I was actually going to use this at work. I deliver furniture and sometimes folks "don't have cash, sorry" sucks. This at the least will get a laugh out of me. Seeing their faces as I whip out this thing. 😂 Put them on the spot to get a tip for carrying all the heavy shit up stairs.
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.
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 👍🏻
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!
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.
I'm a driving instructor and I've had one for about 10 months now it's awesome Never let me down, the app is very easy to use simple and they always pay into my account on time.
@@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
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.
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.
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
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
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'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! ;)
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.
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
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
Alex, excellent explanation but I am wondering if I could use any worldwide credit card because I travel a lot and happens sometimes to be at a country that the currency is not ponds. Does the device make the conversion automatically?… I am a little confused. Do you happen to know this information?… Thanks
Hi, how is this working for your photography business? Have you had any issues with the total amount exception? Also to receive your money where does it link to?
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 :)
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.
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.
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?
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
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 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?
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
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?
i'm actually worried about using it just incase there's hidden contract details like a minumum payment or some other sneaky payment they get off you or is it a genuine great to use device? Andy
@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

Really glad to hear that this will be useful to you for selling prints and events. Let me know how you find it :)
Thank you for this review! You helped me double check this reader has everything I need before signing up with SumUp.
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!
I've just got a SumUp Air, ready for a market I'm doing tomorrow. This was a really helpful explanation. Thank you.

Ive just bought one as A Barber your video was really helpful & easy to follow as a review Thanks 👍
I was considering getting one of these and this video answered my questions. I will order it now. Thank you.
Found your review really helpful and have now purchased the Sum Up Air. Thanks for your help.
Thanks for the review- I've been looking to get something like this but could never decide. This gizmo seems simple and effecient.
This answered all my questions! It was great. Thanks. I'm going to buy the device now.
I'm a driving instructor and I've had one for about 10 months now it's awesome
Never let me down, the app is very easy to use simple and they always pay into my account on time.
It's connected through Bluetooth? How long does the money take to post into your bank account?? Thank you.

Yes Bluetooth and you need internet on your phone which all phones have now
@@Lutonguy999 thank you so much for your response && info 👍 be safe 😀
Can you take payments over the phone with this?
It looks amazing and it’s just what I was looking for

How has SumUp worked out for you??
Using it today for my market - tried it once it all seems good to go - thankyou
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.
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.
I just got the updated version and I can't wait to test it. Cheaper than Square... Plus, Square does work everytime.
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
Great review, will definately get one for the toy fair we are attending. Thanks :)

Thanks so much. I've managed to set it up by following your instructions. Very clear.
Thanks for this - very useful review. Could you add in which way up the card goes if you slot the card into the reader? Thanks
Thank you for your quick overview.
Great review , decided of the back of your review to try it

I have just applied to buy one looking forward to receiving it.. Will be ideal for my business on the move as I am a boot fair and market seller.
Thank you it was very helpful. I am getting ready for my first craft market. And I was looking for a suitable contactless payment method.
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! ;)
Where did you get the referral code ?
Just ordered one!!
Thanks, looks like what I need.
Thanks for the vid, stuck between this and izettle. Think you've swung it for me. Liked. Many thanks.

After this video i might get one of these.
Thanks for this thinking about getting one 😉
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
Alex, excellent explanation but I am wondering if I could use any worldwide credit card because I travel a lot and happens sometimes to be at a country that the currency is not ponds. Does the device make the conversion automatically?… I am a little confused. Do you happen to know this information?… Thanks
What about tips? Is there a tip option on the sum Up device?
Great stuff for small business
WATCH as I found this on your snapchat!
Just bought mine for photography!

No doubt you'll love it Martin!

It also accepts Samsung Pay in Switzerland

Ps, Am I looking a little red / purple in this video? Guys remind me not to colour grade my RUclips videos at 4am again 😂
You look fine didn’t notice! Here 3 years later really useful vid
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
Really helpful
LOVE IT!
Thx i ll go to the store to buy one
Do I need a wifi connection to use this? Or can I do it out and about when there’s very low connection
In Brazil this card reader use AAA batteries and do not have NFC.
Can this be used for bank transfers aswell, for example if the person who is paying, wants to pay through the phone.
I have an iPhone with iOS 6.1.6. Will this work or do I need a more modern / up-to-date one?
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.
Yes... I WATCHed it
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?
Just ordered one for back up as PayPal reader failed .
Was wondering if there was a suitable mount for my cab?
yes just bought one
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
Im getting ready to start selling blueberries so I will need something quick and easy to work with... This seems great
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?
Wow never knew Ozil was doing on line reviews
Looks good Alex 👌🏼 Watch
How do you transfer the money to your bank account after each transaction people make when they pay?????
only two workings (banking) days to receive funds correctly?
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?
i'm actually worried about using it just incase there's hidden contract details like a minumum payment or some other sneaky payment they get off you or is it a genuine great to use device? Andy
Can you use the machine on different days and change the account destination for the takings,
Great video but how do you delete payments off mobile phone history
whats the average wait time for payments to be transferred into customer account please?
@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
How long does the money take to go into an account? Guessing 5-7 days?
Does it need a data connection or does it connect via the phone app?
I bought one today, can you give me other options on not using my own phone??
Thanks cool review, I'm getting one for the street begging..whoop whoop "spare a lil change please"
"Sorry I don't carry cash"
"No cash no problems"
Can i use a different card reader for the pos account or mandatory it has to be the sumup card reader?
Great review! Thank you. Are clients able to tip on this? I don't want to hand my clients my phone anymore. Makeup Artist here.
