Get Started →The Problem: Shift4's Payment Links Are Shift4-Only
Shift4 already has its own Payment Links feature, built into the Shift4 Customer Hub: merchants can generate a link, add branding, and send it by email or SMS, or turn it into a QR code. It works well for a merchant who only ever processes through Shift4. It doesn't help a merchant who runs Shift4 alongside another PSP, or wants one branded link experience and one place to track them across every processor they use.
How Shuttle Links Checkout Works with Shift4
Shuttle sits on top of your existing Shift4 merchant account. Transactions still settle through Shift4: we just give you a new way to initiate them remotely.
Connect your Shift4 merchant account to Shuttle.
Create a payment link in the Merchant Portal: set the amount, add your branding, and choose which payment methods to accept.
Send the link to your customer via SMS, email, WhatsApp, or embed it on your website.
Your customer clicks the link, lands on a branded checkout page, and pays securely.
The payment processes through Shift4 as usual. You see it in both your Merchant Portal and your Shift4 reports.
Your existing Shift4 rates, settlement schedule, and reporting all stay the same. Shuttle is an add-on, not a replacement.
What You Get
Branded checkout pages: every payment link opens a checkout page with your logo, colours, and business name. Your customers see your brand, not a generic payment form.
Multiple payment methods: accept the card schemes your Shift4 account already supports through a single link.
Send anywhere: share payment links via SMS, email, WhatsApp, social media, QR codes, or embed them on your website. Meet your customers where they are.
Dashboard and reporting: track every payment link in real time. See who's paid, who hasn't, and export data for reconciliation with your Shift4 reports.
Multiple link types: create multi-use links, one-time links, or time-based expiring links, whatever the scenario calls for.
No code required: create and send payment links from a simple dashboard. No developers, no API integration, no technical setup.
Who Uses Payment Links with Shift4?
Hotels and resorts: send deposit links for room bookings, event spaces, and group reservations.

Stadiums and venues: sell VIP packages, suite rentals, and merchandise bundles via link before game day.
Food trucks and pop-ups: take pre-orders and accept payments when the POS terminal isn't practical.
Hotel gift shops and spas: send payment links for gift cards, spa packages, and room-charge disputes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to switch away from Shift4?
No. Shuttle works alongside your existing Shift4 account. All transactions still process and settle through Shift4. You keep your current rates and merchant agreement.
Can I send payment links via text message?
Yes. Shuttle lets you send payment links via SMS or email, or share them in any messaging channel. You can also generate a QR code or embed the link on your website.
Is this PCI compliant?
Absolutely. Shuttle payment links use hosted checkout pages, so card data never touches your systems. This keeps your PCI scope limited.
