Getting started
Open the "Checkout" on the SumUp App.
Enter £1.00 into the keypad and tap "Charge". The card reader should now switch on.
Confirm the detection of your card reader in the SumUp App by clicking "Connect" once the 3 digit number shown within the app matches that of the 3-digit serial number on the back of your reader.
Your card reader will now sync your account information. This will take about 2 minutes.
