What is Shift4 One?

Shift4 One is our solution that transforms the PAX A930/A800 and A80 into a standalone payments device, operating without communicating to a POS. Shift4 One provides a very simple way to enter a charge, an optional tip, and accept a credit card with the option to provide a receipt. Shift4 One is being deployed in two configurations:

  • Configuration 1: Shift4 One is preloaded onto the A930/A800/A80 device (with injected keys and MID) with the 4G card activated. 
    Note: The PAX A930s and A800 come with the 4G card activated, and the PAX A80 will need the hard-wire connection or Wi-Fi to have a connection  
    • This configuration is ideal for anyone, regardless of what POS they are using and regardless of their current gateway and processor, who needs a way to accept EMV CC payments for curbside, at-the-door delivery, or anywhere outside of the restaurant.  
    • It is designed to work out-of-the-box without the need for Wi-Fi (since we ship with 4G card activated), integration software, or training.  A simple one-page “how-to” is shipped with each device.

Note: Configuration 1 is the Basic setup for the PAX Devices on the Advantage Program

  • Configuration 2: Shift4 One will be deployed on each (traditional) device (which has 4G that is not activated). It is provided as a backup/emergency stand-alone terminal for those rare times that the POS or restaurant’s standard Internet connection experiences an issue.

Can I opt for using Shift4 One even if I have a standard Workstation for Shift4 Dine?

Can PAX A930/A800 literally take payments anywhere?

Yes, provided 4G coverage is available. PAX A930/A800  can be used at the curbside, for delivery at the door, and even at the table.

Do I need to install and/or configure Shift4 One devices to work with WiFi?

No, all the Shift4 One needs is a 4G network.

Note: The PAX A80 will need to be hardwired or connected to the Wi-Fi

Do Shift4 Dine batches close automatically?

Yes.

Can Shift4 One fetch check data from the POS and close checks on the POS, as it does with the Workstation for Shift4 Dine?

No, Shift4 One acts as an independent device.
