From SumUp to Daevon: a real upgrade for your SME
SumUp is a fine starting point. As volume grows, you need transparent IC++ pricing, pre-authorizations, and one dashboard for POS and e-commerce — that's Daevon.

1,25% Four reasons SMEs leave SumUp
Android terminals, not just readers
SumUp readers stay entry-level. Daevon's standalone Android terminals add dedicated apps, table management, pre-authorizations, and built-in receipt printing.
One dashboard for everything
On SumUp, POS and online sales stay in separate worlds. Daevon brings every transaction, physical or digital, into one dashboard with automatic reconciliation.
Analytics beyond the basics
SumUp's reports stop at the basics. Daevon breaks every transaction down by channel, time slot, payment method, and net margin.
Pre-authorizations SumUp skips
Horeca and rental businesses need them, but SumUp doesn't support them. Daevon handles holds, pre-auths, and partial releases from the terminal or via API.
Every feature, side by side

Bank-grade protection, fintech pricing
PCI DSS Level 1
Daevon is certified at the highest PCI DSS level. SumUp handles security internally, with less transparency for the merchant.
Network Tokenization
Visa/Mastercard network tokenization cuts fraud by 26%. SumUp doesn't offer it.
Machine learning against fraud
Machine learning algorithms analyze every transaction and stop fraud attempts before they go through.
GDPR compliance built in
Data stays in European data centers, encrypted end to end. GDPR compliance is already there, no extra setup required.
