Whether you are a Point-of-Sale (POS) system provider, Property Management System (PMS) provider, consultant, or industry software developer, your goals are the same as ours: to deliver superior quality payment solutions and services to merchants in a full range of industries and, of course, to make money.

Shift4's rapidly expanding channel partner network is designed to help you accomplish both goals simultaneously. By offering your clients DOLLARS ON THE NET^®, you can be assured that you are providing them with the best enterprise payment solution available. You will be providing real-time electronic payment authorization, settlement, reporting and fraud control functionality that will provide high speed and low cost transactions to your merchants. Plus, for each merchant you bring to Shift4, you will receive generous financial compensation (we're talking transaction-based commissions that keep on giving as long as the merchant is with Shift4).

Of course, we at Shift4 understand that although you may all share the same goals, the resources you have available and the exact role you wish to play in the sales process may vary. That's why we offer several distinct channel partnership options, such as:

Partners
Shift4's partner team is a lot like an external sales force. New partner organizations receive extensive training on the entire Shift4 product line. They in turn sell, implement and train their customers on DOLLARS ON THE NET and receive a recurring revenue stream from ongoing monthly fees and new setup costs.

Organizations can elect to be Standard, Preferred or Exclusive Partners, with exact commissions and services dependant on the level requested.

Referrers
A great deal of the software developers and providers we work with are excellent when it comes to what they know - technology. Often, however, they know little about the specifics of the credit card industry as it relates to merchants or they lack the time to pursue these additional opportunities. For these partners, we have developed a Referral Program.

With this program, you simply refer your customers to Shift4, passing their name on to one of our highly trained internal salespeople. We close the deal, do the contract, install the customer and train the users. You simply collect a percentage of the monthly transaction fees. It's as easy as that.

Shift4's channel partner program is playing an increasingly important role within our sales and business processes, so now is an excellent time to join this growing network.
