Why window cleaners choose Shift4 One
Paid at the door
4G means the customer pays there and then, no note through the letterbox.
Less cash to bank
Card takings land in the bank without a trip and a paying-in book.
Lasts the whole round
One charge covers a full day of doorstep payments across the round.
Small jobs still work
A £12 clean costs the same percentage as a £200 commercial contract.

Window Cleaners card machine questions
Is a £12 clean worth taking on card?
Yes. There is no monthly bill and no minimum, so the only cost is the blended percentage on that payment.
Does it need WiFi?
No. A 4G SIM is built in, so the terminal works at every door on the round.
How long does the battery last?
A full working day of payments on a single charge, and it recharges in the van between rounds.
Can customers pay if they're out?
Yes. You can take payment over the phone with MOTO, or the customer can pay next visit.
When does the money arrive?
The next working day, including for weekend rounds.
