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.
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
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.
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
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 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
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!
@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
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
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?
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.
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?
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.
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 :)
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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, I'm in the UK and have been browsing a lot of reviews on the web on Sum up, many of which are very negative, including very poor customer service, payments being cancelled, funds being withheld for long periods of time, extra documents requested from Sum up.....etc. I don't know whether these are false or true. 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 :)
Thanks so much man! Yeah the GoPro Hero 5 is pretty good... but I'm dying to get an new camera now. I had to give back my RX100 V, but seriously thinking about buying it again, and then later down the line getting the GH5.
Friarswood Hypnotherapy Clinic I have been using the older version of sum up, without contact less, for a year now. I had a problem once and I called then it was sorted within 4 mins. I use it daily in a small salon and have told everyone I know to get one. Hope thus helps
I've been having similar issues with Sum up and I haven't even used it yet 🙄 From sign up to verifying my business, it's been a nightmare. Wish I'd paid extra for iZettle
@@Jellyfish7904 Hi. I'm looking into getting a card reader as I'm setting up business as a sole trader. I see you have mentioned that you had issues verifying your business, could you possibly elaborate? I have read a lot of reviews about different card readers and SumUp have not got a good track record at all. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
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
Is there a video on TH-cam 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
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?
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 got mine for my window cleaning payments when customers say they have no cash, there faces when i pull my sumup out, priceless
i've lost my card lol
I'm a window cleaner too and that is exactly why I'm watching this video lol. Have you had many customers make use of it?
Lee Marshall cheers for that
Can you tell me where I can buy it or does it be sent to me

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

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.
What about tips? Is there a tip option on the sum Up device?
This answered all my questions! It was great. Thanks. I'm going to buy the device now.
Thanks for the review- I've been looking to get something like this but could never decide. This gizmo seems simple and effecient.
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

Marc Hopkins how you been getting off with it
In Brazil this card reader use AAA batteries and do not have NFC.
Do I need a wifi connection to use this? Or can I do it out and about when there’s very low connection
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.
@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
Ps, Am I looking a little red / purple in this video? Guys remind me not to colour grade my TH-cam videos at 4am again 😂
You look fine didn’t notice! Here 3 years later really useful vid
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.
Yeah that was my question too
I’m sure he does pounds because he is from the U.K. and that how their currency is
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

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.
Transferring money from my Apple Card to regular credit card be like ;)
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.
Thanks for the review, it really helped me to go and buy it!!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
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.
Just bought mine for photography!
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?
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
How do you transfer the money to your bank account after each transaction people make when they pay?????
Thank you for your quick overview.
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.
Currently got this device but don't think it supports "card not present" 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
Wow never knew Ozil was doing on line reviews
I just ordered one for my acupuncture clinic. Hope it's as good as your review

Can you use the machine on different days and change the account destination for the takings,

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?
It also accepts Samsung Pay in Switzerland
i love the sump air it very helpful in my food truck business and it work great and very useful always thank u for talking about it respect
Thanks for the vid, stuck between this and izettle. Think you've swung it for me. Liked. Many thanks.

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
teşekkürler, hızlı ve pratik olarak gösterdiğin için.
Can i use a different card reader for the pos account or mandatory it has to be the sumup card reader?
Just ordered mine with a dock. I said £28 but was more like £35 once the added vat. Very misleading adverts.
I don't understand do you link it to a debit card or to a bank account to receive the money
on registration you give your bank details
Great review , decided of the back of your review to try it
And how long does the system take to deposit the money in the bank?
I couldn't understand how to get Sumup Application. You typed Sumup at the time of video 4:14, but I cannot find the same screen on my iphone.
Just ordered one for back up as PayPal reader failed .
Was wondering if there was a suitable mount for my cab?
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
I have an iPhone with iOS 6.1.6. Will this work or do I need a more modern / up-to-date one?
I just got one, but don't know what the tick, cross and arrow are for, as there is no guide given
Is the payment received Straight away or do you have to wait for the transaction and if so how many days
what country can this be used... and do they have the type you can use on Online store
Can you transfers the money to your bank 🏦 how. Can collect the payments
Just ordered mine
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

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?
Just got on. Fantastic. Thanks.

Great video but how do you delete payments off mobile phone history
Useful information will be looking at purchasing one
They're a great idea in many ways but it's another nail in the coffin for cash. Still quite a lot of us like cash. Mixed feelings about this reader !
Can this be used for bank transfers aswell, for example if the person who is paying, wants to pay through the phone.
does anyone know if the money goes to your bank account?
