I would strongly caution any business…
I would strongly caution any business owner before signing with Shift4. My experience has been extremely disappointing. The contract you sign appears straightforward, but Section 13(a) directs you to separate Shift4 legal terms in very small print. In my experience, those additional terms dramatically changed the agreement and the obligations after the fact. I felt completely misled. Here are the issues I experienced: When I attempted to cancel after what I believed was my one-year contract, I was told it would cost approximately $63,000 or $950 per month to terminate. I was informed of an additional $1,500 fee effective August 15. I continued to be charged $3,750 for my previous POS system (they own as well- future POS) because it was never canceled, even though I had called and requested that it be discontinued. Plus they charged me $2200 last year for this new fee they added. The signal has dropped many times, tech takes forever as well. I have emails and paperwork for anyone they wants to see it please let me know, I’ll show you the proof. I later discovered my agreement had reportedly renewed only three months into what I believed was my initial 12-month term. When I tried to cancel, I was told it had already renewed back in January for another full year. Between the hidden fees, confusing contract language, unexpected renewal terms, billing issues, and extremely poor customer service, this has been by far the worst POS experience I've ever had. If you're considering Shift4, read every document carefully—including any legal terms referenced in the contract—and make sure you fully understand the cancellation policy, renewal provisions, and every potential fee before signing. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company. James Scalzi - please contact me if you have any questions.
