# Optimising your SumUp card reader account to work with your SumUp POS account

## Setting up and accessing your SumUp card reader account to work correctly with your SumUp POS account

> Please note that the below steps are advised if you are using SumUp POS and SumUp card readers together.
> 
> If you are only using SumUp payments, please instead refer to the articles [here](https://help.sumup.com/en-GB).

1. ### Access and verify your SumUp account
   
     1. Ensure that you can login to [your SumUp account](https://auth.sumup.com/flows/login?login_challenge=00495ec016ed4c65b93d98a4ec0774ee), and that you have completed any **verification steps** for your SumUp account.
     2. The verification request emails will come from the SumUp onboarding team so it's essential that you **check your inbox for any requests from the SumUp onboarding team for verification** information (check your junk and spam!).
2. ### Set up your SumUp profile(s)
   
     1. If you are using more than one iPad to take orders, you will **need to set up a different SumUp profile (under your main profile) for each iPad**.  SumUp call these "employee profiles" and **this is very important if you use multiple iPads and multiple card readers.**
     2. Please follow the [steps here](https://help.sumup.com/en-GB/articles/56iouwpFNrV9xCFiWfSjLZ-employee-profiles) for how to set this up in your SumUp account.
     3. Ideally, each iPad will be logged into a separate employee profile, and each iPad will be linked to one card reader.
3. ### Check you can make payments and refunds through the POS app
   
     1. Follow the [steps here](https://support.thegoodtill.com/support/sumup-card-reader?hsLang=en) to link your reader with your iPad.
     2. Then perform a transaction by going to the main selling screen on the iPad, add something your basket \> Pay \> SumUp.
     3. Then ensure you can do refunds by going to cog \> Previous Transactions \> Refund \> Tick the items in the sale \> Confirm \> Process Refund. If you see an error, just ensure that your SumUp account is connected from the [POS back office](https://pos.thegoodtill.com/) by going to Apps \> SumUp \> [Connect your SumUp account](https://pos.thegoodtill.com/app/sumup/dashboard).
4. ### Check your SumUp payouts
5. 1. Ensure that the **[right bank account](https://help.sumup.com/en-GB/articles/53y9dGnD6jhNLBSf9DzoM-change-bank-account)** is connected to your SumUp account so that you can get paid correctly!
     2. Understand **[when to expect your payouts](https://help.sumup.com/en-GB/articles/3LmA9XV15VHbcJvl6YVpyX-understanding-payouts)** from SumUp.
     3. And [how to reconcile](https://support.thegoodtill.com/reconciliation-of-payments?hsLang=en)**[them](https://support.thegoodtill.com/reconciliation-of-payments?hsLang=en)** with your SumUp POS reports.
