Review for SumUp by Fitzgerald Electrical & Plumbing Solutions

I have been thinking of getting a card machine for a while after being asked by customers now and then if I took card payment, I decided to get one and after doing a bit of research I decided the sum up was the best value in terms of fees and I got a great deal on the machine. I decided I was going with the stand alone reader with built in printer as it is obvious card payments are only going to increase in time so rather than get the basic machine and then upgrade later I went for the top one. Easy to set up for payment to your account and does not need to connect to your phone so just charge it and go! Payment to my account is pretty fast usually within a day or two and looks good when you say I can take card payment so no waiting for payment from customers or having to go pay Cheques in at the bank

I have just purchased the SumUp card reader through the Tool Talk app.
First The Tool Talk app is really easy to use ordering was nice and simple delivery was fast with no fuss or hassle.
I have just set the reader up and performed a test initial thoughts extremely easy to set up instructions on the app are easy to follow. It is a massive bonus that there is no contract or monthly fee minimum transactions to keep it active etc.
The app is easy to navigate and will be very easy to use when on site taking payments.
Big thumbs up

I wanted a card reader for the odd card payment and didnt want to be tied down to a contact or monthly payments, I looked at a few others but decided on SumUp I purchase their basic reader which uses an app on my phone, I havnt had any issues yet and find the fees fair considering there is no other costs involved,
If you are taking lots of card payments the fees might build up and a monthly fee option would probably be best suited

Great way to get money into your account when customer keeps making excuses. Very competitive rates and money hits my account before you know it. Like the way it also lets you check payments on your computer. Have heard some people say large payments get delayed but never had that issue personally.

Great machine allows me to make sure I get paid straight away, no waiting for payments 2-3 weeks later.
Small fee for ushering, money paid into my account within a few days. Easy to set up to your phone using app, can send receipt via text message and allows payments on bank cards and most major credit cards. Never had a problem with payment from SumUp

Great little device!! I use this more for our Sunday football team when people don’t bring cash with them. Easy to set up and link with your phone and bank with very small fees. Can also very easily see what information you need, set prices for products and give refunds all in a matter of seconds

Great product easy to use and makes life a lot easier in getting payments off customers, we are a Groundworks company and do a lot of domestic work so having the card ready makes it easier for the customer to make payments which is what we all want at the end of the day!! Overall great product.
Thanks Terry

Looks like I got my card reader a bit cheaper than most reviews here as mine was only £20. So handy in the current global situation where nobody wants to handle cash. Best thing is there’s no monthly fee, just a 1.69% free on each transaction, so that’s £1.69 per £100. Worth it to get paid quickly! Needs to Bluetooth to a mobile to get the network connection, and make sure it’s charged up and ready to go!

I’ve now been using sumup for almost 2 years and I’ve been very happy with the service. I have the basic card reader which cost about £30. However any current user can give you a recommendation code to discount the cost of the card reader.
There are a number of other readers available including one that incorporates a printer.
There are no monthly costs but each transaction carries a percentage cost starting at 1.69% depending upon the method used. Payments clear quickly also directly into your chosen bank account.

Great bit of kit no doubt! Great to take card payments but customer services is poor! And warranty and cover is bad too I mean if it drops it has a glass top and cracks or breaks they don't replace it! I find square better.

Nice easy to use bit of kit not too expensive to buy no regular fees just a small % every transaction it's good to have an alternative payment option for customers

Cheap fees and a great little add on to allow customers to pay by card well liked by the more senior customers that are not internet savvy to make a bank transfer

Cheapest card fees I could find and the unit works really well. Not as flash as the ones in shops but never had a problem taking payment. You have to wait 2 days to get funds but no massive issue.

I do try to avoid taking card payments as bank transfers are free but at 1.98% a transaction it’s not too bad for having the peace of mind of actually being paid.

Was advised to get sumup from a customer and have used it many times since. It us a great way of getting paid from your customer and it will be in your bank within a day or two.

Have the basic sum up card reader, it's very good value for money, customers love that fact that I can accept card payments, which also allows them to use a credit card if need be. Charges and fees are very reasonable without any monthly cost.

Excellent mobile card reader and comes in handy collecting payments on the job instead of chasing after customers for late payments. reasonable rates lower than my previous company i used and a smart card reader. money transferred usually within 3 business days.

I’ve been with SumUp over a year now. Swapped over when they took over payleven. The transfer was seamless, they kept me informed throughout. The rates are reasonable the card reader a useful size and simple to use. The payments also come through quite quickly, when with payleven this was an issue. I would recommend them to anyone wanted a mobile solution for card payments.

Been using Sumup for over 2 years. Can't knock the service, never had any issues apart from dropping my air reader which rendered the device blocked, safety feature as it thinks it's being hacked, sumup sent out a new one for free even though it was 2 years old. Fees are great and the payment summary reports keep my accountant happy. Nothing more to say.

I have had this machine for a number of months now. So far I’m quite impressed and so are my customers. It’s quick and easy to take a payment and usually takes less then a week to receive payment from sum up. I believe I paid roughly £20 for the machine and of course there are no monthly charges, just 2% taken in each transaction. My only minor grumble would be that I would like the feature to take care payments over the phone to get payments from those clients who “forget” to pay their bills!

It’s great to be able to accept cards on the go but this company can basically take as long as they like to pay you especially if the money is like a boiler installation
Waited 2 months to get my money out of them
Ok for small jobs but would not use this if your waiting on the money

I’ve had this card reader for a couple of years now and used it a handful of times. Most of the time my customers bank transfer me but I’ve had a couple of customers who have wanted to pay via card. It is the lowest charge and the payment hits my account in a couple of days. It is Anoying you get charged a % of the total transaction so you costs me to have a customer pay via card but it means I get paid quicker and know I’ve been paid before I leave the customers house

Had the wee machine for 6 weeks now and it is great and easy to use and set up. Payments take a few days till in account. Fees are reasonable. Recommend Sum up if you are looking to take some payments by card.

Great value for money, one off payment for machine and there always seems to be deals on. No monthly contact and lowest percentage commission. I tend to use it for occasional small payments. Easy set up through app on my phone. Would definitely recommend.

What are the costs involved with a basic card reader? Want one for small jobs to make payment easier but unsure about the value of it.

Basic card reader is about £30 and then each transaction has a cost of 1.69%
I’ve been using it for almost 2 years now and I’m very pleased.
