FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the card terminal and ePOS hardware really free?

Yes, for eligible businesses. Free hardware is subject to status, your monthly card turnover and a Shift4 merchant agreement. We confirm eligibility before you sign anything.

How long is the contract?

We offer rolling, flexible terms wherever possible. Your exact term depends on the package and hardware chosen, and we explain it clearly in your quote.

What are the transaction fees?

Transaction fees apply to every card payment and are priced on your turnover, average transaction value and card mix. There are no hidden fees — everything is itemised in your quote.

Can I switch from Dojo, Square, SumUp or EPOS Now?

Yes. Send us a recent card statement and we will compare your current costs, then handle the switch with a planned changeover and contingency arrangements.

How quickly can you install?

Same-week installation and training are available throughout the United Kingdom for approved applications. We agree the date once your application, menu and site requirements are ready.

Do you support multi-site businesses?

Yes. Shift4 Dine includes multi-site reporting, central menu management and consolidated settlement for groups and franchises.

When do I receive my money?

Next-day settlement is available, so card takings reach your bank account the following business day.

Who is eligible for free hardware?

Eligibility depends on business type, trading history, monthly card turnover and credit status. Hospitality venues with steady card volumes usually qualify — check in two minutes with our quote form.

Is support UK-based?
