@@calf6445 You can set it to pay out the next day or monthly. If you set up next day it Will normally pay by 7pm the next day without fail. If you have set up monthly then it pays out the 3rd working day of every month by 7pm without fail
Just been issued and told in 30 seconds how to use sumup. Was worried, but this clip has assured me, and I'm ready to take your money. Well presented, easy for a old techno phobic like me. Thank you.
I've been using Paypal Here for some time. It's been good but the point of sale experience has sometimes been marred by comms failures and bluetooth registration failure. The SUmUp device looks So much faster to use at the point of sale. I also like the transactions go direct to your nominated bank account, rather than via Paypal. I'm sold. I've registered and ordered my new Air. Thanks for a great video.
This is awesome !! I don't have a WATCH for payment but this will come in handy when selling prints at events rather then waiting for an online gallery. Thanks Alex 👍🏻
Thank you for this video. I'm in process of deciding which payment provider to use for my small business and SumUp is one of my top two choices so seeing the reader in action has been very helpful. Thank you.
looks great, it's peaked my interest too, good for selling goods/service at events and even make ebay selling more reliable if the customer wants to see an item before paying. good idea
Not long started a small business and looking into card machines. So many costly ones. Just purchased the sumup at £19 and its so easy to set up. Payments go through fast aswell. Let you know next week on payments to my account as they can take around 3 working days. So far so good.
Thanks for the review. Was looking at getting this as I organise wine tasting events and most people need to pay on the night. The review helped with my decision, so thanks again!
Thinking of buying one for my barber shop as the local banks have closed leaving only two cash machines in my local shopping centre. So this little device will come in very handy
It takes seconds for the customer to pay but up to 3 days before it shows up in your bank on Sumup. Get square it's next day in the bank and if you want it in the bank same day you pay 1 percent which is about 50p for sending 50 quid.
I've ordered one - it's in the post! I got it for only £15 as I did a bit of fiddling around with the app and the website and used a referral code I created myself to get the price way down! ;)
Does this have like a tap and go donation feature? So if I'm busking, can I set it to take £1 donations without having to reset it up for each donation? Or will I have to stop what I'm doing to program it each time someone wants to donate?
Thanks this video was very informative. I have been looking for a card reader to use at my upcoming Showcase at House of Blues San Diego to sell Merchandise for my music. I was a little worried about finding the right one but I'm convinced I wanna use this for the event.
If you are a 1 person small business starter, then yes i would recommend sumup or izettle whichever is best for you. They both record the transactions of each item, so you can always look back for tax payment or whatever.
But your video didnt address where the money actually goes if someone swipes it say after you clean their windows. Are bank accounts credited and debited in realtime or what is this story with that? And why have you to put a Pound on it for it too work? Thanks.
From what I’ve seen, I think you link it to your bank account when you sign up and then it takes about 3 days to be deposited into your bank from sunup.
Guys just to let you know it take 2-3 working days to credit your bank account. Sometimes they retain some of your money and you'll get probably 10% of your daily sales. I'd recommend using your own bank to set it up
Great video. Very helpful. Thank you. I am now thinking of getting a sum up air for using at some craft fairs that I am booked into so people have the option of paying by card if they don’t have cash. Would this sum up air be a useful thing to have for that please and do you have to have a separate business account or can you set up so any payments made can go straight into your personal bank account. Also do you have to have a separate printer to print out a receipt or do you just enter a persons email address once payment has gone through. Thank you
@Alex Pettitt Hi, i ordered one, got it today, i did tester payment sent £1 to my self with the receipt, the receipt sent to my email, was very alarming, it gave out my full personal address,and my full name totally breaching my privacy,and leaving me wide ope to fraud as the customer would have most of my private info, did or does your sum up give out your private address,and your full name?, or do you know way not to send that info
Do you know if you can set up the reader to get compulsory donations/tips where someone can set a given amount and just pay? Or does it require setting up an amount in the app and sending it to the reader every time?
Good review the device is very well built and works great got mine for £19.00 + £3.80 shipping Android users check you have at the very least Bluetooth 4 otherwise it will not work iPhone 5 and above is fine.
We have a shop and we use lloyds card net, but in the past year has crashed a few times this year, can i use sum up as an emergency back up like once or twice a year?
Does this device calculate taxes for different states in the USA or do I have to account for the difference in the cost of each price differences in each type of item
Hi Alex, Very clear video, thanks! Can I download the app for the same profile on multiple devices, both on my phone and my tablet? Some apps, Whatsapp for instance, will allow you to use their app on 1 device only.
I know im a little late to the party but have two Q's. Do you need to have the app linked to a business account or can you use a personal one? will it work anywhere or do you need wifi?
I have a question. Have you heard of any negitivity about this company? I was going to use square but there is so much bad press involving them holding funds and closing accounts i was wondering if sumup is the same or better. We are in usa. Thanks
Had to come WATCH this. We have an event for work in May that will include an auction component. Our current service is much higher so this would be a nice and fast option. Do you know if we could purchase more than 1 and have them all logged in to work under the same account?
Adri SZ Hey this is a great use case and SumUp actually had a special feature called "employees" for this. There's one main account that has all the bank depositing details in etc, and then you set up employee accounts that just enable multiple employees to take payment. Check out their website for more info, but the short answer to your questions I believe is YES :)
Is there a video on RUclips that will show me how to open the Is Box and show me how many different ways you can swipe the card maybe you can even tell me what color the sum up is..... Or maybe somebody on here can actually show us how to SU charge multiple different items or services In one lump payment sum do I have to add or punch in the numbers the sum up unit itself and then create an invoice
Good video Bro 🙏. Q...... Do sum up have their own bank then. Or is it linked to your own bank ? Mine turned up today. Just been to busy to check it out yet
Any chance I take a payment by phone, with the details bank card, like long number in the front car, expired date and the 3 digits in the back. Because I need take a lot payment by phone.
im brand new to this wondering if somebody could help do they take the transaction fee automatically out from the payment or do you get a monthly statement from them?
does only approved transactions go through? for example, lets say a customer wants to pay with a card but they dont have sufficient funds (tho they do not know) and they insert the card, will it get declined right there and then? i just want to know to ensure i will be getting paid for my goods and services. TIA
i'm just guessing, but surely, if they dont have funds, then it will decline. if it approves, then it would be the banks responsibility for approving a transaction which should not have been approved.

I'm seeking a replacement for an izettle device but they are asking for some £59+ vat for a replacement.... So yes your video is appealing but have you had any feedback from other viewers who have used it?
Hey, thanks for the comment! I've personally had a couple of people reach out and thank me for making the video and say that they are having success using SumUp. I've yet to hear any problems with it. I don't take that many personal payment as most of what I do is online, but when I do, it works great for me. Sorry I'm not able to help more, but I will say that so far I've found it great :)

Thank you for this review! You helped me double check this reader has everything I need before signing up with SumUp.
One of the best purchases we've made for our small business. Customers are also amazed by its convenience.
Thanks M D! Glad you like it!
Is it still working well for you & have you had any issues in the ladt 10 months? Im thinking of buying one to use at craft fairs.
My coke dealer needs to get this!
pappachook 🤣
Lol
I am that coke dealer
This is awesome !! I don't have a WATCH for payment but this will come in handy when selling prints at events rather then waiting for an online gallery. Thanks Alex 👍🏻
Love what you did there Phil ;)

In Brazil this card reader use AAA batteries and do not have NFC.
This answered all my questions! It was great. Thanks. I'm going to buy the device now.
What about tips? Is there a tip option on the sum Up device?
Do I need a wifi connection to use this? Or can I do it out and about when there’s very low connection

payment sent £1 to my self with the receipt, the receipt sent to my

as the customer would have most of my private info, did or does your sum
up give out your private address,and your full name?, or do you know
way not to send that info
Great machine had it couple of months no problems so far money in account few days u can pick it up 19.99 plus vat if u look for that offer

Of course you need an account set up. But if you’re account doesn’t have an active card yet. Does that mean your payments won’t go through?

Currently got this device but don't think it supports "card not present" payments?
Can i use a different card reader for the pos account or mandatory it has to be the sumup card reader?
Thanks so much. I've managed to set it up by following your instructions. Very clear.
Can you transfers the money to your bank 🏦 how. Can collect the payments
So how does it work when your client is on the phone ? Do they just give you their details can I input their card details
Im here for this question. Ive purchased it. I love it but I want to know if I can do this somehow...
MPandevents I don’t think you can do over the phone care payments
Can this be used for bank transfers aswell, for example if the person who is paying, wants to pay through the phone.

Great video but how do you delete payments off mobile phone history
I have an iPhone with iOS 6.1.6. Will this work or do I need a more modern / up-to-date one?
Hi Alex, does Sumup take payments if the customer is not present, i.e. phone payments and if so, how does this work? Thank you. Theresa
does only approved transactions go through? for example, lets say a customer wants to pay with a card but they dont have sufficient funds (tho they do not know) and they insert the card, will it get declined right there and then? i just want to know to ensure i will be getting paid for my goods and services. TIA
i'm just guessing, but surely, if they dont have funds, then it will decline.
if it approves, then it would be the banks responsibility for approving a transaction which should not have been approved.
I doubt they will claw-back the money from your account.
I pretty sure this is how it should work.
Hopefully I am not proved wrong

only two workings (banking) days to receive funds correctly?
