Shift4 i4go is a utility connector that creates a Shift4 PSP token from card details collected via Gr4vy Secure Fields. It provides a secure way to produce a Shift4-specific token without raw card data reaching your servers. This connector does not process payments. It is a tool to enable PSP tokenization with Shift4 independently of a payment transaction.

How it works

To create a Shift4 PSP token, card details are collected via Gr4vy Secure Fields and passed directly to Shift4 for tokenization. The connector returns the resulting PSP token without charging the card. The Shift4 i4go connector:
  • Reduces PCI scope - Card details are collected via Gr4vy Secure Fields, so raw card data never reaches your servers.
  • Simplifies Shift4 integration - Produce a Shift4 PSP token that can be used in server-side calls to Shift4’s payment APIs.
  • Enables flexible workflows - Tokenize cards independently of the payment step, supporting deferred or external payment flows.

Setup

A Shift4 i4go account can be requested by contacting the Shift4 sales team via their website.

Credentials

When setting up Shift4 i4go in the dashboard, configure the following credentials, which are obtained via the Shift4 i4go dashboard.
  • Access token - The access token used to authenticate with the Shift4 i4go API.

Usage

  1. Add the Shift4 i4go connector in the Gr4vy dashboard and enter the access token.
  2. Use Gr4vy Secure Fields to collect card details from the buyer. To store the card in Gr4vy at the same time, see Secure Fields with stored cards.
  3. Submit the card details to Gr4vy. The connector sends them to Shift4 and returns a PSP token. To create or delete a PSP token for an already-stored payment method, use the provision PSP token and delete PSP token APIs.
  4. Use the PSP token in your own server-side calls to Shift4’s payment APIs to process a payment.

Features

Shift4 i4go supports the following features:
  • Create token - Create a Shift4 PSP token from card details collected via Secure Fields.
  • Verify credentials - Validate the configured access token against the Shift4 i4go API.

Limitations

This connector only supports PSP tokenization. It cannot process payments, perform refunds, or carry out any other transaction-related operations.
