costs. The payment terminal software program for the Cash Discount is designed to encourage customers to pay by cash or gift card. As part of the regular standard list product pricing a small service charge (either a fixed amount or percentage) is applied to all sales. A discount is automatically applied when customers pay with cash or gift card. No discount is given when paying by debit card or credit card. The patented software automatically determines all discounts and actions based on payment type.
