Compatibility of SumUp Smart (Android POS) with the SumUp Android SDK

[alziromoraes]

Hello SumUp team,

I'm currently integrating the SumUp Android SDK into my application, and I would like to confirm whether the SumUp Smart (Android POS) terminal — the model available here:
https://store.sumup.com/pt-BR/product-selection/card_reader.smart_android — is compatible with this SDK.

According to the documentation and README, the SDK officially supports Air, Air Lite, Solo, and PIN+ terminals via Bluetooth (BLE).
However, the "SumUp Smart" seems to be a different class of device (Android-based POS with built-in hardware and apps).

Before proceeding with my integration, could you please clarify:

1. Is the SumUp Smart terminal supported by the current SDK (v4.x)?
2. If not, is there a separate SDK or API for Smart/Android POS devices?
3. Are there any plans to include Smart terminal support in future releases?

Environment:

• SDK version: 4.0.0
• Android target SDK: 33
• Kotlin: 1.9.0
• Device: SumUp Smart (Android POS)
• Use case: initiate card payments directly from a custom Android app

Thank you in advance for your help and for maintaining this SDK!

Hello @alziromoraes
SumUp Smart is a standalone product that does not require integration with SumUp SDK. It's a hand-held device that works as a standalone unit.

Soon, any sale will require the issuance of an NFCe tax document. Isn't it possible to install an app for it?

Hi @alziromoraes, it is not possible to install 3rd party apps on the SumUp Smart. We are working on solutions to support NFCe in the future.

A simple solution would be to send the sales information to a webhook where our system would generate the NFCe and it could be printed at the POS. This could be done with almost no changes to the system and would already be a quick solution.
