Connect SumUp to Count-IT

With the SumUp integration you send the amount from Count-IT to your SumUp terminal and the payment comes back to the POS system automatically.

In short

Count-IT starts the payment on your SumUp terminal and receives the payment status back, so you key in nothing and your day closing adds up. You connect your SumUp account and register the terminal in Count-IT. Suitable for shops, hospitality businesses and concept stores that take card payments with SumUp.

SumUp offers compact card readers for accepting debit, credit and contactless payments, without fixed monthly fees: you pay SumUp per transaction.

How it works

You log in to SumUp from Count-IT and give Count-IT access; you do not enter API keys or passwords. Then you choose the merchant, register the terminal with the pairing code of your SumUp card reader and add it in the POS hardware settings and link it to a payment method. At checkout, Count-IT sends the amount to the terminal; the customer pays and the outcome comes back into the sale.

You can set how often Count-IT checks the status with SumUp during a payment (the payment status interval). Leave the field empty and Count-IT uses the default.

Mobile and flexible

Because Count-IT runs in the browser and as an app, you can also take payments at a market, event or terrace with a tablet or phone and a SumUp terminal.

Synchronisation

What is synchronised?

This is the data Count-IT exchanges with SumUp, and the direction in which it flows.

Data Count-IT exchanges with SumUp
Data	Direction
Card payments (amount to the terminal, result back)	Both directions

You choose which data types and directions you use for each integration. Pick one leading system per data type, so changes do not overwrite each other.

Setup

How to set it up

Add and connect the app
Add SumUp via Settings › Master data › App connector › Apps, log in to SumUp to give Count-IT access and choose your merchant.
Link the terminal
Under Settings › Hardware › Hardware, choose the SumUp app and then the terminal that belongs to the POS system.
Set up the payment method
Link the terminal to a payment method, so the POS sends the amount to the terminal automatically at checkout.
Make a test payment
Make a test payment with a small amount. If an outcome is ever unclear, check the status in Count-IT and with SumUp before you charge again.

SumUp charges no fixed monthly fees but a fee per transaction. You can find the current rates at SumUp.

What should I do if a payment on the terminal fails?
