To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software.

Hello,

We’re sorry to see that you are facing disconnections with the app.

If this has become recurrent, it usually means that both your phone’s operating system and the SumUp Business app have an update pending download and installation. If you check your phone’s settings, you should be able to see if you’re running the latest version.

If the problem persists, please do get in touch with a member of our team via your account. We will gladly assist you.

Thanks,
The SumUp team

Need to make set up more user friendly

Never used a till of this nature and I don’t know what I am doing. You need different levels of help. I am sure some people find this easy but I don’t, although I have a technical theatre degree, so am very used to programming desks. I have reached out for help and hear nothing back. Frustrating because I would imagine if I could use it and get the value for money that I have spent on it, the review would be better.

Bad user experience

Which support team has been in touch with me? Because I have not received any communication from your support team addressing my issue. I have been the one repeatedly attempting to contact SumUp through your support channels and have received the same generic responses each time. Please provide the date and details of the communication you are referring to, because I have clearly not received the assistance you claim has already been provided.
