Setup flows often fail where a merchant has to translate an existing catalogue into a new system.
Helpful validation can compete with the need to make progress before opening hours.

What pulls against what
- setup speed vs. catalogue accuracy
- clear guidance vs. low cognitive load
- quick recovery vs. root-cause improvement
What is at stake
More merchants can reach a sellable catalogue on day one. Delay leaves them doing manual setup when they are already preparing to trade
Why SumUp
For SumUp, early operational confidence often shapes whether merchants make the system part of daily trade.

Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
