A reliable and simple to use way of taking card payments, where you get paid quickly!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I typically use SumUp to sell books and products at exhibitions and events. It makes it easy to sell these products to customers and people who wish to make their purchase using a credit or debit card. Although there are other options available now, when I originally chose SumUp, the options for taking card payments were much more limited and a lot more expensive (often with monthly fees attached in addition to transaction fees).
