Why SMEs Choose RoxPay Over SumUp

01

Professional Android POS

SumUp offers entry-level readers. RoxPay provides standalone Android terminals with dedicated apps, table management, pre-authorizations, and integrated receipt printing.

02

Unified Omnichannel Dashboard

With SumUp, you manage POS and online separately. RoxPay unifies everything: every transaction, physical or digital, flows into the same dashboard with automatic reconciliation.

03

Advanced Reporting

While SumUp offers basic reports, RoxPay provides detailed analytics with breakdowns by channel, time slot, payment method, and net margin per transaction.

04

Pre-authorizations and Deposits

Essential for Horeca and Rental. SumUp doesn't support them. RoxPay handles holds, pre-auths, and partial releases directly from the terminal or via API.
