Lately, I have been seeing more people swearing by Count Down, not sure if they are adding bonus time to get more ticket sales.
I am currently at $4 dollars for 4 Minutes to start and $1/min after.

My average ticket sales are under 10 dollars, get a lot of $5-8 dollar sales.

Would going to Count Down be better; given options like $5 for 5 mins, $10 for 11 mins, $14 for 16 mins, and $17 for 20 mins?

Or can can Credit Card Terminals like Monex Group and Nayax simultaneously do both Count up and Count down? Where the customer chooses?

I am trying to experiment with my credit card sales to encourage more use. (Has anyone done have their bays count up and the other half count down)

With Dixmor timers I don't think bonus time works with Cryptopay.

I don't see how count down would yield better revenue, as it caps the spend per customer. Count up allows them to spend more money if they choose. I have a $19 max on my crypto pay and it's hit quite often. You should have great results at $1 per minute.

I have count up on my MONEX readers, wouldn't go back to count down. I don’t think it can do both but not sure.

count up is best imo.

customer can relax and wash at a comfortable pace, vs racing around, stressed out about the time running out.

it's a fact that is proven in revenue lists in the crypropay portal.
