On the equipment side, there are three options to choose from: remote payments and a virtual terminal.

One-time payment of $35 To be sure the card reader is always charged and ready to use, it can be placed in the Plus Cradle. The Cradle also serves as a stand for the Plus when not in use. Get the Cradle Bundle for a one-time payment of just $45!
The SumUp Pro Card Reader was designed for merchants who want a standalone device to accept debit and credit card payments. It comes with a one-time purchase price of $59, and you can create subaccounts for your employees, so they can log in without seeing your account details. To charge it, use the USB type C cable to connect it to your computer or another power source - when fully charged, the battery will last for 50+ transactions. You also have the option of connecting it to the SumUp Pro Printer, which keeps your card reader powered up.
The Solo Card Reader, priced at $99, allows you to accept credit and debit card payments, including Apple Pay and Google Pay. To use the device, you must have access to WiFi or set up data with a built-in SIM card and unlimited data.
SumUp Point of Sale (POS) is designed to streamline business operations and grow customer databases. Automated marketing campaigns can attract new customers and bring back previous ones, while the checkout process runs seamlessly with customers able to sign up for loyalty programs before paying. Additionally, menu management and sales reporting tools make it easier than ever to manage your business.
Remote Payments can be accepted if you aren’t face-to-face with the customer. This can be done by sending Payment Links by email or text on any messaging app. You can also create invoices, and take payments over the phone with a virtual terminal found on the app. Additionally, businesses have the option of generating invoices remotely while they are out and about.
Regardless of how you take payments, there is only one app. The SumUp app can manage your products, handle taxes, track sales, manage multiple employees, keep track of tips, handle cash payments, and send digital receipts.
