Taking card payments with SumUp

Updated: 2026-05-24

Taking card payments with SumUp

Also known as: cobrar con tarjeta, card payment, datáfono, card reader, SumUp Solo, SumUp Air, contactless payment, take card.

Brasio takes card payments through SumUp — either the SumUp mobile app on your phone or a SumUp card reader (Air, Solo, or pinpad). Per-transaction fees are handled directly by SumUp under your merchant agreement. Brasio takes no cut of the payment.

How the card payment flow works

There is no automatic Bluetooth connection between brasio and SumUp. The flow is:

  1. In the table payment screen, choose Card.
  2. Brasio shows the amount to charge and a confirmation screen.
  3. On your phone or SumUp device, run the charge in the SumUp app for the exact amount shown.
  4. Once SumUp confirms the payment as successful, tap Charged · close ticket in brasio.

Brasio then closes the ticket, generates the Veri*factu record and prints the receipt.

Important: only confirm in brasio after SumUp shows the payment as successful. If you confirm a failed or incomplete charge, the ticket closes without payment.

Before your first card payment

You need:

  • An active SumUp merchant account (sign up at sumup.com if you don't have one and verify your business).
  • The SumUp app installed on your phone, logged into your merchant account.
  • Your SumUp card reader charged and switched on, connected to the SumUp app.

No setup is needed inside brasio — the SumUp app handles the card reader connection independently.

What if the payment fails?

  • If SumUp shows a declined or failed transaction, tap Cancel in brasio. The ticket remains open; retry the payment or switch to cash.
  • If the SumUp app doesn't respond, check that your phone has network coverage (SumUp requires internet to process card payments).
  • For SumUp-specific errors (card declined, connectivity), refer to SumUp's own support at sumup.com/support.

Fees and settlement

Per-transaction fees and settlement timing are set by SumUp under your agreement with them. Check your SumUp dashboard for the details. Brasio doesn't add any surcharge on top.
