Restaurants and bars around the Old City, Clifton and the Harbourside — take payment at the table so service never stalls at a fixed till.
The independents on Gloucester Road, North Street and Stokes Croft — a free terminal that takes every card without an eye-watering monthly bill.
Garages, tyre fitters and workshops in Fishponds, Brislington and Avonmouth — rugged enough to take payment out in the bay.
Shops in Cabot Circus, Broadmead and the stalls of St Nicholas Market — one device for chip, contactless and mobile wallets.
Barbers and salons across Bishopston, Southville and Clifton — payment and tip settled in a single tap at the chair.
Street-food and market traders working Harbourside events and the city's food scene — 4G keeps you taking card wherever you pitch up.
A quick call is all it takes — the bridge is no barrier. Tell us how your Bristol business trades and we'll get a Shift4 One over to you, set up and ready to take card.

The Shift4 One turned up free, set up in minutes, and we've not paid a penny in rental since. Our card fees are down by around £180 a month.
No wires, no monthly bill, and the money's in our account by the next morning. After years of renting a clunky terminal, it almost felt too easy.
It lives in my apron pocket. Markets, festivals, the lot — the built-in 4G means it just works wherever I'm trading.
Customers tap, the receipt prints, done. Switching over from our old provider took one quick call and saved us a small fortune.
Taking card at the table instead of walking people back to the till has genuinely sped up our service on busy nights.
Yes, and that's a fair thing to ask. Bristol is a short trip over the Severn for us, so we treat it exactly like our home patch: in-person setup, a face you can put to the name, and the same UK support line afterwards. The state line on a map doesn't change the service.
We come to you. We bring the machine, set it up on site and make sure your team is confident taking payments before we leave. Crossing the bridge is simply part of how we work.
Genuinely. No rental, no monthly fee, no setup cost. We earn on a small share of the transactions you process — nothing on the hardware — so there's no hidden line waiting on a bill.
UK support is available 24/7 for anything urgent mid-trade, and for hands-on issues we're only a bridge away. The machine also carries a lifetime hardware warranty, so faults get replaced rather than rented back to you.
Not at all — it's arguably a better fit for independents than the big providers' packages. There's no minimum turnover, no tie-in and no rental, so a one-person coffee shop gets the same free terminal and fair rate as a large venue.
Yes. With 4G built in it takes card anywhere there's a mobile signal — Harbourside festivals, market pitches and pop-ups all included, with no fixed broadband needed.
They're not a flat template — we set your rate around how your business actually trades, which usually beats the standard percentage you're on now. Show us a statement and we'll quote you properly.
Next working day, same as our Welsh customers. Where you are doesn't change the settlement time; a payment today is in your account tomorrow.
Often, yes. Many businesses move across even with time left to run because the saving outweighs what's left on the old deal. Send your statement and we'll work it through honestly with you first.
Drop your details in the form or give us a call. We'll talk through your business, confirm the Shift4 One fits and arrange to bring one over — free of charge.
