How to Switch from SumUp to Dojo
If your SumUp reader is starting to feel like a limitation rather than a tool, you are not alone. We help businesses upgrade from SumUp to Dojo every week: a proper terminal with built-in 4G, a receipt printer, and next-day payouts. SumUp has no contract, so the switch costs you nothing. Here is exactly how the process works.

Give us a call or fill in the online form. We will compare what you are paying on SumUp with what Dojo would cost at your volume. Completely no obligation. If the maths does not add up, we will tell you straight.
Dojo Application & Approval
24 hours
We submit the Dojo application for you. You will need your business details, a form of ID, and the bank account you want payouts sent to. Approval is subject to Dojo's process and typically comes back within one working day.
Receive & Test Your Dojo Terminal
1-2 days
Your Dojo terminal arrives ready to go with touchscreen, 4G, WiFi, and a receipt printer all built in. Set it up alongside your SumUp reader and run a few real transactions. The difference in build quality is immediately obvious.
Go Live with Dojo
Same day
When you are happy, start processing all payments through Dojo. Your first payout hits your bank the next business day, quicker than SumUp and available every day of the week.
Stop Using SumUp
Instant
Put the SumUp reader in a drawer. No phone call, no cancellation form, no notice period, no fee. You own it, so just stop using it whenever you are ready.
