That is, I register, they send me the accessory and if I never use it or completely skip the topic because it is not effective, there is no problem? Can I keep the accessory and as if nothing had happened?
Thank you
Yes, exactly
Although if you are not going to use it it is a not very useful accessory.
Very expensive, like Paypal, a last commission, no thanks, I will continue with my usual readers and my clients will pay less than half the commission. These, Paypal, eBay, are full-fledged thieves
the bad thing is that it does not work with VISA, only MasterCard
Hello Armitexnology,
SumUp does accept VISA payments, and American Express will be accepted very soon!
Not directly, you have to do everything in manual, respond by SMS, enter a page, put the card data ... nothing practical ...
