- The reader won't pair with the SumUp POS app

- I can't process a refund through the Zettle reader
- Please double check your connection by trying to do a dummy sale with the reader (you can cancel the sale without paying for it, but it's just to check if the reader is able to get the information from the SumUp POS app). If it can't connect please try re-pairing it (see the reader's setup page)
- To process your refund it will ask for your login details. Please note that these details are your Zettle details and not SumUp POS details. The SumUp POS support team can't view your Zettle login details so it's best to contact Zettle directly if you're having trouble logging in.
- When trying to login, you get an error that says "We've detected that you have disabled Javascript in your browser. So that we can securely log you in, you need to enable Javascript".
- This will mean you need to enable Javascript in Safari on your iPad. To do this, go to the Settings on your iPad > Scroll the Settings sidebar until you can see the Safari icon. Tap on Safari, then scroll the "Safari" settings section down to the "Advanced" option. Enable the Javascript option.
