Three ways in which SumUp addresses payment challenges for agents
SumUp is a flexible, secure and efficient payment solution that fits around the needs of an agent
By the time you’ve reached the payment stage, you’ve already done the hard work – from creating a standout itinerary to sharing the best deals, your job is almost complete. Now, it’s over to your payment provider to help get a booking over the line.
SumUp provides a simple, flexible and efficient payment solution that removes many of the common challenges associated with traditional payment methods. Instead of dealing with unnecessary administration, delays and payment friction, you can focus on delivering exceptional service to your clients. Here are three ways in which SumUp makes the life of an agent easier.
1. Simplified payment processing
SumUp brings everything together in one easy-to-use platform, making payment processing straightforward for both agents and customers. Agents can accept debit and credit cards, contactless payments, mobile wallets and remote payments, giving clients the freedom to pay, however they prefer. Once the payment has been made, SumUp securely processes the transaction and transfers the funds directly to your account.
There’s also a wide range of payment solutions to suit different ways of working. Choose from a standalone card reader, the SumUp Air card reader, which connects to your smartphone via the app, or accept payments through an online store, payment links, QR codes and even gift cards. Whether you’re in-store, travelling abroad or selling remotely from home, there’s a payment option to suit your business.
2. Reduced administrative burden
Managing payments, invoices and reporting can be time-consuming, but SumUp helps streamline your day-to-day administration.
Its point of sale (POS) system can sync with your accounting software, making it easier to create, send and manage invoices while keeping financial records organised with daily summaries. Automatic reporting and instant invoice syncing help minimise errors, giving you more time to focus on your customers.
SumUp is also transparent when it comes to pricing. Aside from purchasing your card reader, there are no sign-up fees, installation costs or long-term contracts. You simply pay a transaction fee when you take a payment.
3. Improved customer experience
Clients expect a payment experience as smooth as your communication with them. A hassle-free payment experience not only improves customer satisfaction but also reinforces trust in your business. By removing payment challenges, travel agents can spend less time managing transactions and more time creating unforgettable travel experiences for customers.
To get started, download the SumUp app, create your account, connect your bank account, pair your card reader and you’re ready to start taking payments – with no lengthy training required.
