Are we even able to fully break ties with them at this point? Thought that lingering
SkyTab relationship forces some level of support.

I hear ya. I just don't want to get an email in 6 months asking about this again. Once
we're done with them, we need to be done, and not get dragged back into this.

My main worry on cutting completely is not knowing what is processing through
Mercury or Valutec (or other) and not having a single clue what kind of volume FCP
does on those platforms, on our behalf.

svs reloads. No fuckin way man

Hi Patti -
Quick question for you. We are reviewing all of our gift card relationships, and wanted
to clarify the current revenue split between FCP (CardConnect) and Shift4. Can you
please let me know what percentage of gift card revenue (new, reloads, fees, etc.) is
currently going to FCP vs. Shift4?
As a reminder, you guys process gift cards on the following platforms, for our
merchants:
Shift4
Valutec
Mercury

Thanks!
Taylor
