How it works

Switching takes three simple steps

  1. 01

    Statement review

    Send a recent card statement. We compare costs and confirm free hardware eligibility.

  2. 02

    Hardware setup & training

    We configure terminals and Shift4 Dine menus, install and train your team nationwide. Same-week setup for approved applications.

  3. 03

    Start taking payments

    Go live with next-day settlement and 24/7 UK support behind you.

Start with your current provider

Neutral switching checklists. No assumed savings, contract shortcuts or zero-downtime guarantees.

  • Switching from Dojo →

    List the payment terminals, acquiring agreement and any connected till arrangement separately. Check the notice and equipment terms in your own agreement before choosing a changeover date.

  • Switching from Square →

    Record the Square products your business actually uses, including payments, ordering, catalogues and reporting. Confirm which data can be exported and which workflows need configuring in the replacement.

  • Switching from SumUp →

    Identify your reader, payment account and any SumUp POS software as separate parts of the review. Compare your real transaction mix and hardware needs rather than assuming a headline rate covers every sale.

  • Switching from Epos Now →

    Map the ePOS software, hardware, payment provider and integrations in your current Epos Now setup. They may have separate terms, so review each contract and confirm the proposed replacements in writing.

  • Switching from Lightspeed →

    Review your specific Lightspeed product, menus, reporting and third-party connections. Confirm export options and rebuild requirements; do not assume every integration or item setting transfers automatically.

  • Switching from Zonal →

    For a Zonal setup, document every outlet, menu, kitchen destination and connected service before planning a replacement. A multi-area or multi-site change needs an agreed sequence and ownership of each test.

  • Switching from ICRTouch →

    Record the ICRTouch software, dealer-supported hardware and payment connections in your venue. Confirm who holds each agreement and which device, menu and reporting details can be reused or exported.
