Cloud API

The Cloud API allows you to start a transaction from a POS running on any platform (Windows, iOS, Linux, Android, Web-based etc) and get paid via a Solo reader.

How does it work?

The Cloud API works as bridge between your application and the Solo reader. The Cloud API has 2 keys processes:

• Pairing a Solo reader to your account. See the guide here
• Taking an in-person payment via Solo.

Once the Solo is paired to your SumUp account you can initiate a request to charge a card from your application and SumUp handles the rest. Your customer goes through a seamless payment experience where all card data is encrypted from end-to-end. Once the payment has been processed the transaction result is available in real time via webhooks.

The Cloud API integration supports:

• Debit, credit and installments transactions.
• Pairing multiple Solo readers to any SumUp account
• Naming each Solo reader as you see fit to guarantee a smooth checkout
• Webhooks to inform transaction result in real time
• Wifi and Cellular connectivity
