Three steps to go live.
Book a free demo
Tell us how your floor runs. We spec the exact devices you need — no more, no less — and quote it plainly.
We build and install
We program your menu ahead of time, then a local technician installs on-site and stays through your first service.
Go live with support
You open with 24/7/365 in-house support behind you and a lifetime warranty on every device.
How it works
Three steps, and only the first one is yours.
- Send us the business name and a contact, or introduce us directly.
- We run the demo, quote the deal, and handle install and training.
- Once they become a customer, your $2,000 referral bonus is paid.
What you get
There is no cap. Refer one business or ten — each qualifying referral earns its own $2,000, and we tell you where every one of them stands so you are never left wondering.
- $2,000 for each referral that becomes a Shift4 Direct customer.
- No limit on the number of businesses you refer.
- Open to anyone — you do not have to be a customer yourself.
Why operators refer
Referring is easy because the product does the selling. Your contact gets the same deal you did: $0 upfront hardware for qualifying merchants, 12 months of waived software fees, dual pricing toward 0% processing, and in-house 24/7/365 support. You are not talking them into anything, you are pointing them at a better number.
- Your referral gets a genuinely better POS and lower processing cost.
- You get $2,000 once they come on board.
- Both of you deal with a local reseller, not a call center.
One platform. Everything the restaurant runs on.
