Prerequisites

1. Registered for a merchant account via SumUp's country websites (or received a test account).
2. Received a SumUp card terminal: Solo, Air, Air Lite, PIN+ terminal, Chip & Signature reader, or SumUp Air Register.
3. Requested an Affiliate (Access) Key and registered your application ID via the SumUp Dashboard.
4. Flutter 3.44+ and Dart 3.12+.
5. iOS deployment target 16.0+ and Xcode 26.2+ (iOS 16.7+ for Tap-to-Pay; 17.5+ recommended).
6. Android minSdkVersion 26+ (30+ for Tap-to-Pay), targetSdkVersion 36, Java 17, Android Gradle Plugin 9.2.1, and Gradle 9.5.1.

Migrating from 0.14.x

Version 0.15.0 adopts the native SDK 7.x toolchains.

• Upgrade the app to Flutter 3.44+ / Dart 3.12+. SumUp Android SDK 7.1 requires Kotlin 2.4.0, while Flutter 3.44 still needs its temporary AGP 9 compatibility mode for this explicit KGP version. In the host app's android/gradle.properties, set:

  android.builtInKotlin=false
  android.newDsl=false
  

  Declare org.jetbrains.kotlin.android version 2.4.0 with apply false in android/settings.gradle:

  plugins {
      id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android" version "2.4.0" apply false
  }
  

  Then apply it in android/app/build.gradle:

  plugins {
      id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android"
  }
  

  Flutter 3.44 reports this legacy-KGP path as temporary; keep the two compatibility flags until Flutter can use the vendor-required Kotlin version through AGP's built-in Kotlin integration.
• Compile and target Android API 36 with Java 17, AGP 9.2.1, and Gradle 9.5.1.
• Keep Android minSdk 26 for card-reader-only apps. Configuring Tap-to-Pay credentials enables the TTP implementation; the host app must then also set minSdk to 30.
• Use an iOS 16 deployment target with Xcode 26.2 or later. Swift Package Manager is recommended; SumUp will stop publishing new CocoaPods SDK releases after October 31, 2026.

Android rollback warning: after an app has initialized SumUp Android SDK 7.1.0, downgrading that installation to a version backed by an older native SDK is not supported. Validate the migration with a sandbox merchant and use a staged rollout.

iOS rollback warning: before downgrading from SumUp iOS SDK 7.1.2, upload all pending Offline Payments. If a downgrade is unavoidable, upload them first, delete the app, and then install the version backed by the older SDK.

Installing

Add sumup to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  sumup:

Import sumup:

import 'package:sumup/sumup.dart';

Getting Started

// 1. Initialise the SDK with your Affiliate Key
await Sumup.init(affiliateKey);

// 2. Log in — either interactively or with an OAuth token
await Sumup.login();
// or
await Sumup.loginWithToken(token);

// 3. (Optional) Ask the user to pick / configure a card reader
await Sumup.openSettings();

// 4. Optionally warm up the reader before checkout
await Sumup.prepareForCheckout();

// 5. Run a checkout
var payment = SumupPayment(
    title: 'Coffee',
    total: 3.50,
    currency: 'EUR',
    foreignTransactionId: '', // leave empty to auto-generate a unique ID
    saleItemsCount: 1,
    skipSuccessScreen: false,
    tip: 0.0,
);

var checkout = await Sumup.checkout(SumupPaymentRequest(payment));
// checkout.success          — bool
// checkout.transactionCode  — String
// checkout.amount           — double (not available on Android Tap-to-Pay)
// checkout.currency         — String (not available on Android Tap-to-Pay)
// checkout.products         — List<SumupProduct>; iOS and Android card reader only
// checkout.merchantCode     — String; Android Tap-to-Pay only
// checkout.cardScheme       — String; Android Tap-to-Pay only
// checkout.errors           — String; non-null when success is false

Available APIs

Sumup.init(affiliateKey);

Sumup.login();
Sumup.loginWithToken(token);

Sumup.isLoggedIn;
Sumup.merchant;

Sumup.openSettings();
Sumup.prepareForCheckout();
Sumup.isTipOnCardReaderAvailable;
Sumup.isCardTypeRequired;       // iOS only
Sumup.isCheckoutInProgress;     // iOS only

// Card reader checkout
Sumup.checkout(SumupPaymentRequest(payment));

// Tap-to-Pay checkout
Sumup.checkout(SumupPaymentRequest(payment, paymentMethod: PaymentMethod.tapToPay));
Sumup.checkTapToPayAvailability();  // → TapToPayAvailabilityResult
Sumup.presentTapToPayActivation();  // iOS only; no-op on Android

Sumup.logout();

Tap-to-Pay (TTP)

Accept contactless payments directly on compatible smartphones, without any additional hardware.

iOS

Requirements:

• iPhone XS or later, iOS 16.7+ (17.5+ recommended); iPad is not supported
• Entitlement com.apple.developer.proximity-reader.payment.acceptance added to your project (requires approval from Apple)
• See Apple's HIG for Tap to Pay on iPhone

Setup:

1. Log in with Sumup.login() or Sumup.loginWithToken().
2. Call Sumup.checkTapToPayAvailability(). If isActivated is false, call Sumup.presentTapToPayActivation() to run the one-time activation flow.
3. Use PaymentMethod.tapToPay in your request:

   var request = SumupPaymentRequest(payment, paymentMethod: PaymentMethod.tapToPay);
   var checkout = await Sumup.checkout(request);
   

Android

Tap-to-Pay is opt-in (since 0.14.2). The TTP SDK (com.sumup.tap-to-pay:utopia-sdk) lives in a private SumUp Maven repository. By default the plugin builds without it — no credentials, no private-repo access, no 401. The card-reader (merchant-sdk) checkout path works fully in this mode. You only need the steps below if you actually want Tap-to-Pay. (If you previously hit Could not resolve com.sumup.tap-to-pay:utopia-sdk … 401 Unauthorized, upgrade to 0.14.2+ and simply don't set the property.)

Requirements:

• NFC-enabled physical device, Android 11 (API 30)+
• Set the host application's minSdk to 30 when enabling Tap-to-Pay.
• Enable core-library desugaring in the host app module, as required by Tap-to-Pay 1.1.1+:

  android {
      compileOptions {
          coreLibraryDesugaringEnabled true
      }
  }
  
  dependencies {
      coreLibraryDesugaring 'com.android.tools:desugar_jdk_libs:2.1.5'
  }
  

• Get Tap-to-Pay Maven credentials from SumUp (contact integration@sumup.com), then add them to your user-level ~/.gradle/gradle.properties (or pass them via -P / environment). Do not commit the credentials to the app repository. The plugin reads both credentials and automatically wires the private Maven repo and compiles the utopia-sdk dependency — you do not add it to your own build.gradle.

  SUMUP_TTP_MAVEN_USERNAME=...
  SUMUP_TTP_MAVEN_PASSWORD=...
  

  For environment-only configuration, use the names above or Gradle's standard ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_SUMUP_TTP_MAVEN_USERNAME and ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_SUMUP_TTP_MAVEN_PASSWORD variables.
• SumUp sandbox merchants can test with a debuggable build. Live merchants require a non-debuggable build with USB Debugging and Developer Options disabled.

Usage:

1. You must use Sumup.loginWithToken(accessToken) — token login is required for the TTP SDK to authenticate in the background.
2. Use PaymentMethod.tapToPay in your request:

   var request = SumupPaymentRequest(payment, paymentMethod: PaymentMethod.tapToPay);
   var checkout = await Sumup.checkout(request);
   

Note: The Android TTP SDK does not return amount or currency in the transaction result. If you need them, query the SumUp Transactions API using checkout.transactionCode or checkout.foreignTransactionId.
