Shift4, an integrated payments and commerce technology provider, has partnered with European open finance platform Fabrick, with an aim to optimise payment acceptance services across Europe.Â
Through this collaboration, merchants will be able to leverage embedded finance services across the payments value chain from Fabrick, which are enhanced by Shift4, an acquirer capable of providing advanced services and driving market innovation through a multichannel approach.
Payment acceptance capabilities rank highest among European companiesâ investment priorities for the coming years, with 71 per cent of businesses prioritising improvements in this area.

âThis collaboration with Shift4 allows Fabrick to enhance our open finance platform, which now covers the entire value chain of payment services, while also addressing critical industry challenges highlighted in our Forrester research, such as the 66 per cent of companies struggling with a unified view of payments across channels and the 64 per cent facing interoperability issues,â explained Alessio Damonti, chief commercial officer at Fabrick.
âFurthermore, this partnership sharpens Fabrick and Shift4âs competitive edge by leveraging our combined expertise to empower merchants with the advanced tools and capabilities they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving market.â
