SumUp Solo

The Solo card reader is available in different packages to suit your needs. By default, each Solo package includes:

• Charging station

• USB-C charging cable

• Card scheme sticker and display card

• User guide

If you want to print receipts, you can choose one of our printer bundles:

• Solo and counter printer – includes a printer that doubles as a charging station for stationary use

• Solo and mobile printer – ideal for printing on the go

Both printer bundles include the same charging cables and accessories as the Solo package, but do not include an additional charging station.

Setting up your Solo card reader is very straightforward. Simply turn on your device, follow the instructions on screen and you’re ready to take payments.

To make things even easier, we’ve created a collection of clear step-by-step guides to walk you through the setup process.

Solo accepts all major payment types – including chip & PIN, contactless payments and mobile wallets.

You can take cards from:

• Visa

• V Pay

• Mastercard

• Maestro

• American Express

• Discover

• JCB

• Diners Club

• Google Pay

• Apple Pay

• Samsung Pay

Yes, it’s designed to keep you selling wherever you are. The Solo comes with a built-in 4G SIM card and free unlimited data, so you can take payments on the go. And when WiFi is available, you can simply connect to that instead.

Charging your Solo is simple. You can use the included USB-C cable or the charging station that comes in the box. If you’ve chosen a bundle with the printer, just slot your reader into the printer to charge it there too.

You can, no phone or tablet is needed. Solo works fully on its own, so you can log in directly on the device and start taking payments straight away. Everything syncs automatically, including your item catalogue and sales history.

Absolutely. You can add multiple card readers to a single profile, making it easy for your team to take payments at the same time, whether you’re in one location or across several.

If you’d like to connect your Solo to a POS system, you can. Solo integrates with any system that supports the SumUp Cloud API. Not sure if your POS is compatible? Our Sales Team is here to help.

SumUp keeps pricing simple and transparent. You either have the choice to pay as you go or sign up for our cost-saving Payments Plus plan.

With the pay-as-you-go plan, there’s no monthly cost – you just pay 1.69% per transaction for card reader payments. This is perfect if your sales vary through the year and you want full flexibility with no monthly cost.

If you’re making more than £3,000 per month in payments, you can save on transaction fees by signing up for the Payments Plus plan. It costs £19 per month and reduces your transaction fee to 0.99% for domestic consumer cards. Online payments have a 2.50% fee, and in-person payments with non-EU or corporate cards (including AMEX) have a 1.69% fee. These rates apply to both the pay-as-you go option and the Payments Plus plan.

Your money will appear in your Business Account the next day at 7am – even on weekends and bank holidays. You can then spend or withdraw your money using your complementary Mastercard.
