Step 3 - Reset the Bluetooth of your SumUp Card Reader
Resetting the SumUp card reader requires power to be turned off - this can be achieved by either removing the battery from the handle (use your thumbnail in the slot along the back of the handle, to push down on the top of it - it will then slide down out of the handle).
or removing the reader from the cradle
To reset you then:
1. press the button on the right of the card reader for a couple of seconds until it is off
2. release the button,
3. press the button again for several tens of seconds...
4. in this time the screen will be black, and then say "hold for BT" / "hold for reset" followed by "release for BT" / "hold for reset"
5. when "release for BT" / "hold for reset" pops up it is time to let go of the button.
6 the sumup should beep
You can now replace the SumUp/Power and on the GiveALittle app menu press "Connect Reader"
Transactions should proceed normally now.

B. Payment Processing Integration Dropped within Give A Little
When your Give A Little stops working and you have already updated your app, there is a chance that the integration between Give A Little and your SumUp / Stripe account has been interrupted. This can be due to the password on your account changing, or an issue with SumUp / Stripe's authentication service.
You can re-enable your SumUp / Stripe integration quite simply by going to https://givealittle.co/login and either:
- Selecting 'Login with SumUp' and entering your SumUp account owner credentials, or
- Logging in with your Give A Little credentials, going to 'Account', selecting 'Integrations', clicking on
- 'Connect with SumUp' and entering your SumUp account owner credentials. OR
- 'Connect with Stripe' and entering your Stripe account owner credentials.
If this doesn't fix the issue please reinstall the Give A Little app.
