Back to BlogShift4 & Flatpay: Revolutionizing the Nordics with Transparent Payment Solutions
At Shift4, we’re on a mission to simplify payments for businesses everywhere. That’s why our partnership with Flatpay has been so rewarding—it’s a collaboration built on a shared vision of delivering transparency and simplicity to merchants. Together, we’re transforming the payment landscape in the Nordic and European regions, enabling businesses to thrive with innovative, straightforward solutions.
The Complexity We’re Solving
Merchants across the Nordics often need help with fragmented payment systems, high fees, and unclear pricing. Flatpay was founded to address these issues head-on with a single, transparent payment solution that eliminates unnecessary complexity.
With a single flat transaction fee for all card types and no hidden costs, Flatpay ensures merchants can focus on growing their business instead of dealing with complicated payment systems. This bold approach is why they’ve quickly become a standout in the market.
How Shift4 Powers Flatpay’s Vision
In May 2022, Flatpay took a bold step in revolutionizing payments in Denmark by partnering with Shift4 as their primary acquirer and technology provider. They had a vision: to empower small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with simple, transparent, and cost-effective payment solutions. Shift4’s technology became the foundation that brought this vision to life, enabling Flatpay to enter the market with confidence and scale rapidly.
