Normally sold for $99 per month, Shift4 customers can obtain the complete program for an exclusive price of $49 per month. The training program is available to each Shift4 Payments customer directly through the marketplace section of the company's Lighthouse Business Management System.

In addition to its robust marketplace, Lighthouse delivers a complete business management solution that includes extensive reporting capabilities, employee scheduling, remote POS system management, social media management, customer engagement tools, online reputation management and more.
