Unlock the Power of Your SumUp Solo: A Friendly Guide

Welcome to the world of payment acceptance, courtesy of your new SumUp Solo Card Reader! To make this journey as smooth as possible, we’ve crafted a step-by-step guide to get you started and ready to take payments. The Solo is your trusty companion, and setting it up is a breeze.

Before we dive in, remember that during the setup process, your Solo requires a Wi-Fi connection for updates. Once that’s done, no need for Wi-Fi anymore. Now, let’s embark on this exciting setup journey.

Setting Up Your Solo: The Road to Success

1. Power up your Solo: To kick things off, locate the On/Off switch on the right side of your Solo. It’s the button with the SumUp logo. Flip that switch on and let the magic begin.

2. Language selection: A little personal touch can go a long way. Tap the drop-down menu and choose your preferred language from the options. Hit “Let’s start” to move forward.

3. Log in to your SumUp profile: This step is vital for the magic to happen. Log in and let your Solo know you mean business.

4. Connect to Wi-Fi: Your Solo will prompt you to connect to a Wi-Fi network. Remember, it’s crucial to connect to a secure network for your security. This connection is essential for the setup process.

5. Update your Solo: Your Solo needs to be up-to-date to perform at its best. When prompted, tap “Download & Install” to start the update. Don’t worry; it won’t take long.

With the update complete, your Solo is officially ready to roll, fully set up and raring to accept payments like a pro!
