Does the card machine work without Wi-Fi?
Shift4 Solo has a built-in 4G SIM and does not require Wi-Fi, subject to coverage. Tell us where you will take payments so we can confirm the connection requirements for the setup you choose.

Shift4 Solo has no upfront machine cost and no monthly rental. myPOS Ultra is £20 a month plus VAT. Shift4 Dine has no upfront cost and is £39 a month plus VAT. We confirm the full costs before you decide.
What's a minimum monthly charge?
It's the least you'll pay in card fees in a month. If your fees come to less, you pay the difference. myPOS Ultra has a £20 minimum on top of its £20 + VAT monthly fee. For example, a month with £12 of myPOS card fees is charged £20 in fees, and a month with £60 of card fees is charged £60.

Yes. We can review your contract end date and current costs, then advise whether switching now or later makes sense.
Can the process be handled remotely?
