The software means you can access sales reports, process returns, manage bookings, and manage your business smoothly all on one device. Better still, the software can be adapted to suit your industry so, whether you operate in retail or hospitality, the Square Terminal can work for you and your business.<\/p><p>The SumUp Solo, meanwhile, continues to put simplicity at its heart. The minimal design keeps ease of use at the top of its agenda but the touch screen still ensures you have access to more functionality, such as the ability to add tips and access sales reports.\u00a0 Although you won\u2019t be able to manage your business to the extent you can with the Square Terminal.<\/p><p>All in all, when it comes to the Square Terminal vs the SumUp Solo, the Square Terminal offers more functionality and would be more able to adapt to the environments in which it\u2019s used than the SumUp Solo. That said, the SumUp Solo is a simple and effective card machine that is more than capable of holding its own in a variety of shops and other settings.
