SumUp: features, pricing and who it fits
SumUp began as a card reader company and now sells a POS Lite plan at $0 per month with flat processing rates. It targets market stalls and micro businesses. Larger retailers and full-service restaurants will find it too light, especially for deep inventory work.
Who SumUp is for
Best for
