Shift 4 is a scam. We quit using their ‘free’ processing service and they’re billing us claiming we have a contract. We never signed a contract or guaranteed a commitment!

Company is sending me emails saying my ticket has been closed pending 4/10/24????? You really cannot make this up. They told me i needed to upgrade my system and when i did the system did not handle the needs of my business so i cancelled. They somehow will not let us cancel and keep billing me. The system never worked and even one of their “specialists” came to our premise and could not fix the solution! He recommeded that we cancel and would let them know. Since then they have dodged the issue and refuse to take action! This company is a complete SCAM do not use them or trust them. They are completely dishonest! My business is CATCH 22 in bay ridge brooklyn and i will gladly speak to any prospective customers and tell them the truth about this company! STAY AWAY!Shift4 Response

SCAMMED BY THIS COMPANY! I was told i needed to upgrade my system in order for it to handle my business needs but we had nothing but problems with the functionality. I was a customer for years and when the upgrade didn’t fit my business needs they sent someone to help and he told me for what i need this system isn’t right. I have emailed them and called them trying to cancel for atleast 6 months and have been given the runaround. I have since replaced them as my point of sale system but they still charge me $210 MONTHLY for a system that doesnt work for me! There is no contract and if there was it would have expired because i am a long standing customer. They tell me they are cancelling and there will be no more charged but evey month it still comes out of ny account. Its disgraceful that this is allowed and they are allowed to lie to customers. I will be contacting my bank next to let them know not to accept the chargs going foward and i am currently looking for a small claims lawyer to help. STAY AWAY FROM SHIFT4!Shift4 Response

It is just like every other person one this site , they refuse to quit charging my bank account! The continuous try to charge my bank account even though we canceled them a year ago, I am going to go after them for theft for removing money from my account without just cause. Stay away from this Company by the way their POS system sucks go with Toast it is ten times better!Shift4 Response

This is by far the worse company to do business with. They promised in-person training and when we were ready to train there was nobody that could come to train. When there is a problem you will be on the phone 2-3 hours and will be on hold for the majority of the time instead of trying to help you. When you have a question they will not have an answer right then for you and again will leave you on hold for several minutes. The cc part is a scam and so is their fees. I would highly recommend nobody to do business with them. They do not care about their customers either.Shift4 Response

Never do business with this company! After MONTHS of attempting to close our account, paid contract cancellation fee and continued to debit monthly fees. Multiple emails, phone calls and countless "tickets" they will still not close our account. Worst customer service EVER as no one will call you back like they say they will nor any attempt to resolve the issues. Talk about a merry-go-round of "it takes 24 hrs", next call "it takes 3 to 5 days"...blah, blah, blah...that's all they do, The worst company I have ever dealt with.Shift4 Response

Stay away from them. August 2022 I got sucked into switching my current payment processing company into shift4 by a representative who came into my business saying there was no obligations and I could always walk away if I didn’t like their system. Long story short I sold my business in June 2023. I contacted the same representative and notified I wanted to cancel with them and get the return label (I have text messages between us) he said we need to wait till August to do that because contract was signed digitally. August 29th I call the company they said I should have called before the 17th now I renewed the contract for another year and no one can help me with that even after I emailed text messages between their representative and I proving that I notified 2 months earlier. No one returning emails and texts anymore and with last call they said it would be $365 to cancel right now. These people are scammers and their employees treat you like garbage. Stay away people!!!!Shift4 Response
