How to Switch from SumUp to Dojo

About 24-48 hours. We submit your Dojo application, the terminal ships out, and you test it while keeping SumUp running. Once you are happy, just start taking payments on Dojo and put the SumUp reader away. SumUp has no contract, so there is nothing to cancel. It is that straightforward.

No. SumUp is completely pay-as-you-go, no contract, no notice period, no exit fee. You bought the reader, so it is yours. Stop using it whenever you want and there is nothing to pay.

SumUp is a basic Bluetooth reader. It does the job when you are starting out, but once your business gets busier, the cracks show: no receipt printer, you need your phone nearby for every transaction, and the analytics barely tell you anything. Dojo is a completely different level: standalone 4G + WiFi terminal, built-in printer, next-day payouts every day of the week, and proper business intelligence showing your peak hours and average spend. It is the upgrade you make when your business gets serious.

No, it is yours. Keep it in a drawer as an emergency backup, pass it on to someone else, or recycle it. There are no return obligations or equipment charges.

SumUp charges 1.69% flat. Dojo debit rates typically sit around 1.2-1.6% plus a monthly terminal fee. The maths depends on your volume. Once you are doing more than about £2,000 a month in card payments, Dojo usually works out cheaper per transaction.
