Card payments, side by side
Outgrown SumUp? Here's what switching to Dojo looks like.
SumUp is a great way to start. But a flat rate that suits a market stall keeps charging the same once you're busy. Dojo gives you a rate set for your business, better kit, and a real person who looks after it.
SumUp1.69%
On every sale, whatever your size. Plus the reader you buy.
DojoBespoke
A rate set for your business, with a local consultant. First machine free.
Why businesses trust Dojo
What 1.69% really costs
Slide to your monthly card takings.
Dojo example rate: 0.75% debit, 0.95% credit
Take £15k+ a month and it drops to 0.40% / 0.80%.

£979a year
That's £82 every month, on an example Dojo rate. Yours is set after we see your statement.
SumUp at 1.69% on its standard plan. Dojo example: 0.75% debit and 0.95% credit (0.4% and 0.8% from £15k a month), 70% debit cards, 3p per sale, a £15 average sale, and the free first machine.
Your first card machine, free.
No monthly rental and nothing to pay upfront. Switch from SumUp, and the only thing you pay is your new, lower rate.
£0Why businesses switch
Five reasons, side by side.
One price for everyone, or a rate set for you
SumUp1.69% on every sale, whether you take £500 or £50,000 a month.
DojoA bespoke rate based on what you actually take, agreed with your consultant.
Flat rates are simple, and that's why they cost more as you grow. With Dojo we look at your statement, your average sale and your card mix, then set a rate that fits, and we can look at it again as you grow.
The small print on cheaper SumUp plans
SumUpPayments Plus is £19/month to get 0.99%, and only on domestic consumer cards.
DojoNo subscription to unlock your rate. The rate you agree is the rate you pay.
On Payments Plus, international, corporate and premium cards (including American Express) are still charged 1.69%, and online payments are 2.5%. If you serve trade or business customers, a lot of them pay on corporate cards, so those sales stay on the higher rate.
Buy-your-own reader, or kit built for busy days
SumUpYou buy the reader outright, from £25 to £135 + VAT, and replace it yourself.
DojoMachines with Wi-Fi and 4G options, and Dojo Go Max plugs into 600+ EPOS systems.
Dojo's mobile machines switch between Wi-Fi and 4G on their own, so a dropped signal doesn't stop a sale. They connect to your till for pay-at-counter and pay-at-table, and the Dojo app shows every transaction as it happens.
Sort it yourself, or have someone in your corner
SumUpOrder online, set it up from the app, and help centre when something goes wrong.
