What do we use for our business?

We use SumUp for our own business payments. We are able to accept all card and payment types, send payment links via email and/or sms or QR code. We also use their free invoicing software which is being expanded on this year to include much more features. So, hopefully we will have one piece of software that reconciles everything we do financially online and in person. Even though we create websites ourselves. We do use the free online store which all SumUp clients receive. We use this purely for our SumUp products, to see an example of what your store might look like check us out here.

With regard to GDPR and security compliance when taking financial transactions

The Sumup payment gateway uses very high security standards to protect your transactions from unauthorized access by third parties, SumUp operates in accordance with the highest card payment industry security standards:

PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is the highest data security standard used in the credit card industry concerning data transfer and data storage.
SSl (Secure Socket Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are ‘encryption protocols’ that protect data that is transmitted over the internet. We are using 256-bit encryption, the highest possible level currently available.

SumUp device encrypts all the information as it reads the card, no unencrypted data is ever stored on both the card reader and your smartphone/tablet during the transaction process.

Taking the onus off you as a business when it comes to compliance, its taken care off. One less thing to worry about!
