Why osteopaths choose Shift4 One
Paid in the room
The handheld travels with you, so nobody queues at a desk afterwards.

4G failover keeps payments running in older buildings with poor WiFi.
Receipts patients can claim
Emailed receipts carry the detail private health insurers ask for.

Osteopaths card machine questions
Can I take payment in the treatment room?
Yes. The terminal is handheld and works on WiFi or 4G, so you can take payment beside the couch rather than at a desk.
Is there a rental charge?
No. The first terminal is free and there is no monthly bill, so you only pay a percentage on what you actually take.
Do you support phone payments?
Yes. MOTO lets you key in a card when a patient pays for a course of treatment remotely.
How quickly is money paid out?
Payments settle the next working day, including takings from Saturday clinics.
Can two practitioners share one machine?
Yes, though most shared clinics take a second terminal at £14 a month so each practitioner's takings report separately.
