This repository provides a native iOS SDK that enables you to integrate SumUp's proprietary card terminal(s) and its payment platform to accept credit and debit card payments (incl. VISA, MasterCard, American Express and more). SumUp's SDK communicates transparently to the card terminal(s) via Bluetooth (BLE 4.0) or an audio cable connection. Upon initiating a checkout, the SDK guides your user using appropriate screens through each step of the payment process. As part of the process, SumUp also provides the card terminal setup screen, along with the cardholder signature verification screen. The checkout result is returned with the relevant data for your records.
No sensitive card data is ever passed through to or stored on the merchant’s phone. All data is encrypted by the card terminal, which has been fully certified to the highest industry standards (PCI, EMV I & II, Visa, MasterCard & Amex).
For more information, please refer to SumUp's integration website.

- Requested an Affiliate (Access) Key via SumUp Dashboard for Developers.
- Deployment Target iOS 9.0 or later.
- Xcode 9 and iOS SDK 11 or later.
- iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
If you want to support the SumUp Air Register, please also read our additional Air Register setup guide.
The SumUp SDK is provided as an embedded framework SumUpSDK.embeddedframework
that combines a static library, its headers, and bundles containing resources such as
images and localizations. Please follow the steps below to prepare your project:
-
Add the
SumUpSDK.embeddedframeworkto your Xcode project. -
Link your app against
SumUpSDK.framework. -
Link your app against the following system frameworks:
Accelerate AVFoundation ExternalAccessory MapKit -
Add
-ObjCto "Other Linker Flags" if not yet included. -
Add the bundle provided in
SumUpSDK.embeddedframework/Resourcesto your app target.SumUpSDK.embeddedframework/Resources/SMPSharedResources.bundle
Note: You can use the sample app that is provided with the SumUp SDK as a reference project. The Xcode project contains sample apps written in Objective-C and Swift. In your debug setup you can also call
+[SMPSumUpSDK testSDKIntegration]. It will run various checks and print its findings to the console. Please do not call it in your Release build.
The SumUp SDK can be integrated via CocoaPods. Regardless if you use dynamic
frameworks (use_frameworks!), SumUp will always be added to your app as a
staticly linked library.
target '<Your Target Name>' do
pod 'SumUpSDK'
endTo learn more about setting up your project for CocoaPods, please refer to the official documentation.
The SDK supports all device orientations on iPad and portrait on iPhone.
Feel free to support other orientations on iPhone but please keep in mind that
the SDK's UI will be presented in portrait on iPhone.
See UISupportedInterfaceOrientations in the sample app's
Info.plist
or the "General" tab in Xcode's Target Editor.
The SumUp SDK requires access to the user's location, Bluetooth peripherals and the device's microphone. If your app has not asked for the user's permission, the SumUp SDK will ask at the time of the first login or checkout attempt. Please add the following keys to your info plist file:
NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription
NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription
NSMicrophoneUsageDescription
Note:
- Please refer to the sample app's Info.plist for more information regarding the listed permissions required.
- You can provide localization by providing a localized InfoPlist.strings file.
- For further information, see the iOS Developer Library on location usage on iOS 8 and later, Bluetooth peripheral usage, and microphone access in iOS 7 and later.
To import the SDK in Objective-C source files, you can use #import <SumUpSDK/SumUpSDK.h>. If module
support is enabled in your project, you can use @import SumUpSDK; instead.
In Swift, use import SumUpSDK. You do not have to add any headers to your bridging header.
Before calling any additional feature of the SumUp SDK, you are required to set up the SDK with your Affiliate (Access) Key:
[SMPSumUpSDK setupWithAPIKey:@"MyAPIKey"];Note:
setupWithAPIKey:checks for the user's location permission. Consequently, do not call this method as part of the app launch. This method must be called on the main queue.
Following app authentication, a registered SumUp merchant account needs to be logged in.
Present a login screen from your UIViewController, using the following method:
[SMPSumUpSDK presentLoginFromViewController:vc
animated:YES
completionBlock:nil];Note: To log out of the SDK, please refer to
logoutWithCompletionBlock:.
Once logged in, you can start using the SumUp SDK to accept card payments.
Prepare a checkout request that encapsulates the information regarding the transaction.
For this, you will need to create an instance of SMPCheckoutRequest:
SMPCheckoutRequest *request = [SMPCheckoutRequest requestWithTotal:[NSDecimalNumber decimalNumberWithString:@"10.00"]
title:@"your title"
currencyCode:[[SMPSumUpSDK currentMerchant] currencyCode]
paymentOptions:SMPPaymentOptionAny];Please note that you need to pass an NSDecimalNumber as the total value.
While NSDecimalNumber is a subclass of NSNumber it is not advised to use the
convenience method of NSNumber to create an NSDecimalNumber.
When setting up the SMPCheckoutRequest object, the following optional parameters can be included:
A tip amount can be processed in addition to the totalAmount using the tipAmount parameter.
The tip amount will then be shown during the checkout process and be included in the response.
Please note that a tip amount cannot be changed during/after the checkout.
Just like the totalAmount it is an NSDecimalNumber so make sure to
not accidentally pass an NSNumber.
The foreignTransactionID identifier will be associated with the transaction
and can be used to retrieve details related to the transaction.
See API documentation for details.
Please make sure that this ID is unique within the scope of the SumUp merchant account
and sub-accounts. It must not be longer than 128 characters.
// set an optional identifier
[request setForeignTransactionID:@"my-unique-id"];
To skip the screen shown at the end of a successful transaction, the
SMPSkipScreenOptionSuccess option can be used.
When setting this option your application is responsible for displaying
the transaction result to the customer.
In combination with the Receipts API, your application can also send your own receipts,
see API documentation for details.
Please note that success screens will still be shown when using the SumUp Air Lite readers.
Start a payment by using the checkout request below:
[SMPSumUpSDK checkoutWithRequest:request
fromViewController:vc
completion:^(SMPCheckoutResult *result, NSError *error) {
// handle completed and failed payments here
// retrieve information via result.additionalInfo
}];When logged in you can let merchants check and update their checkout preferences. Merchants can select their preferred card terminal and set up a new one if needed. The preferences available to a merchant depend on their respective account settings.
[SMPSumUpSDK presentCheckoutPreferencesFromViewController:self
animated:YES
completion:^(BOOL success, NSError * _Nullable error) {
if (!success) {
// there was a problem presenting the preferences
} else {
// next checkout will reflect the merchant's changes.
}
}];The following functions are handled by the SumUp APIs:
