Do I Have to Use the SumUp Card Reader Every Month?

Small seasonal businesses will especially appreciate this. Even if you don’t use the card reader for several months, they will not cancel your account or charge you for those inactive months. Remember, there are no monthly fees, they just charge you per transaction. However, according to their terms and conditions, if there is no activity in your SumUp account for two (2) years, consecutively, they will send a notification to your registered email address and in case you do not respond to the notice within thirty (30) days and state that you want to keep your account, they will automatically close your account. Seems fair enough.

Restricted Businesses and High-Risk Businesses

Signing up for an account is easy and done online with no paper applications. Their pricing is straight forward and there are no hidden fees.Using SumUp requires a compatible mobile device and Internet connection, as do all wireless credit card machines or mobile card readers.  

Not all business will qualify to process transaction on SumUp mobile card reader. SumUp operates under strict conditions imposed by the financial regulator, the card schemes (Visa, MasterCard, etc. ), and the acquiring bank—who acts as a gateway to the card services, so they are not able to support every business model.

For instance, some business that will not be able to get a SumUp account include businesses involving content that is subject to the protection of minors or involving or being connected to any illegal content.  Likewise, businesses related to gambling services, whether illegal or not, under any applicable laws, businesses that are related to adult entertainment and businesses that are related to weapons or illegal drugs or products will not be able to get approval for a SumUp account. 

Do Your Homework Before Purchasing a Wireless Credit Card Processing Machine

There are a number of choices to choose from and it depends on the size of your business, the volume of credit card payments you take, whether you are a startup business and where you want to take payments.  For Instance, if you have a high volume business at your bricks and mortar store, but occasionally do parties, country fairs or work in the field, then you may use one solution in-store and SumUp for when you are out in the field. Here are some other wireless credit card processing machine choices we advise merchants on which provide great customer support and are well-accepted in the industry.
