How Quality Internet Solutions uses SumUp with our clients
Not only is SumUp really easy to set up, but it is probably the easiest EPOS payment system we have ever implemented. The main feature that wowed our technical developers was the ease-of-access element, whereby the card terminal itself linked up via Bluetooth. To some, this may not seem like that big a deal; however, it also has some hidden extras.
The solution we adopted linked the terminal to an iPad, which was armed with a bespoke EPOS system that is accessed online. This feature is becoming more common these days, as we are being asked almost weekly to look into removing archaic till terminals and replacing them with mobile and user-friendly alternatives.
The hidden extras with the Sumup card terminal really did make light work of our Till implementation. Firstly, the configuration options allow a simple link-up to a thermal receipt printer (Purchased separately). In addition, it also allowed us to set up options for the Tin Draw to open, as well as some other little extras. All this from a simple little white box; it really has changed the way EPOS systems operate, making our job super efficient.
