I do preferably but sometimes people realise they have'nt enough dosh on them and it's handy when you can whip out the old white knight (ooooh matron!) instead of going on a goose chase to find an atm.
which brings me to my second problem that I've encountered a few times.
when passengers have their FreeNow payment set on cash they can't switch to an account payment.
I picked a girl up and it was a cash payment and she said I've no lolly I'll pay through the account instead.
she was fiddling like fuck with her phone and I eventually wooled it off her and it just would'nt let me highlight card over cash on her app.

The only difference between a transaction using your own card and someone else's would be the distance between your phone and the reader (bluetooth failing?) Is the sum up reader fully charged?
Try moving your phone and the reader together (keeping them close while the transaction takes place)
Only trouble I have with the sumup reader is that sometimes it takes a few tries to connect via bluetooth (often at the airport for some reason)

Open to correction on this but if she doesn't have a card registered on the FN app, she can't pay by card automagically. 

Open to correction #2 but I think there is an option for non-FN people to pay using their card.  On the FN front page, you swipe the ^ in the bottom left and one of the options is to pay by card.  I've only used it once or twice.  Maybe a FN cash-only person can pay by card that way?  Now that I think about it, I can't remember how the passenger swaps the card info with FN?

That's a feature of the App, You can switch from card to cash (makes sense if the card is declined)
But you cannot switch from cash to card (I guess the developers decided there wouldn't be a need to do that?)

the reader connects to the phone no problem and it primes the payment on the little screen. they press their card against it and it beeps but I get the transaction failed notice. I tested my brother and the sis's cards earlier on while connecting to mobile data as you would while you're out in the car and they worked grand. for some reason it's stopped working out in the field.

I'm aware of possible agro if you hold your phone close to the reader while someone else is tapping their card. the reader thinks you're also trying to tap a payment off your phone at the same time and will get confused. I realised I was doing that a few years ago but I never take my blower out of the windscreen cradle anymore and it's definitely not what's causing the issue.

I have switched from cash to card in the past on Freenow.It has to be done on the payment screen of our app.

Just update everything DMG and restart the thing.

There are settings in the Sumup app that you may have messed with that can enable and disable your card reader.

the app is'nt looking for an update at the moment. deleting and reinstalling the app may or may not fix the problem. you don't want to find out when you tell someone that yes you take a card and then the yoke won't work outside their gaff. you'll look a right tool. I had to tell a couple of fares last night that it worked when it did'nt when they tapped their card and just write off the loss.

Incorrect, often you can switch to "account" even in the default is "cash". If the customer has a card registered on the app, but has chosen to have "cash" as the default, you will be allowed to swich to "account", but the client will have to have their app open and validate the transaction, unlike when "account" is the default and no validation is required. Customers who often order cabs for a third party sometimes choose to have their account set like this.

mytaxi

From March 2012, myTaxi will provide its connected taxis with Wirecard AG’s mobile card reader solution. The mobile smartphone add-on is branded as the “myTaxi card reader”.

This allows taxi drivers to settle each taxi journey cash-free, including trips that were not ordered using myTaxi. The myTaxi card reader is currently being launched in Germany, Spain and the USA to accept MasterCards and EC-cards; Visa is currently being planned. Additional countries will follow soon.

Last year, myTaxi launched the first mobile payment system with “myTaxi Payment”, which allows taxi journeys to be paid directly from a smartphone to a smartphone in the taxi. The myTaxi app handles the payment process, and Wirecard processes and accepts the stored credit card data.

“The myTaxi card reader is an additional myTaxi Payment product. We offer drivers not only direct taxi ordering, but also the opportunity to settle the entire payment process for all of their passengers using myTaxi, in just a single app,” noted Niclaus Mewes. myTaxi’s co-founder and CEO continued “We have more than 20,000 connected taxis, which gives us the most extensive access to the taxi market compared to our competitors.”

Brigitte Häuser-Axtner, Vice President Digital Sales with Wirecard commented, “Together with myTaxi we have developed an innovative payment product, which is linked to the existing app. Thanks to this integrated concept it makes it easier for taxi drivers to accept payment.”

The myTaxi card reader uses the white label program offered by the payment specialist Wirecard. This comprises a hardware dongle with a magstripe reader, which is attached to the smartphone, and the associated card acceptance agreement. The payment application has been integrated into the existing myTaxi App for drivers, in order to guarantee fast, simple processing. The payment data transfer is encrypted, and is in line with the highest security requirements. The customer confirms payment by signing the smartphone’s touch screen. A receipt can be sent by e-mail if desired.

SumUp drives Taxi.de app payments

SumUPSumUp, the company that enables merchants to take debit and credit card payments with their smartphones, has entered into an exclusive partnership with Taxi.de, a mobile taxi-hailing service used by citizens across Germany. The ink has only just dried on a deal, which will enable Taxi.de to offer full card payment functionality through the SumUp API, so cab drivers will be able to accept debit and credit card payments from passengers through the Taxi.de app. In effect, the deal will address the inability of many German cabbies to accept card payments in an easy and affordable way.

Using the SumUp card reader, passengers will be able to pay for journeys by Visa, MasterCard, or debit card, and they will also be given the option to tip their driver when they pay for their ride. Drivers will be provided with free SumUp card readers, and there are no monthly charges or installation costs – the driver just pays a fixed 2.75% per transaction made. The service is free to use for passengers.

My sum up card reader will not accept payments that are not Tapless (under 30/50) fer the last month or so.
As in if a fare is a Tenner and the customer has a non tapless card, they insert the card and the machine just sez 'insert card' and 'remove card' constantly which usually results in a waived fare or a trip to an ATM.

I had two fares on the freenow last night that were marked as cash.
both people asked if they could pay with card instead.
knowing my sumup yoke was on the blink I checked if I could switch payment method to account and I could.
when I pulled up outside their gaffs I switched over from cash to account and it wanted the customer's authorization.
in both cases they were trying to slide from cash to account on their own app and it would'nt let them.

The City watchdog has confirmed it does not yet know whether thousands of UK customers' money is safe after the spectacular collapse of German payments company Wirecard.

Customers of a host of UK fintech firms, including card providers Curve and Pockit, use Wirecard's technology to process payments.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), ordered Wirecard's UK arm to stop making payments on Friday to prevent it potentially disposing of any funds after it emerged that €1.9bn was missing from the company's accounts.

Any of us that use Sum Up will know that with our american cousins,they dont have a PIN No., this usually means you handing over your phone for them to "write their signature" with their finger nail on your phone screen for payment to go through.

With Covid19 crapology, I am very reluctant to hand over my phone for them to do this in future.

Any suggestions?

Just guessing,but freenow pre-authorise the fare.If the cash needed isn't on the card,they switch the fare to cash only.
It would make sense to not allow the customer to switch back to account in those circumstances.
Have you tried the mobile payments on Sumup?
Title: Re: sum up reader not working
Post by: vandriver on July 01, 2020, 08:45:31 am
When you enter the amount in the SumUp app,hit charge as usual,the on the next screen choose mobile payments and send a link through SMS to the customers phone.
They get a link which takes them to a payment page where they manually enter their card details.

Just to add to VDs post you can also send a payment link with Revolut if yis have it.The other person doesn't need to have a Revolut account.

Go to payments >request payment>Put the value in>create payment link>share payment link to their mobile via text.

Just to add to VDs post you can also send a payment link with Revolut if yis have it.The other person doesn't need to have a Revolut account.

Go to payments >request payment>Put the value in>create payment link>share payment link to their mobile via text.

Handy for emergencies.

Hang on,I dont understand that.

So if you have revolute and the passenger hasnt , they can still send money into your revolut account is that it ??

How can they do that if they dont have a revolut account??

'scuse the ignorance,when it comes to techie stuff, one is not on top of things. Would you mind explaining in more detail?

Thanks

It's easy..the link contains an online form to input card details and pay x amount.Just a web page that opens up.Then it turns up in your Revolut account.

I've yet to use it but that's that's how it works.

Sorry Im lost again,, what link are u talking about??  You initially said "Go to payments >request payment>Put the value in>create payment link>share payment link to their mobile via text."

Are you saying that I have to go to a link ( i have revolut) on the Revolut app ? and open up the above ??

No after logging into your Revolut app go to the bottom of the screen where it has two arrows, it should be the third icon.press it then on the next page there are 4 blue boxes near the top.Pull them left to right to find the one that says "payment link".press it and it should make sense now.

You are sending the passenger a web page link that they have to open to input their details.Practice it with someone in yer gaff.

Yes you can do the same on cabapp. I've done it remotely for another driver a few times, who had no CC facility, sent the link to the client's phone, they input their card details, and pay me, and I gave him the cash later, minus the 2.75% and 25c transaction fe of course.

Thanks , youre going to swing for me. So, I pressed the 2 arrows and the page that came up was an ad for "send money instantly ,pay and get paid. Transfer money abroad for less and a START button.
Below that theres "some of your friends"  It lists 3 friends ..
Other than that I see no 4 blue boxes at all
Stumped!

Justin your app may differ from mine but this os the screen you need to find.On this picture there are only three light blue boxes.They may be different on yours.I can't remember if I customised mine.

I've deleted any payment or contact details off the picture but the boxes should be the same.On mine you can slide them to the left to reveal the one you're looking for.Play around with the app and learn all the different screens.

Thanks again for the reply.

Yes it looks as if my app is different to yours, hence the problem.
But I will play around with it and see whats what.

Much appreciated

about two or three days after it stopped working I got an e-mail from sumup telling me to verify my account or they'd cut me off.
it was about the tenth such e-mail I got and I think they musta done it this time. all I had to do though was photograph my driver license and send it through the app. did'nt hear a dickie bird back but she's working goodo again tonight.

Just like Sumup they wanted to verify my account, something to do with new money laundering legislation that came in.

I've had the account since Primary school.Nothing unusual going on that I know of.This is the same bank I had my mortgage with.Very odd that they just stopped sending out the letters.
