SumUp Solo Lite Card Reader with Charging Cradle

Take card payments at a market stall, in a salon, from a taxi or at a pop-up without installing a counter terminal. The SumUp Solo Lite is a compact card reader that connects by Bluetooth to the free SumUp app on your smartphone or tablet. Customers tap or insert their card, or pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay, and the sale goes through the app.

The payments it takes

The reader accepts contactless cards, Chip & PIN cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, which covers the ways most customers expect to pay. It uses encrypted transactions, and the pairing is wireless, so there’s no cable between the reader and your phone to snag on a busy counter.

A cradle that keeps it ready

The bundle includes a charging cradle. Set the reader on it between sales and it recharges and stays in one place, rather than getting lost in a bag or a van door pocket. For businesses that take payments through the day, a spot to leave the reader that doubles as a charger prevents the common “dead at the first customer” problem. The rechargeable battery is charged through the cradle and the supplied USB cable.

Quick to set up, no fixed contract

Setup is designed to be fast: pair the reader to the SumUp app, and you’re ready to take a payment. There’s no monthly rental or fixed contract on the reader itself. To take payments you do need a SumUp account, and SumUp’s transaction fees apply to each sale, so check their current rates before you commit.
