Get paid with ease - anytime, anywhere.

Whether you’ve opted for the Solo Lite or the Solo, we believe that using your SumUp card reader should be simple and intuitive. To help you get started, we’ve collected a number of easy-to-follow guides to help you start accepting card payments as quickly as possible.

It’s really easy to take card payments with our products. You can accept either chip&PIN or contactless payments on your Solo Lite or Solo from the following cards:

• Visa

• V. PAY

• Mastercard

• American Express

• Google Pay

• Apple Pay

With Tap to Pay, you can accept contactless payments by asking your customer to hold their card over the contactless symbol at the top of the screen. Please note, with Tap to Pay on iPhone, you can accept Visa and Mastercard payments, as well as Apple Pay, Google Pay and other digital wallets. American Express payments are currently not supported for Tap to Pay on iPhone transactions.

Great, you’ve taken the first step towards taking payments for your business with ease. Once you’ve placed your order for a Solo Lite or Solo and we’ve received your payment, we’ll process your order and dispatch your device. We’ll send you a confirmation message and a tracking link via SMS and email so that you can keep an eye on its progress. If you’ve chosen Tap to Pay, you can get started straight away. Simply follow the links to create your SumUp profile, download the free SumUp app and log in. On your homescreen you’ll see ‘Tap to Pay.’

You can choose to either pay-as-you-go or subscribe with SumUp One. If you pay-as-you-go, you’ll have no monthly costs and only have to pay a standard transaction fee of 1,49% whenever you take a payment using your card reader or Tap to Pay. If you subscribe to SumUp One, you’ll pay a monthly fee of £19, but you’ll benefit from only paying 0.99% transaction fee on each payment you take.
