FAQ
How do I retrieve an affiliate key?
How do I check completed transactions?
Our API provides endpoints where you can query transaction statuses, either for a single transaction or a list of transactions based on search criteria.
Can I get a test profile?
To get started with SumUp first login (if you don't have a SumUp profile you will first need to register). To activate your SumUp Profile follow the Activate my profile steps.
Once you have an active SumUp Profile, go to https://developer.sumup.com/, navigate to the Test profile setup page by clicking on "Create test account" on the right side of the navigation, and then create your profile by click on the "Setup test profile" button. Your Test profile will be created for the same country as your merchant.
Once your profile is generated copy and store safely the user name (format: 32 [email protected]) and randomly generated unique password.
Note: You will not be able to access your password afterwards make sure to store it safely before dismissing the message
Can I integrate SumUp to my website?
Yes, as a SumUp merchant you have the option to integrate SumUp’s eCommerce service with a webshop plugin or via direct integration.
SumUp’s official plugin supports integrations with WordPress/WooCommerce.
For PrestaShop users we recommend this plugin developed by a SumUp partner.
