Who Can Benefit from SkyTab Solo?
SkyTab Solo Comes with its own 4G.
*If a merchant is WiFi only and does not need 4G, this feature can be deactivated on the device. But 4G billing will need to be turned off by calling Shift4 Support.
- With SkyTab Solo, merchants don’t need a dedicated internet connection to process transactions. Using the built-in 4G capabilities, merchants can process transactions anywhere!
- SkyTab Solo also allows merchants to process transactions using built-in customer menus. If a merchant has a separate menu for takeout, SkyTab Solo allows them to customize their menu to fit their needs right on the device.
- A merchant doesn’t even need to be a restaurant to gain the benefits from SkyTab Solo! Let’s say the merchant is a painter and needs to get paid for the job they just finished. SkyTab Solo allows this type of merchant to take payments.
Build Marketing Programs and Grow Customer Loyalty.
Merchants can collect customer emails with checkout prompts and utilize the information to retain customers.
Merchants can then build their own customer database to:
- Enroll patrons into a customer loyalty program
- Develop customer profiles
- Market to the customers with special offers, coupons and more!

What is SkyTab SOLO?
SkyTab SOLO is the Shift4’s solution that transforms the PAX A930/A800 and A80 into a standalone payments device, operating without communicating to a POS system. SOLO provides a very simple way to enter a charge, an optional tip, and accept a credit card with the option to provide a receipt. SkyTab SOLO is being deployed in two configurations:
- Configuration 1: SkyTab SOLO is preloaded onto the A930/A800/A80 device (with injected keys and MID) with the 4G card activated. Traditional SkyTab is not pre-configured on the device.
Note: The PAX A930s and A800 come with the 4G card activated, and the PAX A80 will need the hard wire connection or Wi-Fi to have a connection- This configuration is ideal for anyone, regardless of what POS they are using and regardless of their current gateway and processor, that needs a way to accept EMV CC payments for curbside, at-the-door delivery, or anywhere outside of the restaurant.
- It is designed to work out-of-the-box without the need for Wi-Fi (since we ship with 4G card activated), integration software, or training. A simple one-page “how-to” is shipped with each device.
Note: Configuration 1 is the Basic setup for the PAX Devices on the Advantage Program
- Configuration 2: SkyTab SOLO will be deployed on each (traditional) SkyTab device (which has 4G that is not activated). It is provided as a backup/emergency stand-alone terminal for those rare times that the POS or restaurant’s standard Internet connection experiences an issue.
