Shift 4 card machine for a market trader

Really happy with shift 4 and Donna who introduced me. She has been amazing and still sends the odd message asking how everything is going.
The charges are extremely fair in comparison to others, card machine very easy to set up and use, and trust me im no good with technology! Love the fact it prints off professional receipts with my business name on. Comes with a fast charger but to be fair it rarely needs charging as it lasts forever.
Really happy all round, im always recommending it to my market colleagues.
Thanks Donna 😊

When we were looking for a payment provider I found several suppliers not very helpful, until I met Donna from Shift4. She made everything really simple and got us setup super quickly. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Donna to anybody that I know, and work with.
