We had a contractual agreement with Shift 4 for credit card processing. Contractual obligations have been met as far as cancellation terms. The original contact was 3 years 2019 to 2022 and an additional 2 years 2022 to 2024 We canceled May of 2025.. They incorrectly stated our contract renewed on the very month we canceled, We were unable to speak to anyone with authority. They insisted we pay a "buy out fee" or pay 12 months of charges. They sent the list of charges including monthly fees and fees for handheld units we had sent back. In addition, they have attempted each month to withdraw "processing fees" in the amounts of 100's of dollars for transactions that they are no longer even processing. No statements reflecting what these charges represent are ever sent. In July alone it was over *******. We have been informed by other companies that have used Shift 4 that they have experienced similar unethical behavior. In order to prevent Shift 4 from what I call stealing money from our accounts we have had to block the transactions. My bank has contacted me saying the Shift 4 has tried to slightly alter their withdrawal info to get around the blocks. It is just disgusting. We were with Shift 4 for over 5 years and paying our end of the fees etc.. Probably overcharged. This sneaky practice of trying to charge an exorbitant "buy out" fee and continuing to attempt withdrawals for transactions that are literally not taking place has no place in the business world. I have made others aware of these practices.

This company has fraudulently and unethically stolen money out of my checking account and refuses to refund it. They were never authorized to charge me fees but they did so anyways and now they are forcing me to pay an additional fee to stop doing business with their unethical company. I'm not the only business they have done this to as their call line is days on end with complaints. I am very seriously hoping this turns into a class action lawsuit because this business is unethical and has committed theft through wire fraud.

This merchant service provided me with a terminat that worked intermittently. It was replaced when someone hacked it. A year later the terminal screen said to update software and what to press. When I did, it quit working. I was too busy to call the company at the time. I wasn't using it for several months. When I discovered that they billed my bank $250. I called. They said it was an annual fee. I told them to cancel the contract and refund the fee as I would not be using their broken terminal. They did cancel but would not refund the illegally overpriced annual fee. They claimed it was in my contract agreement that I had signed that they could and would charge it. I pulled it out and saw that the fee line was blank. The agent said that the agreement stated they could charge what they wanted so long as they gave customers 30 days notice. However, it was up to the customer to log on every few days to get this notice. Nothing was sent to my email (which they had). The agreement stated their rules were in the Merchant Processing Agreement. The Merchant Processing Agreement stated the rules were on the Application Agreement I had signed. I was not given any rules when I sign the Application. The Company wishes their Customers to **** for them on their website. If I had known that they charge their Customers each month for using the terminal, charge their customers each month for NOT using the terminal, charge for canceling the 30 month contract, Charge for PCI compliance even though I had complied to it. Charged for an annual fee that they could change ***** nilly, I would not have joined. The annual fee began at $99. but this Aug 8, 2025 they charged me $250. even though I have canceled 7 days after I became aware of what they did. I will no longer use them. EVER AGAIN!. I also warn others about their shady practices.

I'm processing my credit card payments with Shift 4 Payments. On August 1, 2025, Shift 4 Payments charged my account with $500.00 for an "anual fee" becauset they are offering a 24/7 service, unlimited replacement of equipment and something else that I didn't ask for.When I talk with their customer service, an assistant say that they can refund me the amount only if I extend my current contract for another year, after the termination of this contract, that in my case is December 2025. That means that I'm in the obligation of working with them one more year, something that at this point, I don't like because of the obligation per se. If I decide to cancel my contract today, I'll be charged with an early termination fee.

Shift 4 is holding our payment for our merchant account after they assured us they would process our business. We are a kratoam distributer and they claimed we could easily do over $100K in volume a month as long as they setup our configuration to mask the traffic. It was working very well but then they decided the rates were not high enough and wanted more cut in the sales. This was a high risk business and we did not have ability to change the rates easily without other issues. They refused to negotiate then held our pending funds until we agreed to their new rates. Not a good business to deal with when they change their contracts on a whim. We attempted to escalate to management but they threatened us that they would shut down our business too if we said anything else. They said they have guys in ***** that can do this easily to us but never heard from them again. Overall would say not the best company to deal with in the payments industry. Shift 4 owes our reserve payout and has not provided it to us after several months of messaging with their ****

As the owner of ****************** (***** ****), I contracted with Shift4 (07/24/2024) for a POS system. Dual-language printing was explicitly communicated as a critical need, but Shift4 failed to deliver this key functionality, as also confirmed by their IT support. Despite the non-functional system, they initiated unauthorized billing claiming the system is "live," which is invalid since they have not processed any of our customer transactions. The billing amount has been ongoing, despite my repeated requests for a refund. I seek a refund of $849.86 for disputed charges. Their system was never fully functional & support was uncooperative. The company's practices were unethical and costly.

Complaint: 23541164

I reject Shift4's response.
On 7/8, Ms. **** from Shift4 offered to proceed with the installation with dual language support as a resolution, but this ignores the core issue: Shift4 initiated billing before providing a functional system, constituting a breach of contract. Shift4's position that I must pay a cancellation fee to terminate a contract they failed to uphold is unethical. To resolve the lack of refund, I have contacted the ****************************, and I plan to contact my state legislators soon. I request that the BBB further investigate Shift4's deceptive practices and help facilitate a full refund of the disputed charges.

Complaint: 23541164

I am rejecting this response because:
Shift4 representative sent an email outlining Shift4's position and proposed options. However, I must reiterate that I find Shift4's stance unacceptable and these "offers" do not address the core issue: Shift4 Payments failed to provide a functional POS system as agreed upon in our contract. As the submitted email shows, even Shift4's own employee acknowledged that the system never GO LIVE" not due to my inaction, and that Shift4 needs to ensure fairness and maintain goodwill, so he submitted an internal ticket to review the fees.
I am rejecting their offer specifically because:
-The fees being charged are unjustified, as Shift4 has never delivered a system capable of dual-language printing, a requirement explicitly communicated from the outset.
-We never reached the "Install Date" as defined in our contract, so any "inactivity" fees are baseless.
-The first "offer" to proceed with installation at this late stage does not compensate for the months of unauthorized billing and the inconvenience caused to my business.
-Additionally, the second "offer" to pay Shift4 $3,931.62 as a "cancellation" fee and a past due balance of $814.48 for their failure to provide proper installation further demonstrates their deceptive practices and warrants further investigation from the authorities.
-If we had followed Shift4's initial recommendation to discontinue our existing POS system, we would have had no way to process transactions, and Shift4 would be responsible for our financial losses.
In addition to the fees I am disputing, I also request Shift4 to remove its equipment from my premises at their own expense within 30 days. Otherwise, I will not be responsible for them.
Kind Regards,

This response is insincere. It doesn't provide a real solution I was provided a POS system with service billing, but never the promised product.

Complaint: 23541164

I am rejecting this response because:
Shift4's response is misleading. I did not remain unresponsive to Tech Support; in fact, we have provided the requested information (menu), and even the foreign characters on each menu item as requested, but they were unable to install system per the agreement: the system could not do dual-language printing. Their "offer" does not address how Shift4 began unauthorized billing before the system was installed and functioned properly. As I have already stated, and replied back in an email dated 8/5/2025 (attached), which they have not yet responded to, I reject their characterization of the offer and demand a full refund as they are in breach of contract per the MERCHANT PROCESSING AGREEMENT MERCHANT APPLICATION. No "Install Date" was ever completed, and neither was the menu programmed for our restaurant's specifications:
3d. Trial Period: Merchant may cancel the Service Agreement without any penalty within thirty (30) calendar days from the Install Date (Trial Period).
5b. Activation of Equipment: Upon installation of the Equipment at the Merchant Location, Merchant represents and warrants that: (i) Merchant received and accepts the Equipment; (ii) customization of the Equipment and/or Software (for example, the menu) was satisfactorily programmed to Merchant's specifications."

Shift4 is a point of sale company selling and supporting registers for businesses. They informed me about a piece of hardware (a credit card pin pad) that was soon expiring and had to be replaced. I initially purchased the (2) credit card pin pads from them and now they were requiring me to purchase new ones. I was confused because my credit card pin pads worked fine. The replacement would cost approximately $1000. I received notice of this on 4/25/2025 and then Shift4 began issuing me fines on 5/1/2025. They are issuing $150/month for "non compliance". I have now accumulated $300 in fines and counting. I need some help to resolve this. (i) Not enough notice was not given, (ii) it is unfair to issue fines and (iii) it is a predatory sales practice to force me to replace a working piece of hardware at MY cost. Thank you,*****

I signed up with Shift4/****** for a POS system, but I have never used the equipment or activated the service. I contacted the company shortly after receiving the equipment to request cancellation, but they refused to cancel without charging a $2,209.48 early termination fee.Despite my repeated requests to return the equipment and cancel the account, the company continues to charge me $197 per month for non-use and so-called equipment maintenance. I have explained that I am not using the system and that my business has not operated.I believe it is unfair to charge monthly fees for a service I never used and to demand such a high penalty under these circumstances. I am a small business owner and cannot afford these charges.I am requesting that Shift4:1.Cancel my account without the early termination fee;2.Stop charging monthly fees;3.Arrange to retrieve their equipment at no cost;4.Refund any monthly charges that were withdrawn after I requested cancellation.

Response to BBB Complaint #********

Dear BBB,

Thank you for following up.

Unfortunately, nothing has changed since my original complaint. Shift4/****** has not canceled my account, and they continue to attempt to withdraw money from my bank account, despite the fact that I have never activated or used their system.

In early June, they attempted to charge me $197 plus an additional $60, even though I do not have sufficient funds in my account. I am now being told that they will continue to charge me $269 every month until I pay a $2,209.48 early termination fee, which I believe is completely unfair under the circumstances.

I also had a very unpleasant experience speaking to a company manager, who spoke rudely to my husband, constantly interrupted him, and made no effort to help resolve the situation. The tone was disrespectful and dismissive.

Since December, Shift4/****** has withdrawn about $1,000 from my account, and again I have not used the system for even one day. My business has not been able to open yet due to reasons beyond my control, and I simply cannot afford to continue paying for a service I never used.

I am again requesting that Shift4:

Cancel my account without the early termination fee;

BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
