The rate you were quoted is not the rate you are paying.

A monthly PCI fee, a rented terminal and a till that never talks to it. We take out the first two and supply the EPOS that fixes the third. Free card machine, free setup, £0 upfront.

The money leaves before you notice it

You compared rates and picked the lowest. Then the statements arrived and the bottom line never matched the quote. The gap is usually a PCI fee, taken every month whether you take 1 payment or 5,000. It is not in the headline rate, and a quiet January costs you the same as a busy one.

Card being handed across the bar to pay for a round

Two suppliers, two bills, two excuses

Most venues rent the terminal from one company and the till from another. Every total gets keyed in by hand, the mistakes land on the end of day report, and when something breaks on a Saturday each supplier blames the other.

Free card machine. No rental. No PCI fee.

What we do not charge

No PCI fee

Not reduced, not waived for a while. Not charged.

No terminal rental

The machine is yours to use. We do not bill you for it every month.

No subscription on the terminal

No recurring charge for the hardware itself, ever.

That is the whole list, and it is the same list whether you turn over £5,000 a month or £500,000.

What you actually get

A card machine. Free.

Free hardware, free setup, £0 upfront, no subscription on the terminal. Most of the market either rents you one or bundles the cost somewhere you cannot see it.

SkyTab POS. The full till.

The full till, front of house and reporting, with £0 upfront. The same platform that runs in multi site groups, priced for one venue.

Everyone else in this market sells you the till and quietly leaves the terminal out. We give you both.

How our pricing works

Built for how your room actually runs

A golf club taking payment at the ninth is not a takeaway clearing a Friday rush. Same platform, set up differently.

Find your venue type

Installed face to face, supported around the clock

Someone comes to you and sets it up in your venue. Not a box on a doorstep with a login emailed to you.

Support runs 24/7, delivered by Shift4's own team. Two in the morning on a Saturday is when a till going down actually costs you money.

Questions people ask before they commit

Is the card machine actually free, or is the cost hidden somewhere else?

It is free. Free hardware, free setup, nothing upfront and no subscription on the terminal itself. The charge that normally hides behind a free hardware offer is the PCI fee, and we do not charge it. We make our money on the processing markup, and we quote you that markup in writing before you commit to anything.

What does SkyTab POS actually cover?

SkyTab POS is the full Shift4 EPOS system, with £0 upfront. It is the same platform running in multi site hospitality groups, not a cut down version. Every module is priced and published in full on our pricing page, so you can work out your total before you speak to anyone. Nothing is bundled invisibly.

What will my card processing rate actually be?

It depends on your monthly card turnover and your mix of debit, credit and Amex, so we will not pretend one number fits every venue. Our markup starts from +0.1%. Interchange plus 0.1% is our lowest markup, available on individually quoted accounts over £60,000 monthly card turnover. Your rate depends on your turnover and card mix, and we will quote it before you commit to anything.

Do I have to change my bank or my current till system?

No, you keep your bank. Payouts go into your existing business account. If you run another till system we will look at what you have before recommending anything, because in some venues the sensible move is the card machine first and the EPOS later. If that is the case, we will say so.

Who installs it, and what happens when something goes wrong at midnight?

Installation is done face to face, in your venue. You are not sent a box and a login. Shift4 provide technical support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so a problem during a Saturday night service gets answered while it is happening.
