How does SumUp work with Ryft?

If you’re using both SumUp and Ryft in your salon, you might be wondering what the difference is — or whether you need both. The short answer is: they provide different types of payment functionality, and both are fully integrated into Tuft to work seamlessly with your bookings.

💻 Ryft – for online payments

Ryft handles online payments within Tuft. This is what powers:

• Deposit collection through the Tuft app or via SMS payment links
• Automated refund rules for cancellations
• Payouts to your account for deposits collected

If you’re collecting deposits through Tuft, you’re already using Ryft — it works quietly in the background to manage everything related to online payments.

💳 SumUp – for in-person payments

SumUp is fully integrated with Tuft and is used for in-person payments. With your SumUp card reader, you can take payment when the customer arrives at your salon — and because it’s linked to Tuft:

• You can process payments directly from the booking screen
• Payments are automatically logged against the correct booking
• There’s no need to manually reconcile or switch between systems

This makes SumUp perfect for final balances or walk-in appointments.

👀 Quick summary:

If you’re set up with both, you’ve got the best of both worlds:

• Ryft for automated deposits and online bookings
• SumUp for quick and easy in-person card payments
