You can now protect Solo menu access in unattended Cloud API setups with a 4-digit passcode. Menu lock is available on Solo readers running firmware 3.3.44.0 or higher.
New reader settings endpoints let you:
Enable or disable menu lock on a paired Solo reader
Set or update the 4-digit passcode
Retrieve the current menu lock configuration for a reader
Use PATCH /v0.1/merchants/{merchant_code}/readers/{reader_id}/settings to update settings and GET on the same path to consult them. The reader must be online for updates to apply.
See the Cloud API guide for request examples and integration notes.
We are happy to announce the release of the SumUp CLI(Opens in a new tab), a command-line tool for interacting with SumUp APIs directly from your terminal.
Use the CLI to explore API operations, manage your SumUp account, create online checkouts, control paired readers, and automate workflows with JSON output. It also supports saved merchant context, shell completion, and generated man pages.
Hosted Checkout is now available for Online Payments.
Hosted Checkout gives you a SumUp-hosted payment page. Your integration creates the checkout server-side, receives a hosted_checkout_url, and redirects the customer to a SumUp-hosted page to complete the payment.
This release is designed for merchants and platforms that want the fastest path to launch online payments without building or hosting their own checkout UI.
What you can do with Hosted Checkout:
Create a checkout with hosted_checkout.enabled set to true.
Redirect customers to the returned hosted payment page.
Add a redirect_url so the success page links back to your website.
Let SumUp handle the payment page and final status screens while your backend verifies the final state through the API or webhooks.
See the new Hosted Checkout guide for the full flow, SDK examples, and integration details.

Today we are announcing the deprecation of support for API requests that include a trailing slash at the end of the URL.
While our documentation has never endorsed this pattern, we identified a small number of clients still relying on it.
To ensure a smooth transition, a 2-month grace period will apply before the behavior is fully removed.
Details
Requests using URLs that end with / (e.g., /v0.1/checkouts/) will continue to work during the grace period.
After the grace period ends, these requests will return an error.
Please consult the API documentation and update any API calls that include a trailing slash.
This change typically only requires removing the final / in affected endpoints.
