If you go with Shift4, you can stick with your current bank, or change it anytime; it’s up to you.
Why is that? Probably because there are so many different fee structures and comparing options is confusing.
All-inclusive monthly plans (like what the banks’ offer) will have you paying for transactions you don’t use, while interchange plus will have you scratching your head with all the different charges for different cards.
Zero Cost™ EFTPOS is a simple, automated surcharging solution that allows you to pass the costs of credit card processing on to your customers. This means no merchant service fees or terminal rental. These days, most customers don’t mind paying a surcharge when it’s done right.
Or perhaps our Simple Flat Rate is right for you. This is a straight-forward and transparent option that offers simplified competitive rates and helps you predict your EFTPOS bill at the end of the month.
Your EFTPOS terminal gets a workout and it needs to be up to the task. So when choosing an EFTPOS provider, consider what cards your customers use. Visa, MasterCard and tap and go are standard but do you also need to accept AMEX? Find out what cards are accepted and the costs involved.
