      I was actually going to use this at work. I deliver furniture and sometimes folks "don't have cash, sorry" sucks. This at the least will get a laugh out of me. Seeing their faces as I whip out this thing. 😂 Put them on the spot to get a tip for carrying all the heavy shit up stairs.

    I've been using Paypal Here for some time. It's been good but the point of sale experience has sometimes been marred by comms failures and bluetooth registration failure. The SUmUp device looks So much faster to use at the point of sale. I also like the transactions go direct to your nominated bank account, rather than via Paypal. I'm sold. I've registered and ordered my new Air. Thanks for a great video.

I am now thinking of getting a sum up air for using at some craft fairs that I am booked into so people have the option of paying by card if they don’t have cash. Would this sum up air be a useful thing to have for that please and do you have to have a separate business account or can you set up so any payments made can go straight into your personal bank account. Also do you have to have a separate printer to print out a receipt or do you just enter a persons email address once payment has gone through. Thank you

    • @AlexPettitt
      @AlexPettitt  Před 7 lety +2

      Adri SZ Hey this is a great use case and SumUp actually had a special feature called "employees" for this. There's one main account that has all the bank depositing details in etc, and then you set up employee accounts that just enable multiple employees to take payment. Check out their website for more info, but the short answer to your questions I believe is YES :)

    It takes seconds for the customer to pay but up to 3 days before it shows up in your bank on Sumup. Get square it's next day in the bank and if you want it in the bank same day you pay 1 percent which is about 50p for sending 50 quid.

    • @applebebe2002
      @applebebe2002 Před 2 lety

      i'm just guessing, but surely, if they dont have funds, then it will decline.
      if it approves, then it would be the banks responsibility for approving a transaction which should not have been approved.
      I doubt they will claw-back the money from your account.
      I pretty sure this is how it should work.
      Hopefully I am not proved wrong

      From what I’ve seen, I think you link it to your bank account when you sign up and then it takes about 3 days to be deposited into your bank from sunup.

      Guys just to let you know it take 2-3 working days to credit your bank account. Sometimes they retain some of your money and you'll get probably 10% of your daily sales. I'd recommend using your own bank to set it up

    I don't understand do you link it to a debit card or to a bank account to receive the money
