Phos by Ingenico has partnered with Shift4 to bolster its acquiring capabilities and expand the adoption of its SoftPOS solution for merchant customers across Europe.

Phos merchants can now access Shift4’s global acquiring services and payment processing capabilities through Phos’ innovative solution, which turns any mobile device into a payment terminal.

By transforming any mobile device into a contactless payment terminal, Phos’ SoftPOS offers merchants an efficient and flexible method for handling payments and facilitates smoother transactions.

Through this partnership, Phos customers will be able to accept and process payments using global card schemes and digital wallets—such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and Samsung Pay—anywhere, anytime, and in real-time.

“Shift4 is at the forefront of streamlined digital payments innovation in Europe,” said Sveta Bulshtein, Vice President of Business Development at Shift4. “Phos has emerged as the SoftPOS provider of choice across Europe, and we are thrilled to be partnering with them to champion their offering and enhance their acquiring capabilities. Using our established partnerships and infrastructure in the region, we will bring Phos’ European clients a more affordable, easy-to-use POS solution to help drive business growth through fast and seamless payment solutions while expanding our footprint in the market.”

“We are excited to announce this partnership with Shift4, which allows us to leverage their high-performing acquiring network to deliver a more robust and comprehensive payment solution to our customers,” said Brad Hyett, CEO of Phos. “This partnership represents a significant step in our mission to provide innovative and flexible payment solutions that cater to the dynamic needs of merchants and their customers across Europe. As a strategic partner, Shift4’s innovative and flexible approach is significantly helping us adjust to our clients’ changing needs and meet market demand.”
