SumUp Air mobile card terminal for contactless payments with Credit & Debit Card, Apple & Google Pay - NFC RFID practical money card reader

What a great product. An easy, affordable way to take payments! Used this for over a year now and had no issues. The software app is easy to use and make using this product a breeze. The app is clear and very intuitive and straight forward to set up. Adding products can be done either on the app or more importantly for us, on a laptop or PC. The format is clear and if you want to run inventory levels while using this live it is all handled seamlessly as long as you have an internet connection. The terminals, once paired with your mobile, connect quickly and won't let you down in front of customers. The work flow is smooth and once you've taken payments a couple of times you'll be at ease with using it. Adding images of your inventory makes thing easy to see when adding a purchases to the bill and the ability to add discounts on the fly is a real bonus for dealing with that haggling customer. It's a great product and my only nag is ...... it has no ability to block a device when tapping out! Meaning if you have Google or Apple Pay on your own phone and hold the terminal in the same hand as your phone at the time of purchase, your phone will trigger the payment. It's only happened once, but it happened. Blocking your own mobile from payments would be a great addition.

Excellent all round. This was easy to setup and the machine worked well out of the box. Charging is via a micro-usb cable. Usb-c would have been better, but it's not the end of the world, considering the remarkably low price. Connection via Bluetooth works fine. It takes a short time to send the payment request to the machine, but it works flawlessly. My daughter has setup a basic business account on there. It's very easy to understand and keeps track of all sales. It's perfect for her post-University craft sales. No need to be a registered company as you just set it up as a sole trader and select the type of items you'll be selling. You can even pre-aresnge sales for specific items, so all yo need to do is click on them in the app. It works fine on Android. The ap even supports NFC payments in the phone, which wasn't expected as it suggested only Apple phones worked when we researched it. The reader makes it look far more professional and secure for buyers. The device seems quite durable and should withstand a few accidental short drops. Overall, initial views are really positive. We'll see how it does in regular use.

Deciding who to get your merchant account t with can be a daunting task. For our purpose, we can have low turnover, nd necer know week to week how much we will need to use card services The end of day stuff is a little basic, so you may need to choose how you do things. For our usage money needed to go to 3 different departments, as such. We did start with cash and card going through the system. After COVID we just use this for card, as we changed how we do things As I said, we need to split money into departments, so to make it easy we have these at the end of every item in the shop. [AC] for example. We can then look at sales for the last week and filter for each department. This works well For my station, I used my phone and a card reader. If I need help, and for the coffee station etc we have a second card reader, and if I am ever away, we have VG eba tablet, and it has it's own card reader. Then we have VG eba spare one in a box, incase you have any issues. Over the years we have had one failure of a unit. These don't really get handled with kid gloves, so we are doing pretty well I half damaged one, but still works as we put in magnetic chargers in them, and the one plug kept sliding out, so it had a little rhreadlock to stop it sliding. This was great, until it dropped and snapped off the top of the plug I was able to heat up and get the plug out. The unit has melted plastic now, but it still charges fine and has worked for over a year since that they maybe a bit tougher than I first maybe made them sound. I do drop these daily regularly too. So happy with the units and service. And just remembered, we have a solo unit idown at another site, with very occasional use. And a solo so it's stupid easy to use, without a phone, tablet, or internet connection (they have their own 4g connection).

Great for small businesses. So easy to set up and we find it works quite quickly. Two of us have our phone connected to it and it works fine for both of us. I also do deliveries and take it with me for people to pay at the door and have never had any issues. The battery is amazing we've hardly ever had to charge it. I haven't gave it 5 stars though as after one year our machine just wouldn't work anymore. It told us to contact customer support and we were told it wasn't fixable as some sort of security thing had been triggered which permanently disabled the device. Apparently this happens if there is any impact to the device, however I am 100% certain there was no impact to our device. Yes I took it delivering with me but was always ultra careful with it, there was never any drops or any impact on it so I'm very disappointed with this. However due to the cheap price I've decided to still give it 4 stars, if the same happens again with this device then I wonder if they are automatically set to disable after so long so you have to keep buying new ones? Who knows. I'll update this if anything happens to our 2nd device but hopefully it'll be fine.

Brought as a gift for a family member who is a carpenter, Works well, easy to set up with your phone, has a handy app that links to it. Good quality reader which is easy to fit in your pocket or your work bag. Overall very happy

Easy to use , portable size

It is what it says it is basically, brilliant card machine, you can use it without a business and people can pay you through Apple Pay on your phone 🙌😂, it’s great 👍🏼

This does the job. You setup a business account which comes with a virtual bank card that you can use to make payments on Google Pay wallet etc. You can receive bank transfers at no cost. Card payments get a small commission. You control the card reader with an app on your phone.
