It’s a really useful tool to have as a small business and I also really like that there is not a monthly subscription. > > **Cons**: It’s high in processing fees unfortunately I think that’s the same for all pos systems which is just something I have to deal with. > > It’s still a fantastic system to use and really straight forward\! I have started using the app too to help customers pay which has been great ----- ### "No Complaints, an effective product and service." — 5.0/5 > **Katie** | *11 November 2024* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's simple to set up, simple to use, and the fees are very fair. > > **Cons**: Initially when first using the product, it was challenging to set up phones with the card reader, but later updates have made this much simpler. > > I've used SumUp in multiple businesses and often as a consumer. As a product and service, it's very fairly priced and makes card payment accessible to every business. I have no negatives, it is quick and easy to set up and tracking data and making notes on payments is simple. ----- ### "Love collecting points\!" — 4.0/5 > **Steph** | *1 July 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I enjoy collecting point for things I’m already buying\! > > **Cons**: I wish there was a way to get points from the app. Some stores machines aren’t always in service to get my points. ----- ### "Not just for your normal businesses." — 5.0/5 > **Phoebe** | *9 June 2020* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like being able to implement rewards for students that I work with to encourage them to keep on attending tutoring sessions while saving a significant amount of money compared to other starting prices for other private tutors. It is also an incentive for parents or students to push their kids to keep on developing their skills while supporting my own tutoring business. > > **Cons**: There is nothing wrong with this software. I have enjoyed every feature and I am excited for new updates and ways to engage with my clients. > > As I mentioned before, Fivestars has enabled me to engage with my clients and their parents without having to make them spend a lot of money for other tutors and learning academies. They are able to enjoy the coupons and rewards while having the feeling that they can trust my abilities in teaching and tutoring. Fivestars has been easy to use and very important to my business. ----- ### "Decent tbh" — 5.0/5 > **Billy** | *21 April 2025* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: \[sensitive content hidden\] was chill with me and helpful\! Its simplicity and ease of use. The setup process was quick, and the interface was very intuitive — even for team members who aren’t tech-savvy. I also appreciated the transparency in pricing and the lack of hidden fees, which made it easier to manage our small business finances. > > **Cons**: I found the transaction fees to be a bit on the higher side compared to some other options. For small businesses like myself with a high volume of low-cost transactions, those fees can add up quickly. ----- Page: 1 / 60\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/358736/sumup-air?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/358736/sumup-air) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
