Judopay and Shift4 Partner to Enhance Payment Solutions for Merchants Across the UK
The strategic partnership will enhance Judopay’s omnichannel offering and promote Shift4’s Point-of-Sale (PoS) Solutions in the UK market
London, 9 September 2025 – Judopay, wired in Fabrick, a leading UK payments platform, has entered into a strategic partnership with Shift4, a global leader in integrated payment solutions. The collaboration cements Shift4 as Judopay’s preferred payments partner, enabling merchants to leverage Shift4’s acquiring services to deliver a seamless, scalable, and compliant end-to-end payment ecosystem.
Through this partnership, Judopay will enhance its end-to-end offering into an enterprise-grade payment solution serving sectors such as utilities, financial services, travel, SaaS, and HoReCa. Backed by Shift4’s global acquiring infrastructure, Judopay can now deliver enhanced point-of-sale solutions, unified commerce capabilities, and embedded commerce opportunities. Merchants ranging from established corporates to dynamic SMEs will have access to the scale, compliance, and innovation required to succeed in today’s competitive payments landscape.
“We’re excited to partner with Judopay to empower merchants across the UK with a seamless, secure, and scalable payments experience,” said Ashley Arlott, Senior Vice President, Commercial Card Present Strategy, Shift4 Europe. “The integration of our PoS and acquiring capabilities in their platform affords us a unique position to support merchants in simplifying operations, reducing costs, and accelerating growth. Together, we’re setting a new standard for modern commerce.”
The UK payments market is forecast to reach £693 billion by 2030, reflecting the clear demand for future-proof and compliant systems to serve enterprises of all sizes. However, only 12% of UK retailers currently feel wholly confident in their unified commerce strategies, highlighting an urgent need for partners who can offer guidance, expertise, and technological support. Judopay and Shift4 together will meet growing enterprise payment needs, supporting merchants in integrating channels and delivering seamless, cohesive customer experiences.
"This partnership marks a significant milestone in Judopay’s journey to support merchants with a truly end-to-end, enterprise-grade payment system,” said Anant Patel, CEO of Judopay. “Shift4’s acquiring services will help us deliver scale and innovation to our clients, without compromising the flexibility and integrator-friendly experience we’re known for.”
