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 ... read more

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!

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. ... read more

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... read more

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 2... read more

We had harbor touch and shift4 for two businesses. One business we had to program all of our inventory ourselves and it took us quite some time. Not only was I charged my regular monthly fees while not using it, which we knew would happen, we were charged for inactivity and charged outrageous credit card processing fees while not using the system. Every time we tried to cancel this service because we didn’t like the system, the salesman or the company made it a huge hassle with many long phone calls that resulted in never re... read more

Charges closed businesses exorbitant “inactivity” fees. Continue to withdraw money from our account with no notice after speaking with Linsey Ext#3777 who said, I quote “Your account is due to close today” and “No further charges” will be made.
