Card Reader Payments

You can accept card payments using SumUp’s platform accompanied by our proprietary Card Terminals available in these European countries, Brazil, Chile and the USA. You can offer a complete user journey through the payment flow with our SDK or you can approach a lightweight integration with our API, using the SumUp app to execute payments.

In order to fulfil other industries' business needs, you are offered a range of integration options through the Payment SDK and the API sections, and also a full list of available services through the API reference section.

Security

No sensitive data will ever be passed through or stored on the merchant’s phone. All data is encrypted by the card terminal which is certified by the relevant payment industry groups (PCI, EMV I & II, Visa, MasterCard and Amex).
