Hospitality advisers influence terminal choices before merchants enter the sales pipeline.
Merchants want predictable costs while advisers need a recommendation that protects their own client trust.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My accountant asked what I’m paying to take cards, and I still don’t have a straight comparison.”

What is at stake
Hospitality owners are choosing low-cost terminals before a consultative conversation happens. You must weigh adviser trust and a simple referral motion against the need to win higher-volume merchants.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- adviser trust vs referral volume
- predictable merchant costs vs commercial value
- field coverage vs channel experimentation
- POS fit vs a simple partner message
Why SumUp
Card readers and POS are already sold through local conversations with hospitality owners who need a practical payment setup.
