SumUp charges a flat 1.69% fee for each transaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This simple fixed rate makes it easy to calculate fees, and allows you to accept international and American Express cards without any additional costs. It is, however, an expensive option than average to accept local card payments.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>SumUp Card readers<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SumUp offers three affordable card reader in Ireland: the SumUp Air, the SumUp 3G Printer, and the SumUp Solo. Each device is sold at a different price, but the same 1.69% rate applies regardless of the terminal used.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>SumUp Air<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The SumUp Air is the brand&rsquo;s entry-level card reader, available for \u20ac29. Its compact and sleek design makes it easy to use and carry around. The card reader connects via Bluetooth to a tablet or smartphone, and gets activated through the SumUp app. It is quite easy to set up and offers all basic payment functions such as collection, cancellation, and sending receipts by text or email.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>SumUp Solo<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solo is the most recent addition of SumUp to its card reader range. The device benefits from both the compact size of the SumUp Air and the autonomy of the SumUp 3G. Available for \u20ac99, it can connect to the network via 3G or Wi-Fi and has a fully touch-sensitive screen, but no built-in printer. Among our favorite features: asking the client for a tip based on the transaction amount.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>SumUp Terminal<\/h4>\n<p>The SumUp Terminal is an all-in-one, standalone card reader with a touchscreen that allows you to accept payments without needing a smartphone or tablet. It supports contactless, chip &amp; PIN, Apple Pay, and Google Pay transactions. With built-in 4G and Wi-Fi connectivity, it&rsquo;s ideal for businesses that need portability and reliability. It also includes features like product catalog access, tipping, and digital receipts, all directly from the device.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive  embed-responsive-16by9\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SumUp NEW Terminal Review | Entrepreneur Hero\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FtvJpBebNXA?start=10&#038;feature=oembed\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>SumUp Verdict: ideal for starting a business<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SumUp is the leading solution for starting businesses in Ireland. If you want an affordable reader with no fixed fees, SumUp is a winning choice. Nonetheless, SumUp is not the best option for established businesses because of their high percetage fees on transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Dojo &#8211; the complete card reader for established businesses<\/h2>\n<h3>The Dojo Offer<\/h3>\n<p>The Dojo Terminal was designed for established merchants, who want the same rates as banks, with no commitment or hidden fees.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dojo offers a modern and complete in-store payment solution, based on the latest generation of Android card readers, and some of the most competitive fees on the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dojo plan starts at \u20ac29 per month, giving access to their complete payment solution:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Acceptance of all payment methods in 4G or WiFi<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: cards, contactless, QR codes, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Access to Dojo&rsquo;s competitive bank rates, around ~0.8% on average<\/li>\n<li>Real-time Dojo back-office on mobile or desktop<\/li>\n<li>Live customer support with hotline on weekdays<\/li>\n<li>Dojo features: PoS integration, pay-in-3, payment over the phone, tipping, Google reviews, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good to know: Dojo&rsquo;s fees are based on interchange+, meaning they vary depending on the payment method used. For local cards, interchange amounts to 0.2 &#8211; 0.3%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to our tests, most merchants using Dojo pay less than 1% in fees on average. This makes the Dojo offer particularly attractive for businesses with regular cash-flows, such as restaurants, shops, grocery shops, hotels, franchises, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>The Dojo Card reader<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dojo offers an elegant card reader, from the latest generation of Android 4G &amp; Wi-Fi card readers. It features an integrated printer and HD touch screen. It is both elegant and robust (waterproof and drop-resistant), with a battery life that lasts for a full business day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The terminal comes with pre-installed applications for merchants: tips, Google Reviews, custom receipts, etc. Additional add-ons can be downloaded directly to the device from the Dojo Store app.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on an open technology, the Dojo Terminal can connect with third-party tools, such as PoS systems, accounting software, loyalty programs, etc. The complete list of Dojo&rsquo;s partners is regularly updated on their website.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Dojo Verdict: best option for established merchants<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A robust solution for established businesses who want a competitive card reader offer while maintaining their flexibility. We particularly appreciate Dojo&rsquo;s low transaction rates, although they can be complex to understand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Square &#8211; new card readers for starting Irish businesses<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12193 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/entrepreneurhero.org\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/square-hardware-300x120.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entrepreneurhero.org\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/square-hardware-300x120.png 300w, https:\/\/entrepreneurhero.org\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/square-hardware-1024x411.png 1024w, https:\/\/entrepreneurhero.org\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/square-hardware-768x308.png 768w, https:\/\/entrepreneurhero.org\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/square-hardware-50x20.png 50w, https:\/\/entrepreneurhero.org\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/square-hardware.png 1262w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>The Square Offer<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">US-based Square is a new entrant in the Irish in-store payment market. The company made its SumUp-like offering available in 2021, with a slightly different card reader range.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with SumUp, you have to buy your Square card reader once, and then only pay when you collect money. Square\u2019s fixed transaction fee is of 1.75% for all terminals, slightly above SumUp\u2019s 1.69%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to classic in-store payment services, Square offers a selection of remote payment tools (payment links, QR code payments, etc.), with similar flat-rate pricing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Square Card readers<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irish merchants can choose between two Square terminals: the minimalist Square Reader and the standalone Square Terminal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Square Reader<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Square Reader is a most basic chip and contactless card reader. It needs to be connected via Bluetooth to an Apple or Android device to operate. The merchant will have to activate the reader from their device, and optionally ask the customer to type in their PIN code. Available for an affordable \u20ac19, it is a rudimentary &#8211; yet smart and stylish &#8211; way to accept card and mobile payment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Square Terminal<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simply named \u00ab\u00a0Terminal\u00a0\u00bb, Square\u2019s most elaborate device combines the versatility of a classic card reader with a futuristic design. It costs \u20ac169 and features a large HD touchscreen, an integrated printer, and a long-lasting battery. Only drawback: it connects via Wi-Fi or Ethernet only as there is no SIM card.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Square Verdict: the leading alternative to SumUp<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Square\u2019s offer is very similar to SumUp\u2019s: it is great for micro-businesses who do not use their card reader very often. Slightly more expensive than SumUp in terms of transaction fees, it differentiates with its unique devices, 24\/7 phone support, and wide range of payment solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Elavon &#8211; a classic card reader offering with high fees<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12195 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/entrepreneurhero.org\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/elavon-readers-300x120.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entrepreneurhero.org\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/elavon-readers-300x120.png 300w, https:\/\/entrepreneurhero.org\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/elavon-readers-1024x411.png 1024w, https:\/\/entrepreneurhero.org\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/elavon-readers-768x308.png 768w, https:\/\/entrepreneurhero.org\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/elavon-readers-50x20.png 50w, https:\/\/entrepreneurhero.org\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/elavon-readers.png 1262w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>The Elavon Offer<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elavon is one of the world\u2019s top payment providers, operating worldwide with more than 2 million customers in 30 countries. It is naturally present in Ireland, where it offers a wide range of payment services, including in-store payment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elavon provides several types of classic Ingenico and Verifone payment card readers, that can be bought or leased, with transaction fees starting at 1%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As merchants have to apply online to get a custom price from Elavon, it is difficult to provide a definitive answer regarding the total costs of Elavon\u2019s offer. Public terminal leasing prices are nonetheless above-market, as for the commissions reported by merchants. We advise you ask for a quote if you want to get a full picture of Elavon\u2019s costs for your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be noted: there is a high volume of complaints from merchants online, with a recurring reporting of a lack of customer service.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Elavon Card readers<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elavon clients will have the choice between 3 card reader families: MobileMerchant (connecting via smartphone), Tetra (traditional terminals), Poynt (touchscreen terminals).<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>MobileMerchant<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MobileMerchant is Elavon\u2019s response to SumUp\u2019s Air card reader. It is a \u20ac39 card reader that connects to any smartphone via Elavon\u2019s mobile app. The pay-as-you-go transaction fee starts at 2.75% for classic cards, and gets higher for Amex and international cards. It is a very expensive SumUp alternative, with no real added value.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Tetra<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Tetra Move 5000 and Tetra Desk 5000 are two mobile and fixed traditional Ingenico terminals, that can be rented from \u20ac15 per month. They include all the features of traditional terminals, and differ mostly by their connectivity: 3G, Wi-Fi and\/or Bluetooth for the Move, Ethernet for the Desk. Minimum transaction fees start at 1%.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Poynt<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poynt P61B and Poynt P5 are two smart Android terminals equipped with touchscreens, built-in printers, and cameras. They can be leased from \u20ac27 per year, with transaction fees starting at 1%. Although the technical specs of the devices are quite impressive, the Poynt models are still quite limited in terms of features and integrations. Merchants using Talech PoS will nonetheless appreciate the fully-integrated application.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Elavon Verdict: standard and quite committing<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elavon\u2019s offer fails to differentiate against other solutions. The MobileMerchant offering, designed for micro-businesses, is way more expensive than SumUp or Square, with no extra features. Similarly, Tetra and Poynt terminals appear to be more expensive and less complete than alternatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Banks &#8211; traditional card reader offerings<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12196 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/entrepreneurhero.org\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/banks-ireland-300x120.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entrepreneurhero.org\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/banks-ireland-300x120.png 300w, https:\/\/entrepreneurhero.org\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/banks-ireland-1024x411.png 1024w, https:\/\/entrepreneurhero.org\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/banks-ireland-768x308.png 768w, https:\/\/entrepreneurhero.org\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/banks-ireland-50x20.png 50w, https:\/\/entrepreneurhero.org\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/banks-ireland.png 1262w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many banks offer their own in-store payment solutions, either developed in-house or through a partnership. For instance, BOI has its own Payment Acceptance division, AIB Merchant Services distributes Clover terminals, and Ulster Bank partners with Worldpay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting a card reader through your bank might be interesting in terms of transaction fees, but often comes along with long-term commitments and several additional costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our advice: to get a full picture of costs, take into consideration all additional fees charged by your bank (monthly installments, commitment duration, set-up fees, transaction fees, customer service fees, network fees, etc.).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need a card reader on individual occasions, we recommend that you go for SumUp or Square, who will provide you with a flexible and modern solution without any fixed costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion: which card reader should you go for in Ireland?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There recently has been some fresh air in the payment terminals space in Ireland. Newcomers, such as Square, bring in greater choice to merchants who want the best in-store payment solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Micro-merchants who occasionally use their card reader can choose between the modern and flexible offers of Square and SumUp.
