I have an event that has a base price of $180, but if they pay in cash or by check it’s $5 off. Do I have to change the base price to $175 or can I just add in a price modifier to discount $5. And how am I able to apply that to the attendees if they have already purchased?

The price modifier could work, or just add a new ticket where the price is $175. Then you can use the Attendee Mover add-on to move existing attendees to the new lower priced ticket.

If I was to go with the first option…. And the attendee comes in to pay with cash. How do I apply the price modifier to a transaction in the backend then when I apply payment. I get to choose “Cash Delivered Physically”, so how do I apply it here?

Price modifiers are added to tickets before any registrations take place. They cannot be retroactively applied to existing tickets.
You’d actually need to set up a new ticket with the price modifier, then use the attendee mover to move that registration to the new ticket.

Is that out of beta now?
Currently, I have invoice option if they want to pay in cash/check in person. How do I ensure that the price modifier reduces the cost when they select Invoice to pay with cash?
I have set up in my Pricing, In Cash or by Check with $5 discount. So how does that work when they register online, but comes into my office to pay in cash or by check?

No, but that’s the one solution we offer to retroactively change a price for an existing registration.
How do I ensure that the price modifier reduces the cost when they select Invoice to pay with cash?
It will not. They’d actually have to select a ticket option that totals $175 (price option or no price option, there has to be a $175 ticket option that can be selected).
So again, when you set a price modifier on a ticket in the event editor, that price modifier will apply to all ticket sales, regardless of the method of payment that they choose.

So how I can I delineate between the two when people register?

Your other option is do some custom PHP coding. This is closest readymade code snippet we have that would apply to your scenario:
https://github.com/eventespresso/ee-code-snippet-library/blob/master/checkout/bc_ee_apply_transaction_surcharge.php
You could build on the above where the base price is $175 and the $5.00 would get added to any transaction where they pay online instead of with cash.

Could I subtract $5.00 with this surcharge code? Or would I have to change surcharge to discount?
Also Do I just add this file into my theme or will I have to include this in my functions file?

Nevermind, I figured that one out. Is there a way for me to have the payment option selected depending on this snippet of code. Credit Card -> Credit Card transaction or Cash or Credit -> Invoice selected

The code snippet is actually written to work with registration form questions.

I realize that…. But is there a hook or something I can use to make sure the credit card option is not able to be selected if the registrant decides to pay in cash, giving it a $5 discount.

There isn’t a hook that could be used to conditionally disable one payment option over another based on a question, but you may be able to derive some of the code from this other snippet:
